The Grammy’s took place last night, but a certain Chris Brown was nowhere to be seen. Rihanna has just lifted the ban that was given to Brown due to the events, which conspired 2 years ago around this time. The young singer was up for 3 awards at last night’s show, but failed to win any. However like many stars last night, Breezy wasn’t the only one to be disappointed. I’m not going to say anything else about the Grammy’s now as I feel I wasted 3 hours of my life in the early hours of the morning.

Who remembers the Va Va Voom advert from the early 00′s? Ever since watching that advert I have been using and abusing my favourite French phrase from it ‘je ne sais quoi’. Actually it’s probably the only Français phrase I know as I studied German in school. Yes Ich kann ein bisschen Deutsch sprechen. I don’t honestly remember any of the other Renault Clio adverts apart from the ones that featured living Arsenal legend & God-like footballer, Thierry Henry. Can you tell he’s my favourite footballer of all time from that sentence? If not I can go crazy with the superlatives. They’ve brought him back for this new campaign featuring Va Va Voom queens, Dita Von Teese and Rihanna. More on the reverse.

I watched the Nicki Minaj documentary on MTV last week. If you haven’t already I would suggest you do regardless of whether you are or aren’t a Barb or Ken Barb. The documentary is called ‘My Time Is Now’ and was first mentioned on the site here by DJB. You can watch the documentary on MTV as repeats are still being aired. The reason I say watch it whether you are or aren’t a fan is because of the way Nicki comes across.

Music News Monday is fast becoming the most tedious post I have to write but at the same time I feel its essential to continue keeping you all up-to-date with the goings on in the music world. This week I have pieces on Lady Gaga, Teena Marie, Polow Da Don, Willow Smith, Chris Brown and Rihanna. Check the full scoop on the flipside.

2010 has come and gone and as the previous year drew to a close a whole host of people made lists of their favourites/Top 10’s from the year be it in music, TV or film. I personally find it to hard write top 10 lists so I thought I’d take the idea and put a different spin on it. Instead of listing my favourite songs I will highlight a few that caught my attention for one reason or another. 2010 has seen growth and maturity materialise in me and this has allowed me to appreciate things I never before would have done including music. Diversity is the keyword of 2010 in terms of where I’m at with music. The story continues after the cut.

2010 was a great year for many artists. Some new and some old. From Lady Gaga to Justin Bieber, this year was definitely dominated by Pop music. Some artists who were more renowned for other genres were now moving into the pop genre to great success. You only have to look at Usher for example to see how well the switch could work for an artist.
