Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj, may have released this song late in the summer, but it's still being considered one of this seasons anthems! Bang Bang is a pop song that features crazy vocals from Jessie and Ariana, and a killer rap verse from the one and only Nicki Minaj.

Personally, I think the song is great but I do not think that Ariana was able to keep up with Jessie J. The control Jessie has over her voice is out of this world, and her tone is incredible. Ariana did do a good job too, but I feel as though her verse got lost in between Jessie's and Nicki's verses

. What are your thoughts on the song?

Yesterday marked the three year anniversary of the death of the one and only Amy Winehouse.  Her legacy will forever live on through her music, and in the countless artists that she has inspired; one in particular, Dylan. That being said, above is his tribute cover of You Know I'm No Good by Amy Winehouse.

Rest in peace Amy.

Hey everyone! I know I've been MIA lately, but I've been so busy. I recently got back from vacation with my family in Canada. It was definitely interesting to say the least. Let's just say that after a 16 hour card ride round trip, walking 10 miles a day, evacuating a hotel from the 44th floor, and two fire alarms later, it's good to be back. That being said, I really did have a great time in Canada. It's one of my favorite places to visit and I'm sure I'll be returning at some point in the future. For now however, this was my last trip to Canada for the time being.

Of course we made our usual stops like Niagara Falls, Clifton Hill, and Lundy's Lane, but for the first time ever we went to Marineland. I don't know how we missed it every other time we went, but once I saw that you could feed beluga whales and deer it became a mandatory stop!

Overall, Canada was a blast. It's always nice to get a way for little. I'm excited to get back to blogging, and more importantly, to move to California next month. Stay tuned! I'll also be posting a blog soon regarding Dylan's performance at the Wells Fargo Center! How have you been spending your summer!?

So I know I've been away for a little bit, but I've been so busy with working on a bunch of other projects, getting ready for my move to California, and enjoying a little vacation in Canada (Blog on that coming soon). In the midst of all this, I recently spoke with a bunch of my friends from my eighth grade class, and we all decided to do a reunion! It was such a fun time and I really enjoyed seeing everyone.

It's so weird how six years ago we were all graduating eighth grade, nervous about going to high schools, and now we are all becoming mature adults following their own paths. I'm so glad that we did this, especially with moving next month. We hadn't all been together in such a long time so it was definitely a nostalgic experience. Through all the reminiscing and catching up, one thing was certain; everyone was happy. That's the most important thing, to be honest.

Of course we all went our own ways, and we all are following our own dreams, but at the end of the night it was clear that we were all doing well for ourselves, and that we were all happy. To the class of 2008, I wish you all the best and much continued success! Let's do this again sometime.
