Nick's 2016 HALO Awards Show Is Coming

On November 27, Nickelodeon will have Nick Cannon set to host the 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards. That’s right, Nick Cannon will be hosting this year’s 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards again. Oh boy. It's Nick Cannon hosting the 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards.


Anyway, as a host, creator and executive producer of the 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards, Nick Cannon will tack the stage to honor 4 teens who have been making a difference in their communities and changing the world by “Helping And Leading Others”, otherwise known as HALO.

Anyway, the one-hour musical event will feature special performances by Jason Derulo, Hailee Steinfeld, Alessia Cara, Daya and JoJo Siwa, and appearances by Jake Miller and Jacob Whitesides.

Now then, here’s what Nickelodeon has to say about this. Shall we?

“The 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards honorees are truly outstanding role models for this young generation and I can’t wait to celebrate them at this one-of-a-kind concert event,” Cannon says in a press release.

“The passion and commitment of these four teens have enabled them to bring about social change, helping thousands of kids around the world and inspiring countless others,” he continues. “That’s what HALO is all about.”

Thanks, Nick. So, be sure to tune in to the 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards November 27 at 7pm across Nickelodeon, TeenNick and NickToons. But wait, that’s not all.


It also appears that Alessia Cara was a guest host at Teen Nick’s 7th season premiere on September 30 at 9pm and JoJo Siwa was also makes a special guest on October 28th’s TeenNick Top 10 at 9pm. Both artists will be performed at the 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards. I would say that why is there a pop star born in 2003? How about no. Anyway, I’m really excited to see Alessia Cara at the 2016 Nickelodeon HALO Awards because Alessia Cara is hot. I hope she gets to perform her single, Scars To Your Beautiful. She perform this single at the 9/30 TeenNick Top 10 premiere. Also, JoJo Siwa will also perform too. Can't wait for that.

What do you think of the upcoming Nickelodeon HALO Awards?

Now then, what do I think about this year's MTV EMAs? It's great to see Green Day and Red Hot Chili Peppersgets a rock nomination. Too bad Garbage didn't make the cut. Boo! At least it's nice to see Bruno Mars performing at the EMAs where he performs his 2016 single, 24K Magic. By the way, 24K Magic will be Bruno Mars's lead single off of his upcoming third album with the same name which is coming out on November 18. This will be a pretty good fit. Don't you think? I hope so.

What say you?

Lady Gaga Has A New Album Out Called Joanne

Hey guys, I’m really sorry for not blogging lately. I’m really sorry for the lack of new blogging updates on this blog. Just a reminder. I will promise to write new music blogs at the end of this year. Anyway…


Head’s up because Lady Gaga has launched a new album on October 21. It’s called Joanne. Joanne is Lady Gaga’s fifth album. Perfect Illusion was released as the album's lead single on September 9, 2016, going number one in France and Spain, while reaching the top 20 in more than ten countries including Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The second single is A-Yo.

The music video for Perfect Illusion is directed by Ruth Hogben and Andrea Gelardin and the music video was released on September 20, 2016, during the season two premiere of Scream Queens on Fox.


Now then, as you may know that Lady Gaga is actually a small pop star despite her 3 albums reached number 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart in the 2010s. Lady Gaga used to be pretty big during 2008-2011. But then, she started to go downhill in 2013. Although Applause performed well and Artpop reached number 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart, Artpop is not a huge success Lady Gaga hoped for. But anyway, Joanna is Lady Gaga’s fourth album although Wikipedia list Joanne as her fifth album. That’s because The Fame Monster and Cheek To Cheek starring Tony Bennett from 2009 and 2014 respectively are both side projects. Now then, although Lady Gaga was referred to as a big name celebrity, Lady Gaga is still a small pop singer as I mentioned earlier. Taylor Swift is a big pop star. Ditto something like Rihanna and Katy Perry. Not Lady Gaga because Lady Gaga will remain a small pop star. We can all blame poor management for screwing up Artpop. Let’s continue.

Here’s the tracklist for Joanne.
1. Diamond Heart
2. A-Yo
3. Joanne
4. John Wayne
5. Dancin' in Circles
6. Perfect Illusion
7. Million Reasons
8. Sinner's Prayer
9. Come to Mama
10. Hey Girl (featuring Florence Welch)
11. Angel Down

There you go that’s the tracklist for Joanne. Oh yeah, the album is out now. So go pick it up if you like Lady Gaga. But I would suggest that the album will sell poorly because US album sales are still declining. So I suggest streaming the whole album on Spotify. Trust me, you might like this one.

Carrie Underwood's New Video Comes Out Of Her Laundry

Hey guys, just to let you know that Carrie Underwood has released her next music video for her fourth single off of Storyteller. It's called Dirty Laundry and it was written by Zac Crowell, Ashley Gorley and Hillary Lindsey. Dirty Laundry was shipped to country radio on August 22 and made its offical impact on September 5.


