Adele's Hello Reached 1 Billion Views In Nearly 3 Months

VEVO ALERT! VEVO ALERT! VEVO ALERT!

We have some humongous news:

You won't belive this, 3 months ago, Adele's Hello was released on October 2015 and nearly 3 months later, the music video has gained 1 billion views on Vevo and YouTube. That's right. I'm talking about this huge record. But wait, that's not all...

Adele's Hello music video not only gained more than 1 billion views on Vevo in almost 3 months, but Adele breaks 1 billion-view record on YouTube beating that stupid Gangnam Style. Hooray. I hate Gangnam Style. I'm glad Adele was a new history. Back in 2012, nothing is more popular than Psy's K-pop smash, Gangman Style. That "junk music" has ranked in over 1 billion views on YouTube in just 158 days as a record. What the fart? Now, we got this.

That record has been broken by Adele who's making a habit of breaking records lately as Adele's Hello video hit the billion mark in just 87 days since YouTube revealed the rankings 5 days ago. That's right, I'm talking about Hello beating Gangnam Style's records on YouTube. You go, bitch.

Anyway, and to put the accomplishment in perspective, according to Today, concider this: Only 17 music videos have ever hit the billion mark like Katy Perry's Roar and Taylor Swift's Shake It Off. Among them is Justin Bieber's Baby (Boo!), but it took that clip over 4 years to earn a spot on the short list.

According to Tech Times, "Adele's comeback single "Hello" has broken another record, and in a big way. The video for the song has become the fastest ever to reach 1 billion YouTube views, beating out the former record holder, Psy's "Gangnam Style" in almost half the time it took the latter to reach the milestone.

Adele broke some significant records in 2015, and she's starting off the new year setting some brand new ones. Last October, the video for the "Hello" single broke Taylor Swift's previous record for the most views of a video in a single day, racking up over 27 million sets of eyeballs. Then in November, when the song was released, she broke another record, this time for most first-week digital downloads sold, at 1.1 million.

Later that month, when her 25 album went on sale, she broke the record for most digital downloads of an album and overall sales of an album in its first week of release, with her 3.38 million total besting boy band 'NSync's longstanding previous record by 1 million.

Now, the video for "Hello" has officially received over 1 billion YouTube views, 87 days following its release. That beats out the previous leader, South Korean performer Psy's viral video hit "Gangnam Style," which caught the world's interest to the tune of over a billion YouTube views in 158 days, almost twice the time it took Adele to achieve the same feat.

The 1 billion mark had been reserved for less than a handful of songs until lately, when numerous new songs began surpassing the milestone. Several years ago, "Gangnam Style" and Justin Bieber's "Baby" were the only videos to hold the honor, and it took the Canadian heartthrob over 4 years to make the mark. Maroon 5's "Sugar," Major Lazer's "Lean On," OneRepublic's "Counting Stars," LMFAO's "Party Rock," and Sia's "Chandelier" have all joined the over a billion club.

It's interesting to distinguish between the videos at the billion mark that are most likely viewed due to their video content as opposed to those that are more often streamed as a way to access the song itself. It's clear that the videos by Psy, Sia, and LMFAO had huge actual viewing interest, since the dancing in each piece is a big factor in its popularity.

Psy's moves, LMFAO's shuffling, and the impassioned dance performance of 13-year-old Maddie Ziegler in Sia's video were all crucial elements of their respective song's popularity, while with the Adele and Major Lazer songs, YouTube appears to be acting in some cases as more of an on-demand streamer for listening purposes.

In any case, viewers have now seen or heard Adele hanging up her flip phone over one billion times, and counting."

Congratulations on becoming the fastest music video ever to reach 1 billion views for Hello's music video, Adele. Keep up the good work.

As you may know that I don't trust repeats and breaking records. Why? Because repeats and breaking records are ruining the businesses these days. I hate repeats and breaking records. That's all business does these days. I'm sick of repeats and breaking records.

All people listen to music does these days is repeats like radio and celebrities like Justin Bieber. That's all people listen to music does these days. Repeats like pop music and celebrities like Nicki Minaj. People listen to music don't care about diversity like music videos and rock music. Hello, this is mainstream music, not repeats and celebrities music.

