Ring in the New Year with Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' Announcement!

Hey, y'all! Sorry I haven't posted in a while, been pretty lazy. Hope you all had a wonderful holiday and a Happy New Year, and I hope it was made even BETTER by seeing Lady Gaga's latest announcement about her new album, 'Born This Way!' At midnight EST she released the single release date, the album release date, AND a new picture from SHOWstudio, which could possibly be the album cover! The single for 'Born This Way' will be released on February 13, 2011 (on the day of the Grammy awards) and the album will be released on May 23, 2011. I don't know about you guys, but I CANNOT wait for 'Born This Way!' I am SO excited!

102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball Concert Review!

Sorry I forgot to write about this yesterday, but the 102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball was AMAZING! Although Bruno Mars was ill and didn't perform and I also missed Selena Gomez *sob,* it was SO fun. Since I won the tickets on Upfront Friday, I was in the TENTH ROW! I don't think I've ever been that close to the stage in a large venue before! We walked in during Travie McCoy's performance, and he was great. After that, there was (unfortunately I don't quite remember the order) DJ Pauly D from the 'Jersey Shore' (who is actually a surprisingly talented DJ), Far East Movement, Enrique Iglesias with a surprise appearance by Pitbull, B.o.B. who also sung later with Hayley Williams for their collaboration single, 'Airplanes' (with an adorable hug from the two at the end), and of course, KATY PERRY! I'm not a fan of Enrique Iglesias, but he put on an exciting performance. During his hit song, 'I Like It,' he (a la Justin Tranter, to me) told all the fans to come running forward towards the mosh pit. It was pretty crazy. I didn't go up there because I didn't want to get pummeled, but I had a lot of fun watching his set, and I loved the surprise cameo by Pitbull! It was quite a good time. Lastly, Katy Perry (the main reason I wanted to go), was AMAZING. She started off singing a Christmas-y version of 'Hot and Cold' while inside of a large golden present, then popped out wearing the cutest little snowman outfit! She then performed 'Teenage Dream,' 'E.T.' (which you may not know since it's not one of her hit singles, but it's a GREAT song), 'Firework,' 'California Gurls,' and a slightly new version of her first hit, 'I Kissed a Girl!' If you're living in Europe, hopefully, you'll get a chance to catch her on the California Dreams tour! Moving on to the last act...Luciana. You may not recognize her name, but she's all over the radio with her new song with Static Revenger, 'I Like That.' Don't get me wrong, I love chick rappers, but I'm sorry, this girl is awful. I never liked the song in the first place, and after she performed 'I Like That,' she performed her new single, 'I'm So Hot,' which basically just sounded like the previous song with different lyrics, talking all about how hot and sexy she is. Personally, I REALLY didn't like it. I sat down through the whole thing. Even NELLY was better. Overall, though, the 102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball was a really fun, great show, and I would go again in a heartbeat! Be sure to listen around late September to December 2011 for a chance to win tickets to Jingle Ball 2011!

Going to the 102.7 KIIS FM Jingle Ball!

Yes, after countless weeks of calling in OVER and OVER, I was FINALLY caller 102 on the way to school and I won two tickets to KIIS FM's JINGLE BALL! Although my mom got a ticket for talking to the woman on the phone while driving, I am still SUPER excited! I'll get to see performances by Katy Perry, Hayley Williams, Bruno Mars, B.o.B., Selena Gomez, and then...some other artists that I don't really care about. Hopefully I'll get a chance to see the Jingle Ball village when I go to pick my tickets up at will call! I can't wait to tell you all about it!
