VMA's

So;
everyone is talking about the VMA's right no, but they are not talking about the music, the fashion, or the N'SYNC w reunion, no. They are talking about Miley Cyrus's performance.

 A little background. 
The Video Music Awards, or the VMA's are a anual award show in MTV. This year it took place in the Barclays Ceter on Sunday August 25th.

Lets start with the pre show. LOVED Ariana Grande's performance, this is because she has AMAZING vocals. Austin Mahone, you were alright.


Lady Gaga opened the show, it was the first time I heard aplause, it was alright, I think that she has really high standards, and I think she did a really good job. And I also LOVED her dress, this are the three i should say "outfits" that she wore:

If i'm not wrong, i believe that the next performance was Miley's, this pretty much sums up what I thought:

*Note: This wasn't directed to Miley, it was to Lady Gaga's Applause performance.

Here is a link to Miley's performance 

Sincerely I think that that is a really desperate act for attention. She is saying that she is showing the worlds who she really is, but I think that she is showing WAY too much of what she really is. Yes Lady Gaga and Katy Perry had over the top performances, but it’s a MADE UP character that suits them well, but I think that the Miley that we saw on the show was the real one. I didn’t watch her show while growing up, but the performance still disappointed me.
Moving on... My favorite performance was Justin Timberlake's. LOVED IT. Danced around in my room the whole performance. Also, the reunion was good, but for my opinion, it was WAY too short, I think that because the performance was buzzed a lot, my expectations were too high. But other than that, I loved it.

Makclemore's performance was really touching, specially in the part that Jennifer Hudson started singing, it was a pretty moment. 

Kanye's was, well, good.

Katy Perry's performance of Roar was well done, it was, also the first time that I heard this song. Critics are saying that it is wasy too similar to a song called Brave. Personally, I heard Katy's song first, and then Brave, but I much prefer Roar, not because i heard it first, but because I like her vocals much more.

So, those were my thoughts, I kind of was dissapointed that a 20 seconds stole the show completely, and i personally think thatthe Best Rock Performance Award should have been given DURING THE SHOW, NOT IN THE PRE-SHOW. But what can we do. MTV doesn't have the same glory that it had 20 years ago, and I don't really think that it is going to have, let's pray it gets better.

Let Me Introduce Myself

Well you can guess by the name of the blog I would like to introduce you to a little thing that i would like to call my life.

My name is Marisa, I'm your typical high school teenager that is obsessed with fashion, magazines, BOYS, movies, music, FOOD, especially lasagna, and of course, twitter and instagram.

I have travelled a lot for the short time span that  I have been in this little place most people like to call planet earth. 

I don't really know what I'm going to write in this blog...
Maybe something about my latest fashion cravings,
Maybe about the latest music that I'm replaying over and over in my head,
Maybe about that guy I like (but seriously, who would really like a teenager complaining about that boy she likes),
Maybe about that new food i just discovered that now I can't live whithout,
Maybe my latest trip to who knows where
Or maybe just about life in general.

Hopefully you are still reading this after all of the nonsense that I just wrote, and I am really grateful if you did.

So, I guess that's it,
just finished my first blog entry.
Let me finish with a beutiful quote by a person that I admire so much,
"I believe in pink. I believe that laughing is the best calorie burner. I believe in kissing, kissing a lot. I believe in being strong when everything seems to be going wrong. I believe that happy girls are the prettiest girls. I believe that tomorrow is another day and I believe in miracles."
Audrey Hepburn

Yours Truly;