I hate breaking records version of successes. Why do we need nothing but junk music like Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style? It's getting repetitive. This is why Avril Lavigne do not like breaking records because breaking records do hurt not only Avril Lavigne but also something like streaming music and internet. Rant/ramble over.

Back to Adele.

Congrats to Adele for creaming Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style because I do not like Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style. I'm gonna break Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style into pieces until no more. Stupid Justin Bieber and Gangnam Style.

This is why this song needs to be an event. Why? Because most music like this one needs to be events. Especially music from 2009-2014 like Katy Perry's Dark Horse (I never like that song, but whatever.) and Taylor Swift's Blank Space. That's why they needs to be events.

What do you think? Are you happy that Adele's Hello breaks Psy's Gangnam Style's record on Vevo? Give me in the comments below!

What A Hot Music Video, Selena Gomez

Hey everybody, I haven't do my blog for the last 10 days. Especially I talked about the death of David Bowie. But, I'm here now.


As you may know that Selena Gomez's Same Old Love has reached number 1 on the Pop Songs airplay chart. Finally. It's about time to do more number 1s going by important projects. I hate number 1s going by radio and celebrities like Justin Bieber. I'm sick of radio number 1s like Pink number 1s. Why can't number 1s go by number 1s in general like Avril Lavigne number 1s? Anyway, I'm glad Same Old Love is number 1. The song deserves to be number 1 on any Billboard chart. Same Old Love also reaches number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now let's talk about Selena Gomez's hot music video for Hands To Myself. Shall we?


Here it is, Hands To Myself. Now, as you may know that Hands To Myself is written by Justin Tranter, Julia Michaels, and its producers Mattman & Robin and Max Martin. The second last song recorded for Selena Gomez's second studio album, Revival (2015), Hands to Myself was described by the Cme & Get It singer as "a beautiful accident" and "probably the best song on the album". Also, An accompanying music video directed by Alek Keshishian was premiered as an Apple Music exclusive on December 21, 2015. The video depicts a film of the hot singer dressed in lingerie playing a stalker of a Hollywood actor. Critics commended the video's cinematography and Selena Gomez's appearance, hailing it as her sexiest and most revealing visual yet. She manage to promote Hands to Myself with a televised performance on the 2015 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. The song has also been lip-synced to by the Victoria's Secret Angels in a promotional video, used in Beats Electronics's commercial for their Beats Pill portable speaker, and used in TV commercials for Hair-care brand Pantene. Wow, talk about hot. That's right. This is what I think on why Selena Gomez is hot in her Hands To Myself music video. Let's find out.


The accompanying music video for Hands to Myself was directed by Alek Keshishian and filmed in Hollywood Hills, California. Christopher Mason of Wilhelmina Models plays her love interest in the music video. In addition, she partnered with Beats Electronics for the Hands to Myself music video, promoting their Beats Pill portable speaker. Cool. She shared a 30-second preview clip of the music video on Facebook on December 7, 2015. The clip which heavily features the Beats Pill tied in as Beats Electronics's commercial for the product. On December 17, 2015, Selena Gomez posted two image teasers on Instagram and then a second preview clip the following day. The music video premiered as an Apple Music exclusive on December 21, 2015. It was released on Vevo on January 20, 2016.

In the music video, Christopher Mason plays the role of an actor while Selena Gomez plays his stalker. The video begins with a handcuffed Slow Down chick writhing around on a bed, donning an engagement ring, a bob wig and black silk robe. Shots of marked maps and an image collage of Christopher Mason on a wall are then shown. She later breaks into his modern penthouse apartment with the intention of fulfilling a sexual fantasy of him. On arrival, Selena Gomez takes off her robe and wears only spiked stilettos and black lingerie consisting of a bra and high-waisted underwear showing her butt as she went upstairs. Ooh, I do adore her butt. Why? Because she has a nice butt. Let's continue. She searches through his color-coordinated closet and tries on one of his dress shirts. Dancing in the shirt, Selena Gomez proceeds to smelling his cologne bottle.

