A Week In The Life…26/02/12

It’s been a few weeks since I’ve written a weekly roundup, with my Grammy articles taking precedence. Let’s get back on this. TUNE of Right Now:  Dance (A$$) Remix (Feat. Nicki Minaj) – Big Sean There are plenty of current tunes, such as Somebody That I Used To Know, Part of Me and Hot Right … Continue reading →

Why Starships is the worst decision of Nicki Minaj’s career so far…

Posted on February 18, 2012 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

I’ve written a fair few articles about Nicki Minaj and how impressed I am with her success. Let me be clear from the start of this immediately scathing article though, and say that she’s one of my favourite new artists in years, inventive, original and a female rapper worth caring about. But as the title … Continue reading →

Grammys 2012: Was it worth the effort?

Posted on February 13, 2012 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

  This time last year I was recovering from a truly shocking Grammys, which saw 2 of the big 4 awards go to outsiders. The awards themselves were as predicted in 2012, and while I’m here to take a look back on last night’s action, I’ll try and keep this brief. The whole night was … Continue reading →

Who deserves to win Best New Artist at the Grammys 2012?

Posted on February 12, 2012 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

I must have looked very stupid following my 2011 Grammy predictions, where I said the award was Bieber’s to win and eventual winner Esperanza Spalding was just included to round out the numbers…but the rest of the internet was as surprised as me with the eventual result. This year is just as difficult to judge, … Continue reading →

Who Should Win Record/Song of the Year at the 2012 Grammys?

Posted on February 10, 2012 by Sam Atkins • Leave a comment

Moving on from the full fat albums vying for wins at this year’s Grammys, we have the next from the Big Four, Record and Song. Last year Lady Antebellum scored a double for their brilliant Need You Now, and with 4 artists being nominated in both categories, the same could happen again in 2012. I’ll … Continue reading →

Who should win Album of the Year at the 2012 Grammys?

There’s a week to go until the biggest night in the music calender, a night that is sure to cause drama and surprises whether you like it or not. The Grammys are renowned for making poor decisions when it comes to nominations, and often baffling decisions when it comes to giving the awards out. I’ll … Continue reading →

TUNE of Right Now: Give Me All Your Luvin’ (Feat. Nicki Minaj & M.I.A.) – Madonna If I took into account the whole week that has just gone, my TUNE of the week should probably be Kelly Clarkson Stronger or Swedish House Mafia Antidote. But I knew what song would be on repeat by the … Continue reading →
