Taylor Swift i Ed Sheeran predstavili spot za zajedničku pesmu

"Everything Has Changed" naziv je dueta Taylor Swift i Eda Sheerana koji je dobio i video priču. Doduše, oni se pojavljuju tek na kraju klipa, dok su glavne zvezde deca koja podsećaju na ove izvođače i koji postaju dobri prijatelji, baš kao Taylor i Ed u realnom životu. 

Ovo je, inače, četvrti singl sa hit albuma Swiftove - "Red".

Taylor Swift predstavila spot za "I Knew You Were Trouble"

Taylor Swift predstavila je video za aktuelni hit sa albuma "Red" - "I Knew You Were Trouble". Ovaj klip potpuno je drugačiji od njenih ostalih video uradaka jer Taylor više nije dobra devojčica. Ovoga puta možemo videti svađe, pesničenje i gomilu drugih mračnih momenata - bar za njene standarde. Da li je transformacija prošla uspešno - procenite sami!

MTV EMA 2012: Taylor Swift i Justin Bieber osvojili najviše nagrada, publika nezadovoljna

Nekada najgledaniji muzički spektakl u Evropi - dodela MTV evropskih muzičkih nagrada i ove godine doživelo je debakl. Naime, organizatori su i ovoga puta rešili da nastave sa tradicijom da priznanja uglavnom podele onima koji su bili prisutni na ceremoniji u Frankfurtu. Iako se nagrade navodno dodeljuju na osnovu glasova publike, najviše trofeja odnela je američka pevačica Taylor Swift koja je u Evropi gotovo anonomius i koja do sada na starom kontinentu nije imala niti jedan hit! Ona je osvojila nagradu za najboljeg ženskog izvođača (pored žive Rihanne, na primer!), najboljeg live izvođača (iako je njeno "živo" pevanje više puta kritikovano) i najbolji izgled (ovde, 'ajde, nemam zamerki). Na sve ovo publika je reagovala povremenim zvižducima. 

Iako važi za jednog od najuspešnijeg izvođača današnjice, publika je na svaki pomen imena Justina Biebera reagovala negodovoanjem. On je osvojio nagrade za najbolji World Stage nastup, najboljeg muškog i najboljeg pop izvođača. Titulu najbolja pesma odnela je Kanađanka Carly Rae Jepsen zahvaljujući hitu "Call Me Maybe".

Ipak, ove godine publika širom sveta imala je prilike da vidi vrlo kreativne i zanimljive nastupe počevši od same voditeljke Heidi Klum. Novi singl "Girl On Fire" predstavila je Alicia Keys, PSY je izveo popularni "Gangam Style" koji je dobio i nagradu za najbolji spot po odluci MTV panela, a svoje nove hitove su predstavili i Rita Ora, fun., Pitbull, No Doubt, The Killers i Muse. Publika kraj malih ekrana  imala je prilike da vidi i 20 sekundi nastupa Carly Rae Jepsen koji je prekinut zbog reklama. Ceremoniju dodele zatvorila je ona u čijem je znaku i protekao čitav događaj - Taylor Swift koja je u cirkuskoj atmosferi izvela singl "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together". 

Odata je i počast preminuloj Whitney Houston kojoj je posthumno dodeljena Global Icon nagrada. Ovu nagradu predstavila je njena velika obožavateljka Alicia Keys.

Poslušajte novi singl Taylor Swift

Popularna američka pevačica Taylor Swift objavila je novi singl pod nazivom "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" koji najavljuje njen četvrti studijski album "Red" (u prodaji od 22. oktobra). Pesma, koju je producirao Max Martin, već se nalazi na prvom mestu na iTunes-u gde je u ubedljivom vođstvu. Ono što je primetno jeste da se pevačica sve više udaljava od kantri zvuka, koji joj je i doneo popularnost, i ulazi u svet moderne pop muzike. Numeru možete poslušati ispod ovog posta, a ostaje da se vidi hoće li njena ogromna popularnost u Americi zahvatiti i ostatak sveta.