Then she is then depicted writhing around on his bed caressing herself as she imagines a love scene with him. In another segment, she is shown taking a hot bath, imagining him in a shower. Selena Gomez also watches a marathon of movies in which Christopher Mason stars in. Tired, she proceeds back upstairs wrapped in a bed sheet where one of his film posters titled The Obsession is shown at the staircase wall. Then she passes out on his bed. Christopher Mason later arrives home and realizes that something is wrong and calls the police who arrest Selena Gomez. In a plot twist, the video ends zooming out from the preceding events, showing the remaining two people happily cuddling on a couch watching a film called Hands to Myself in which they starred. The music video's release aided a 46% gain of 180,000 Twitter mentions for her in the week ending December 27, 2015, according to Next Big Sound. It was well received by critics too. The music video also gained 2 million views in the first 24 hours on Vevo. Now this is a hot Selena Gomez music video I've ever seen. Now then, let's talk about my comment on the latest Selena Gomez music video.


The first music video comment I talked about is where Selena Gomez gets to show her butt in the music video. Look at her butt. Man, is it me or Selena Gomez's butt looks hot in this video? Man, it's nice to show her butt in the music video. That's because I grew up with people's butts like her butt. Man, I love people's butts. It's too bad it's inappropriate. Lol. At least people's butts will be my nostalgia though. Let's continue.


Another comment I do like is that Selena Gomez is hot in the music video. Yes, she is hot. Especially her butt and her breasts. Her breasts and her butt is the reason why she's hot. That's why she's hot. It's nice that Selena Gomez is hot in the music video. It's too bad sex selling music does not represent the selling music. Especially when something like Selena Gomez is hot. It was a really cool music video. Let's hope this one reaches 100 million views again on Vevo.

What do you think? Do you like the hottest Selena Gomez music video right now? Do you think Selena Gomez is hot in her Hands To Myself music video? Do you think Selena Gomez feels sexy in the music video especially showing off her body parts like her butt? Do you like showing Christopher Mason in the music video? Sound off below!

David Bowie Dies At 69

Hey guys, we got some sad news.

David Bowie, the barrier-breaking British rock tansformative musican and multi-dimensional artist and actor, has died at the age of 69, just days after releasing a critically acclaimed album on his birthday after an 18-month battle with cancer.


A statement posted on his Facebook page and confirmed by his publicist, Steve Martin, said Bowie died peacefully, "surrounded by his family after a courageous 18 month battle with cancer."

He is known to release a hit song, Space Oddity in 1969. In the early 1970s, David Bowie was an icon of glam rock, wearing androgynous clothing and eye makeup, with chopped, bright-red hair. He is known for creating alter egos such as Ziggy Stardust and he said that character defined him in many ways to some fans.

During his initial rise in the 1970s, he produced an astonishing range of work, from cosmic folk (Space Oddity) and glam rock (Ziggy Stardust) to blue-eyed soul (Young Americans) and electronic experiments with Brian Eno (Heroes). He followed that with the flamboyant Hunky Dory in 1972, which included Changes, a single that defined the coming decade for Bowie, reaching No. 66 on the U.S. pop chart.

Also in 1972 saw the debut of The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, a concept album that fully ignited a cult following responding to its provocative rock and the glittery alien garb the band wore onstage.

In 1976, he performed his first major role as an actor, as the alien visitor in Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth. Later in 1976, he released Station to Station, which included the top 10 single Golden Years. He relocated to Berlin and began working with Eno on a trilogy of albums (Low, Heroes and Lodger) that often featured brooding electronics.

After spending the 1970s as a groundbreaking rocker, his stardom hit new heights in 1983 when he appeared on the cover of Time magazine with the worldwide success of Let's Dance, a modern dance-music collection produced by Nile Rodgers, with lead guitar from Stevie Ray Vaughan. In 1985, after David Bowie reached a broad mainstream audience in1983 thanks to Let's Dance, he recorded and filmed a duet with Mick Jagger on a new version of Martha and the Vandellas' Dancing in the Street, in support of Live Aid. The remainder of the 1980s were surprisingly fallow for David Bowie. He formed a band called Tin Machine in 1989 and released two albums. In the 1990s, David Bowie appeared ready to experiment outside the mainstream again and released a series of albums as diverse as those from the 1970s, including Earthling, which dabbled in new-generation electronic dance music.

In 1992, he appeared in the David Lynch prequel Twin Peaks — Fire Walk With Me. He married supermodel Iman the same year. In 2002, he reunited with Visconti to record Heathen and his songs (as performed by Seu Jorge) were part of the soundtrack to the 2004 Wes Anderson film The Life Aquatic With Steve Zissou.