The teaser for the music video was revealed on October 11 as her fans are getting amped up with a 20-second clip of her forthcoming Dirty Laundry music video. The teaser features the hot Oklahoma chick in a shimmery jacket that recalls Michael Jackson. A snake slithers through a man’s dress shirt and a tube of lipstick sit perched in the black and white clip. A cheating metaphor if we’ve ever seen one, the pop singer puts her finger to her lips as if telling us all a secret. The full Dirty Laundry video premieres on Entertainment Tonight on Wednesday, October 12 and on Vevo and YouTube a day later as soon as she wraps her tour week in Canada. The music video is directed by Shane Drake, who also direct other music videos for other singles like Here's To Never Growing Up and Highway Don't Care.

Now then, here's what radio has to say about this.

Radio: Carrie Underwood has premiered the music video for her new single “Dirty Laundry.”

“I really connected with [director] Shane’s [C. Drake ] artistic vision for the video,” said Underwood in a statement. “It’s all about emotion and that moment when a woman has finally reached that point, after the heartache, of being done with a relationship.”

“Shane had the idea to include some beautiful animals that represent the parallels between human and animal behavior and instincts, which look great interwoven with visuals of emotional women and men,” she continued. “It gave us a way to portray one of my songs in a way we’ve never done before.”

“‘Dirty Laundry’ is about a cheating man—the girl in the story kind of talks about stringing up his laundry, getting rid of his laundry, that’s how she finds out he’s been cheating on her,” Underwood tells ET from the video set. “That’s not a new story, you know, lipstick on your collar kind of story, but it’s just done in a such a nonchalant way. It’s not too angry, it’s not, ‘I’m gonna get revenge!’ It’s not ‘Before He Cheats,’ it’s more like, ‘You know what? I’m over it, I don’t care, I’m done.'”

Check out Underwood’s powerful black and white video below.


Thanks, Radio. When I hear this pop music video, I swear that this pop song rely on Carrie Underwood in a black and white music video. Think Beyonce, Selena Gomez or Fifth Harmony for this. What I like about this video is that Carrie Underwood gets to show her butt at the beginning. Man, check out that nice butt Carrie Underwood has shown. No matter Carrie Underwood has a butt. It's not a repeat of Before He Cheats. There's also a lion which appeared during Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams music video. There's also a horse in which appeared in sevral music videos including Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Ellie Goulding. So I would love ot see Carrie Underwood making a pop album sometime next year. That way, pop music will get to know about Carrie Underwood, even if Carrie Underwood is not a pop artist. She is like a Nashville Britney Spears or Beyonce.

Anyway, here's the Vevo link for Dirty Laundry video. Trust me, you might like this one.

A New Little Mix Album Has Announced

That's right, folks. A new Little Mix album is coming on November 18. The same day Pokemon Sun and Moon are coming out for Nintendo 3DS. It's called Glory Days and I'm really excited for Little Mix announcing their upcoming fourth album will be out very, very soon.


Taking to social media, as one typically does these days, Little Mix, a four-piece British pop group that makes up of members Perrie Edwards, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, and Leigh-Anne Pinnock, revealed that Glory Days will be out worldwide on November 18, 2016. For thouse of you too lazy to glande at a calendar, that date is just about a month away. Sounds exciting. Now then, here's what Little Mix has to say about this.

… And the party just doesn’t stop! We’ve got something AMAZING to tell you lovely lot! #LM4EraStartsNOW #GloryDays the girls x pic.twitter.com/4bVbEYqGmR

— Little Mix (@LittleMix) October 13, 2016

In addition, the album's first single will be Shout Out To My Ex and will be available for purchase/streaming when the album pre-order goes live on October 14. That's 2 days ago. In addition, "Shout Out" is about a break up with Perrie Edwards's ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik. You better watch out, Zayn because Perrie is coming to get you. Oh yeah, here's the cover for Glory Days.


Also, a deluxe edition will feature a Get Weird Tour concert film will also be released. But wait, that's not all. Little Mix will perform Shout Out To My Ex at X Factor and Perrie Edwards will get revenge over Zayn Malik. But, there is an even bigger announcement.


Little Mix will be teaming up with Ariana Grande and both pop stars were going on tour together starting in February 2017. Nice, talk about a great teamwork. Let's hope Little Mix and Ariana Grande will be super happy to each other for next year's tour. Plus, they're both small pop stars. So both pop stars works well with a music video, on tv, and on the internet like Vevo. Screw radio. Music videos, streaming music and internet ftw.

What do you think? Are you excited for Glory Days on November 18? Are you excited for the upcoming album's lead single? Sound off below!
