It’s
awards season, and don’t we just love this time of the year. The entertainment
industry is buzzing with all these awards however, I am more interested in the
film and music industry, and of course, the fashion that comes with it. I shall
particularly focus on this year’s Grammy Nominations that have brought veteran
artists like Taylor Swift, Kelly Clarkson, Chris Brown, Rihanna, Kanye West,
Maroon 5, Florence and the Machine, and so on… Leading the pack, we have The
Black Keys, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Frank Ocean and fun.
One
thing that can be said about the music industry in 2012 is that we have seen a
shift from the regular genre of things – there is a bigger appreciation and
love for pop and garage, and we have seen this shift fully take over the
hip-hop/rap and R&B unlike previous years.
I
shall personally be rooting for Frank Ocean, fun and of course, Carly Rae
Jepsen. And yes, the latter too. We all bobbed our heads to ‘Call Me Maybe’ –
you can’t deny that. Unfortunately or fortunately, whichever way you look at
it, PSY was not nominated for his infamous ‘Gangnam Style’ song. Not even for
‘Song of the Year’. Some critics speculate that it might be because the song is
not in English and the Grammys are based in the United States. Either way, we
love you PSY!

will take place on February 10th, 2013 at the Staples Center in Los
Angeles and they shall be hosted by LL Cool J.