After surgery in 2004 for a blocked artery, David Bowie seemed to disappear. His last live appearance was a performance of Changes at a charity benefit in 2006.

Then in 2013, David Bowie came out with a new album, The Next Day, which he had begun working on in 2011.

"Because of the secrecy around 'The Next Day,' it sounded like I was out of work for two years. I couldn't mention it," Tony Visconti, his longtime producer, said just before the new album was released.

By contrast, "★" was recorded at light speed, in three sessions that took place in January, February and March 2015. On Friday, his birthday, David Bowie released an album, Blackstar, that he made in collaboration with a quintet of jazz musicians. The surreal music video for one song on the album, Lazarus, is quintessential David Bowie: It features a dead astronaut, creepy figures, strange religious overtones and David Bowie singing — at first, blindfolded. According to NPR, the review for David Bowie's 'Blackstar' Is Adventurous To The End.

David Bowie's songs were anthems for generations of fans who felt alienated or different. As many of them noted on social media after news of his death, the starts look very different today. David Bowie was just 69 years old.


Wow, I was shocked. Well, come to think of it. I never heard of David Bowie though. I was born after David Bowie scored a big number of hits like Changes. So I'll check out his music one time. But still, it's sad that David Bowie died Sunday after an 18-month battle with cancer confirmed to The Times by Bill Zysblat, his business manager of 34 years.

Of course, David Bowie isn't the only musician who died. Aliyah killed in a car crash in 2001 nearly 15 years ago. Then a year later, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes of TLC died in 2002. Micheal Jackson died at the ago of 50 in 2009 about 7 years ago and Whitney Huston died at the age of 48 almost 4 years ago back in 2012. Blame death causes these days.

Anyway, rest in peace David Bowie.

R.I.P.

Fall Out Boy's Demi Lovato Version Of Irresistible Music Video Is Inspired By NSync's It's Gonna Be Me Music Video

Remember NSync's It's Gotta Be Me music video from 2000? If not, go check it out on Vevo your YouTube. You will love it. Nostalgia!


Anyway, Fall Out Boy's latest single, Irresistible, is back with its third video. Following the standard release in the UK last year, there's Demi Lovato version of Irresistible.

By the way, have you check out Demi Lovato's Confident music video? It was awesome. I love how Demi Lovato fights a hot woman that shows her sexy belly button. In addition, she gets to show her butt and her breasts while she performs a women fight. Man, does she look hot? Go to YouTube and watch the music video, you might love it.


OK, back to Demi Lovato featured on Fall Out Boy's Irresistible music video. It appears that Fall Out Boy's third music video have since added Demi Lovato in the mix. She appeared in the new music video featuring Doug The Pug a few months ago, but now the group has another official music video.

The new Demi Lovato version of Irresistible music video takes us back in time to the year 2000, the final year in the 20th century, when boy bands like Backstreet Boys ruled the airwaves. Everyone remembers NSync and their toys-brought-to-life video for It's Gonna Be Me. Well now we have an updated version thanks to Fall Out Boy and Demi Lovato. The four band members get makeovers into action figures while Demi Lovato wanders the store with none other than Joey Fatone. Chris Kirkpatrick also makes a cameo, finding his own doll on the conveyer belt at the start of the clip. It's a fun music video that will likely be a bit of a flashback for everyone that was into pop music at the turn of the century. So please check out the music video on YouTube/Vevo. You might love it.


Also, you may want to revisit NSync's It's Gonna Be now, too on YouTube/Vevo.