People's Choice Awards 2012: Katy Perry pobednik večeri / Katy Perry wins big

Iako je Katy Perry samo dva dana pred ceremoniju otkazala nastup, to je nije sprečilo da ove godine osvoji pet trofeja na People's Choice nagradama. Ona je osvojila nagrade za najboljeg ženskog izvođača, najbolju pesmu ("E.T."), najbolji spot ("Last Friday Night"), najboljeg tour headlinera, čak i nagradu za najbolje gostovanje u seriji ("How I Met Your Mother").

Na opšte iznenađenje, nagradu za najboljeg pop izvođača osvojila je Demi Lovato, koja je izvela njen aktuelni singl "Give Your Heart a Break".

U ostalim "žanrovskim" kategorijama nije bilo iznenađenja - Rihanna je osvojila nagradu za najboljeg R&B izvođača, Eminem za hip-hop, dok je Taylor Swift osvojila nagradu za najboljeg country izvođača. Što se ostalih značajnijih kategorija tiče, Lady Gaga je osvojila nagradu za najbolji album ("Born This Way"), Bruno Mars proglašen je najboljim muškim izvođačem, dok su Maroon 5 dobili nagradu za najbolji bend.

***

Although Katy Perry cancelled her apperiance only two days before the ceremony, it didn't stop her to win five trophies at this year's People's Choice Awards. She won awards for favorite female artists, favorite song ("E.T."), favorite video ("Last Friday Night"), favorite tour headliner, even the award for favorite TV guest star for her cameo in "How I Met Your Mother".

In a general surprise, Demi Lovato, who performed her latest single "Give Your Heart a Break", won favorite pop artist award.

There were no surprises in other genre fields - Rihanna won the award for favorite R&B artist, Eminem for hip-hop and Taylor Swift for country. As for the other significant awards, Lady Gaga won favorite album award ("Born This Way"), Bruno Mars got favorite male award, while Maroon 5 received favorite band trophy.

American Music Awards 2011: Najviše nagrada za Adele i Taylor Swift / Adele and Taylor Swift win most awards

Adele i Taylor Swift su najveći pobednici na ovogodišnjim American Music Awards, jer je svaka ponela po tri nagrade. Adele za najboljeg ženskog pop-rok izvođača, za najbolji pop-rok album ("21") i za najboljeg adult contemporary izvođača. Country zvezda, Taylor Swift, proglašena je za najboljeg izvođača godine, a dobila je nagrade i za najboljeg ženskog country izvođača, kao i za najbolji country album ("Speak Now").

Iza njih je Nicki Minaj koja je pokupila glavne nagrade u rap/hip-hop kategoriji - najbolji rap/hip-hop izvođač i najbolji rap/hip-hop album ("Pink Friday").

Nicki je bila veoma simpatična jer je osim čudnog outfita (blago rečeno), nosila i štikle u kojima je jedva mogla da hoda (neki kažu da je bila pijana :D). Ipak, to je nije sprečilo da otvori dodelu zanimljivim nastupom.

Prošle večeri videli smo mnogo nastupa, ali najveći utisak (sudeći po pozicijama na itunesu) ostavio je medley Jennifer Lopez, "Until It Beats No More/Papi/On the Floor". Vizuelno perfektan nastup i neverovatna energija ove 42-godišnjakinje doneli su joj stajaće ovacije.

Kompletnu litu dobitnika pogledajte ispod ovog posta.

Adele and Taylor Swift are big winners of this year's American Music Awards, each with three wins. Adele got awards for favorite pop/rock female artist, adult contemporary artist and pop/rock album for "21". Taylor Swift picked artist of the year award, along with favorite country female artist and favorite country album for "Speak Now".
Behind them is Nicki Minaj who won main trophies in rap/hip-hop category - best rap/hip-hop artist and best rap/hip-hop album ("Pink Friday").
Nicki was really cute. Beside weird outfit (to say at least) she wore heels she could barely walk in (some say she was drunk :D). Still, it didn't stop her to open the ceremony with a top performance.
We saw many performances last night, but the biggest impression (according to itunes chart positions) left Jennifer Lopez's medley of "Until It Beats No More/Papi/On the Floor". Visually perfect performance and incredible energy of this 42-year-old woman the crowd awarded with a standing ovation.

