I've decided to do album reviews here on a regular basis. You can comment this post if you want my opinion on a certain album, or tweet me @adiek84. I've already asked on Twitter and Facebook for some suggestions and the next reviews will be for the latest albums of Kings of Leon, My Chemical Romance, Linkin Park, Bruno Mars, Cee-Lo Green, Pink Floyd, Sting, Alex Band (or Alex Max Band in Germany) and Kanye West. Most of them I haven't even listened to yet, so be patient, please. I'm gonna start with Rihanna's latest album "Loud":...
The Grammys were so great this year, weren't they? So many amazing performances! My favourites were the two Rihanna performances with Drake/Eminem, Skylar Grey & Dr. Dre, the Aretha Franklin tribute, Janelle Monae, B.O.B. & Bruno Mars and I've heard Muse were very good, but I haven't watched their performance yet. What are yours?
For now let's forget about the Grammys and focus on the BRIT awards! They'll be awarded tonight and there'll be some awesome performances by Take That, Plan B, Rihanna,Tinie Tempah, Mumford & Sons, Adele, Cee Lo Green and Arcade Fire.

Skylar Grey, who is nominated for the Grammy this year in 5 categories, wrote a blog for Grammy.com, in which she describes how it feels to be a first-time Grammy nominee. Fort Minor fans know that Skylar Grey is none other than Holly Brook who was featured on Fort Minor's hit single "Where'd you go" (scroll down to watch a performance of the song). Apparently Holly/Skylar decided to change her name before she started to work on world domination by writing hits like "Love the way you lie" (Eminem & Rihanna) and "I'm coming home" (Diddy Dirty Money).
The Recording Academy asked this year's first-time GRAMMY nominees to collect their thoughts and share what it feels like to be nominated for a GRAMMY. Tune in to the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Sunday, Feb. 13 on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT)....