In announcing the video on Facebook, Fall Out Boy shared the following message:

remember in the 90’s that one boy band- the biggest of them all- *NSYNCwas omnipresent. i think they could have made any throw away video and it would’ve worked because the songs were just that big. as an outsider looking in at the culture the NSYNC videos often seemed artistic and cinematic- every thing i had loved about all those videos i had taped on vhs (years before DVR or youtube was a thing). i was looking back at the video for “its gonna be me” — where they come to life as dolls-and we thought was there an analog to this story? like somewhere in that same store was there a dollar bin full of toy that no one really wanted? that would band together like the misfit, offbrand little outsiders they were. the toys no one ever wanted come to life. where would our band have fit in that story? we called up Wayne Isham, the director who did the original video (as well as some of our other favorite Mötley Crüe and Metallica videos), and pitched ideas back and forth… before long we came with the treatment- and were lucky enough to get a few cameos from the original source wink emoticon as well as our partner in crime on the song Demi Lovato.

i know you don’t have a vhs tape (probably, though there is something about all the screenshots and memes made from our videos that feels pretty close to a modern version of that vhs tape wink emoticon ) to record this. but i hope this video hits you in the same way- that you know we wanted to create something special for everyone that has ever loved an offbrand dollar bin toy, or has felt like one…

believe it or not we still believe in the magic of making these things- thank you for being a part of that with us.


Boy, I really liked how Fall Out Boy and Demi Lovato reworked the track later in 2015. I watched the music video and I loved it. It was a nice throwback to pop music from 2000-2005. 2000-2005 is where pop music like Britney Spears ruled the airwaves, traditional animation like The Emperor's New Groove already went downhill because people like kids don't seem to care for traditional animation like Atlantis: The Lost Empire and prefer CGI like Shrek and Finding Nemo, Disney has gone way downhill between 2000 and 2005 by putting in movies that ruined 2000-2005 Disney like Dinosaur and Chicken Little. 2000-2005 is also the era of video games like PlayStation 2 and Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. Not to mention great mainstream music from 2000-2005 like Linkin Park and Avril Lavigne as well as music videos from 2000-2005 that uses 1999 music videos from 1999 like Most Girls and Don't Cha. Plus, we have It's Gonna Be Me music video with Justin Timberlake from 2000 and 2005 introduced Fall Out Boy and Sugar, We're Goin Down. Yep, I love 2000-2005. It's too bad 2000-2005 is over. Oh well. That's life. At least it's better than what we have today like Justin Bieber.

So what to you think? Do you like the music video? Are you happy to see Demi Lovato in the new Fall Out Boy music video? What do you think of former NSync members, Joey Fatone and Chris Kirkpatrick, making cameo appearances in the latest music video? Do you think this music video reminds you of NSync's It's Gonna Be Me video from 2000? Sound off below!

Carrie Underwood Married The Next Best Thing To Garth Brooks

Hello everyone. Now that Carrie Underwood is a bigger star than Kelly Clarkson according to Ryan Seacrest, the host of American Idol, which discovered both singers and them into megastars, there are some really exciting new about this.

Carrie Underwood is apparently wanted to marry a country legend Garth Brooks when she was younger, and looks like she got pretty close with husband Mike Fisher.

The 32-year-old pop superstar has posted a video on Instagram on January 3 showing her (real) husband, Mike Fisher, belting out Garth Brooks’s hit country single, The River, noting that perhaps a duet would be in order.


The NHL player actually does pretty well with his vocals, proving he’s more than just a Nashville Predator – he’s got pipes. The country singer has used the hashtag #IAlwaysWantedToMarryGarth, and it seems she’s got the next best thing.

The pop singer is back home with her hubby and son Isaiah after she performed an epic medley of hits at Dick Clark’s New Years Rockin’ Eve on December 31 featuring performances of her and other pop artists like Demi Lovato and One Direction, just the ball dropped in Times Square. The artist sang her most recent releases, Smoke Break and Hearbeat, before breaking into what she called a “fan favorite,” Before He Cheats.” Fans packed into the iconic New York district went wild for the superstar pop singer’s performance and were happy to ring in the new year with her.

In addition, Carrie Underwood’s Storyteller Tour is slated to launch this year beginning in Jacksonville, Florida on January 30 and wrapping up in Ontario, Canada on May 30. The singer recently added a couple of additional international dates during the C2C Festival to her tour in March, now hitting Stolkholm, Sweden and Oslo, Norway.

Wow, with Carrie Underwood is revealing husband Mike Fisher’s hidden talent, I bet she secretly filmed him in their vehicle singing along to Garth Brooks’s The River and posted the video to Instagram yesterday. The caption read, “Duet coming soon.”