WATCH: Taylor Swift - The Story of Us (NEW VIDEO!)

Popularna američka country pop pevačica Taylor Swift objavila je spot za četvrti singl sa albuma "Speak Now" - "The Story of Us". U ovom simpatičnom spotu možemo videti pevačicu kako se vraća u školu, preciznije biblioteku, i igra devojku koju više zabavlja gomila knjiga nego ljubav. 

Spot je režirao Noble Jones koji je sarađivao sa grupom HIM, Michaelom Bubleom, Mary J. Blige i mnogim drugim.

Šta mislite o spotu? :)

***

A popular American country pop singer Taylor Swift has premiered a video for the 4th single from her album "Speak Now" - "The Story of Us". In this cute video we find the singer returning to school, library more precisely, playing a girl who rather loses herself in the stacks than in love.

The video is directed by Noble Jones who previously worked with  HIM, Michael Buble, Mary J. Blige and many others.

So, what do you think about the video?

Billboard Music Awards report!

Nakon četiri godine pauze, Billboard Music Awards se vraćaju na velika vrata. Veliki broj trenutno najpopularnijih muzičkih zvezda okupio se sinoć u Las Vegasu kako bi saznali koji su izvođači bili najuspešniji na Billboardovim listama prošle godine. Naravno, mnogi su priredili i spektakularne nastupe. No, jedno po jedno.

Show je otvorila Rihanna koja je pevala S&M. Njoj se na sceni pridružila Britney Spears na oduševljenje njenih fanova koji su nedeljama nagađali hoće li se njihova ljubimica pojaviti. Britney se kasnije pridružila i Nicki Minaj kako bi izvele deo remixa Till the World Ends.

Najviše nagrada odneli su Eminem i Justin Bieber (po 6). Eminem je, između ostalog, osvojio i nagrade za najboljeg izvođača, najboljeg muškog izvođača i najbolji album, dok je Bieber kući otišao sa nagradom fanova i nagradom za najboljeg novog izvođača, između ostalih.

Za njima nisu zaostale ni Rihanna i Taylor Swift. Rihanna je osvojila nagrade za najboljeg radio izvođača, kao i za najboljeg ženskog izvođača, dok je Swiftova proglašena za najboljeg Billboard Top 200 umetnika.

Zvezda večeri svakako je bila Beyonce koja je dobila Billboard Millenium nagradu, kao što smo već objavili, a izvela je i svoj aktuelni single Who Run the World (Girls). Tokom prihvatanja nagrade, njen rad preko video bima hvalili su muzički veterani kao što su Barbara Streisand, Stevie Wonder i Bono, ali i prva dama Amerike Michelle Obama.

U2 su postali dobitnici nagrade za najuspešniju turneju prošle godine 360 koja je nedavno postala i najuspešnija turneja svih vremena.

Kao što smo već rekli, nastupilo je mnogo izvođača koji su, verujemo, zadovoljili sve muzičke ukuse. Pored već pomenutih, nastupile su i zvezde country muzike Lady Antebellum i Keith Urban, zatim i pop zvezde Ke$ha i Tiao Cruz. Svoje pesme izveli su i One Republic, Cee-Lo Green, R&B diva Mary J. Blige nastupila je zajedno sa Lil Waynom, dok je Pitbull pevao svoj aktuelni hit Give Me Everything. Među izvođačima su bili i The Black Eyed Peas koji su izveli medley svojih najvećih hitova.

Sve u svemu, jedno zanimljivo veče, bez većih iznenađenja što se nagrada tiče i sa mnogo lepih i neobičnih nastupa.

Kompletan spisak nagrađenih možete pogledati ispod ovog posta.

During accaptance, Beyoncé was honored by musical veterans like Barbra Streisand, Bono and Stevie Wonder, as well as First Lady Michelle Obama, in a video montage.   

U2 won an award for the most successful tour last year 360 which eventually became the most successful tour of all time.
As we already said before, there were many performers and we beleive everyone found something for themselves.

Blige dueted with Lil Wayne, while Pitbull performed his latest hit Give Me Everything. The Black Eyed Peas also performed singing medly of their greatest hits.