Could this be a Carrie Underwood/Garth Brooks collabo this year? If it does, then this will be Carrie Underwood’s 2016 single in conjunction with Garth Brooks. Wait until MTV gets to show this. If not, would a 2016 Carrie Underwood single represents Mike Fisher duet single? I hope so. For your information, Taylor Swift isn’t the only pop superstar that crossed over from country to mainstream. It was Carrie Underwood who crossed over from country to mainstream thanks to American Idol back in 2005 and yet Taylor Swift was chosen. Carrie Underwood is not a country singer she’s a pop singer and yet Taylor Swift does. Now that Taylor Swift belongs to the pop realm where she belongs, it’s time for Carrie Underwood to follow Taylor Swift’s footsteps allowing Carrie Underwood to be a crossover singer for both pop and country at the same time. I want this to happen. Maybe for the sixth album, Carrie Underwood can finally break the country mold and join the pop realm with her first pop album that will stay true to her country albums. That would be nice. Especially as a future side-project. Maybe one day, Carrie Underwood will be working on a pop album as a side-project.

Anyway, what you think about Carrie Underwood performing a duet with Garth Brooks for the 2016 country single or her husband Mike Fisher if can't?

Shakira's New Single, Try Everything, Will Ring In The New Year In Zootopia Trailer

Hey everybody, I just to tell you something.


On December 31, Walt Disney Animation Studios has released a brand new trailer for Zootopia. In this trailer, there is a mash up of new scenes, complimented with a brand new song Try Everything, written by singer-songwriter Sia and songwriting duo Stargate and performed by Grammy winner Shakira. Check out the new trailer and hear the song by clicking the link below.


In addition to hearing Shakira's Try Everything in the trailer, Shakira also lends her voice to the upcoming Disney movie. Not only does she play a character in the film, she also recorded a song for the soundtrack. A sneak peak of the tune is now available in the latest movie trailer.


Now, as you may know that Zootopia is a movie that is about an ambitious rabbit cop (voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin) who must team up with a con artist fox (voiced by Jason Bateman) to solve a mystery. As Shakira will be releasing Try Everything on January 8, which is this Friday, she will voice a Zootopia's biggest pop star named Gazelle. She's described as a "socially conscious celebrity with equal parts talent and heart."

Since Shakira's Try Everything will be available on January 8, the Sia co-written single will arrive this Friday. Awesome. I'm really excited for Try Everything.

Zootopia will be in theaters on March 4 and the movie is directed by Byron Howard (who previously co-directed Bolt and Tangled) and Rich Moore (the director of Wreck-It Ralph).


Man, I'm really loving the inclusion of Shakira's Try Everything in the Zootopia trailer. This makes me why I listen to Shakira. Shakira has been around in the music business for nearly 2 decades and her first crossover pop music has arrived in 2001 which is apparently 15 years ago. This is why Shakira is hot. Look at her butt and her belly button. She has a nice butt and a sexy belly button. When the first 2016 single came out this weekend, it will probably have a music video soon. I can't wait.

What do you think of this trailer?

Also, what do you think about Shakira's Try Everything heard in the Zootopia trailer? Are you excited to hear Sharkia's Try Everything coming on ITunes this weekend? Sound off!

Taylor Swift's Crush Who Inspired Teardrops On My Guitar Video Arrested For Child Abuse

Hey there, Swifties. Remember Teardrops On My Guitar from 2007? Well then, we've got some bad news.


It seems that Andrew Hardwick, the man who inspired Taylor Swift's Teardrops On My Guitar, was arrested for alleged child abuse in Hendersonville, Tennessee, on Saturday, according to authorities. Ouch. That's gotta hurt. Andrew Hardwick, arrested for alleged child abuse the day after Christmas? Uh-oh. This isn't good.

Hendersonville Police said they charged three people including Andrew Hardwick, 27, Christopher Hardwick, 34, and Joni Hardwick, 44, after a 3-year-old girl suffered severe bruising and lacerations on her head and a concussion. Detective Sgt. Jim Vaughn told PEOPLE she was airlifted to Monroe Carell Jr. Children's Hospital and has since been released.

Police responded to call at a home in Hendersonville shortly before 10pm on December 26. According to affidavits obtained by PEOPLE, the victims' mother Amber Hardwick said her girls were with Andrew Harkwick on another floor before her 5-year-old daughter came downstairs and explained that he hit her. The older child also told officers Andrew Hardwick struck her in the face, but she did not require medical attention, police said.

Christopher Hardwick, Andrew Hardwick's half-brother, told authorities he saw Andrew Hardwick strike the 3-year-old girld in the face, resulting in the injuries, the affidavits reveal. Police said Christopher Hardwick claimed that he and Andrew Hardwick consumed a large amount of alchohol in the hours leading up to the incident.

Officers claimed Christopher Hardwick's behavior was "extemely belligerent" and he appeared intoxicated as he approached police holding the 3-year-old girl. He is accused of shoving and pushing an officer when they tried to calm him and appearing prone to fight when an officer attempted to take the child. Joni Hardwick put up a fight inside the house, shoving one officer and kicking another in the chest, police said.

Andrew Hardwick was charged with aggravated child abuse and child abbuse.His bail was set at $100,000 and he is scheduled to appear in court on February 10, 2016.

Joni Hardwick, whose relation to the victim is not clear, face simple assault on an officer and resisting arrest charges. She was released under 1 thousand dollars bond and is set to appear in court on February 8, 2016.

Christopher Hardwick was cited for assult and disorderly conduct and will appear before a judge on January 25, 2016.


I'm shocked. Poor Andrew Hardwick. He will have to go to jail in February as he charged for child abuse. Yeah, blame Taylor Swift writing songs about boys and pop music for screwing up Taylor Swift's career after 2006 and her crossover with other genres like country at the same time. But that's for another day.

Anyway, what are your thoughts on why Andrew Hardwick was charged for abusing a 3-year-old child?

2016 Will Be A Big Year For Taylor Swift

I hope you enjoy celebrating the New Year's last night.

As you may know that yesterday, Taylor Swift has posted a nitty gritty still of herself on Instagram Wednesday to tease her new video for Out Of The Woods which premiered on ABC's Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve With Ryan Seacrest with performances like Carrie Underwood.

Here's the image of the teaser's Twitter tweet below which is a close-up of the late 2000s/early 2010s singer covered in mud with matted hair in her eyes and a snarl on her lips.


"Are we out of the woods yet?" reads of caption. Judging by the picture, the idea of being stuck in the "woods" will be treated quite literally in the video.

New Year's Rockin' Eve has premiered on New Year's Eve at 8pm last night but there has been no confirmation yet of what time the video will premiere or of the singer herself will make an appearance to introduce it. Out Of The Woods, which was co-written with Jack Antonoff, will be Taylor Swift's sixth single from her smash album 1989, following Shake It Off, Blank Space, Style, Bad Blood, and Wildest Dreams.


I'm really loving the picture of the teaser for Out Of The Woods. I've always wanted Taylor Swift to make an Out Of The Woods music video last year and now it's a dream come true. I'm definitely gonna see this music video later on.

Let's hope Out of The Woods will be the next big single from 1989. Probably not. Despite all 5 1989 singles like Bad Blood are number 1 hits, this one will flop big time. Nobody like kids gets to hear deep singles/realistic singles on radio and the only way is fans. That's fine. Especially for Out Of The Woods being a fan-favorite Taylor Swift song that gets to be a single. I personally think that Taylor Swift needs to bring back singles that missed the number 1 peaks. They haven't do that since Red and Out The Woods would be perfect for breaking the number 1 Taylor Swift singles mold. That way, the song will underperform at the Billboard chart. I'm sure it will do fine. After all, it's just Out Of The Woods. Duh.

So instead of Out Of The Woods, Taylor Swift will have to move on to her tenth anniversary of her early 2006 music as well as her first singles collection compilation album for summer 2016. Since 1989 was released 1 year ago, it looks like Out Of The Woods will be skipped and moved on to her 2016 music for the tenth anniversary greatest hits album. That would be a cool plan. Especially now that Taylor Swift a is a pop superstar allowing all her music gets to be pop songs just in time for the first compilation album.

So maybe after 1989 era, who knows. Then maybe Taylor Swift will team up with MTV so MTV gets to air a block of Taylor Swift music videos on Saturday mornings or afternoons as well as having all Taylor Swift songs gets to be played on pop radio including her singles for special airplays like Red or Highway Don't Care. So this will be perfect for Taylor Swift's 10th anniversary in 2016. Make it happen.
