Joe Jonas: You're breaking my heart!

Stop it Joe Jonas, you're breaking my heart and I kinda like it but I'm still on the verge of tears. Recently, Joe Jonas has announced that he is going solo (exciting!). Along with the news of going solo comes the press; I give you Joe's first solo cover and solo story from Details magazine.

Let me just say: It's not him, it's me. Great article! Love where he's heading but I'm going through some type of denial stage. My man is grown and that's something that I have to deal with. I'm not sure if I want to change for him though. Yes, it's great he's an adult, I'm adult. I talk like an adult but I can't handle him talking like an adult and him doing an adult things. I do that! But now that I type this "aloud", it sounds that I want him to say young forever and I like little boys or something. I don't. But be honest, you have a Peter Pan fantasy thing too (Wendy Darling sure did).

I mean I just thought he would stay a little fun immature boy forever. Free of profanity, drinking, and that awful Alice Cullen. I liked those qualities about him. Good wholesome fun. I know it may not be realistic but I thought it was very honorable of him. These other things I at least expected from Zac Efron, who totally sounds like he could play Channing Tatum's cousin in Step Up 4. Just sayin' but I like it.

Interesting points:

- The article does a comparison of Joe and Justin Timberlake. Travel back in time with me you loyal *N SYNC fans even JoBro fans who only heard of *N SYNC, but didn't you always think that JC Chasez would have blown up more than Justin did? I did. JC definitely had more musicality that Justin did, I think. I was surprised that his solo project didn't jump off. I hope that Nick doesn't follow in that footsteps.

- Joe is an awesome cook. He's so quick on his feet. He was making something and forgot a key ingredient for it and improvised. I totally would have gone back to the store. I do that all the time by the way. I make 50 trips to the grocery store... everyday.

- He bar hops and goes clubbing like a regular 20 something. I find that the most off putting because I don't do that anymore. I think I'm a fifty year old in a 20 something year old body. That doesn't even hold truth anymore because I'm sure there's a lot of cougars getting their Friday nights on.... probably hanging out with Joe :(.

-He really likes that Alice Cullen (barf). I'm sure she's a nice girl but I just don't like that whole cast. Their socially awkward.

- And he's totally a lady killer. He totally gets it in. Whatever that in is because there is this whole blurry line now with the purity rings. Which I think was quite honorable and no one's business. But he talks about all his relationships and stuff and I'm still on Team Joe. Taylor Swift is bitter and she goes through dudes a lot. She is Joe's equivalent: a maneater. There's nothing wrong with that just move on with your life. Own up to it.

Anyways my biggest fear in this is that Joe would turn into a Jersey Shore guy. I mean first he's at a Calvin Klien fashion show with these dudes and next they are you know at Karma creeping or something. Who knows. It's like creeping Hollywood style.

We'll Joe, I still love you no matter what. We're just going through growing pains (we'll I am). There's always Nick ( still too young but legal, but young, still).

Crying Youtube Child meets Justin Bieber and I am Jealous!

No I don't have "Bieber Fever", but I am resentful. Everyday when I was her age I use to come home from Pre-school run to my den with the hopes that Joey Joe (Joey McIntyre) from New Kids on the Block would be there. I was sadly disappointed everyday. Dreams crushed everyday until my cousin got over her obsession with them. Or I got into something else, probably Eureka's Castle ( really dating myself, aren't I?).

However, the only thing I got to compensate my unlikely dreams was a New Kids on the Block pillow case which I ruined each night when I drooled on it. I never got a concert ticket or to meet them. I ended up getting a concert ticket last summer though (best childhood dream come true ever) but I had to pay for it myself. Thanks, Mom!

My point is my mother didn't give into my obsession and give me false hopelessness and Youtube didn't exist back then. Neither did the internet. I knew Joey Joe loved me back just as Justin Bieber loved this little girl back. He still does. Our love has been like 20 years strong. Justin Bieber isn't even 20 years old! My love trumps your 3 year old love!

What becomes of this little girl now? Will she always think that Justin Bieber is so accessible? Is she set up for failure? That's the problem with kids today. Things that they love are easily accessible. You can tweet Nick Jonas and have a chatroulette session with Paris Hilton. We use to write fan mail, through the actually postal service. Yes those things that you have to walk out to your mailbox to get.

So yes, I am resentful but one day I will meet you Joey Joe. One day. All seriousness, she was adorable. I am so jealous right now.

I would be kind of upset if I was her sister. I am kind of upset right now.

Grammy's in Review

The 52nd Annual Grammy's were on this past Sunday.I, personally, was confused because I thought it was also Superbowl Sunday. However common sense (along with a friend) got through to me and was like " Duh, you can't have Superbowl Sunday, Grammy night and Justin Timberlake's birthday all on the same day." Silly me.

So I sat and watched mostly of the show. Omitting of course Taylor Swift's performance. Best quote: " Taylor Swift has never met a note she liked."- Michael Buckley (@buckhollywood). So true. You can watch Buckhollywood's recap of the event on here , http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5CfwDf4suc (by the way one of my favorite youtube channel ever).

Back to the Grammy's and what I liked and just didn't plainly understand about them this year. The most common theme this year was "let's out do everyone and ourselves." When I mean everyone I mean Lady Gaga. Let's be honest, she in nature is over the top and I believe everyone got the memo and was like we need to take this chick down!

Lady Gaga. The performance was weird (like her) but tamed and appropriate compared to everyone elses. I did enjoy it, well the end of it more so with Elton John. What I didn't understand was why Elijah Kelley (aka Seaweed Stubbs from Hairspray-2007) was the weird MC. Do they know each other? What was the point? And why wasn't he singing because he is a really good singer. So that was... weird.

Beyonce. I was able to catch a little bit of the 60 minutes interview with her before the show because I was hoping that it was on earlier (nope). She was quite adorable when she was a little girl and she seems very humble. She received extra kudos for being fierce. The performance. Not one of my favorite songs of hers, I still have the Howard Stern thing stuck in my head.

However one of my favorite performances of that song vocally. Personally I think she could have done without all those body guards pointless people and just sit and sing. Great homage to Alanis Morrisette too. Totally unexpected.

MJ tribute. I love that song, I loved the way that they did the film in the movie. Did not go to Target to get the 3D glasses and my head and eyes regret it. The only person out in the audience who looked like they were really enjoying the performance, you know with that 3D glasses "in awe" face was Beyonce. Everyone else was like stone face weird-looking. The best way I could describe it :-/. Great singers and usually not a huge fan of Carrie Underwood but she definitely brought it!

- I would post the video from youtube but I don't want to hurt my eyes again. Ouch.

Black Eyed Peas. Too much, too much, TOO MUCH, yet fun. They have been consistent with their background performances though with the "over-the-top" costumes and stuff.

Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift in general... Oh gosh. I think she is what I thought of Britney Spears back in the day. I feel bad for Britney now and I route her on because when you look at what she to be and now what she has become you are like "What happened?" and want to give her a hug. Taylor not so much. Yes she's grounded and her songs are catchy because they play it five million times on the radio but she's so boring and not that unique. YAWN. Maybe I have this personal vendetta against her for the Joe Jonas thing. I personally believed she hung up the phone on him. This is what I think about daily as a graduate student. Daily.

P!nk. Impressive. It was impressive she didn't fall or get electrocuted. Impressive just in general because although it just looks like she's just chilling in a stork sheet thing she's still singing... LIVE. I always enjoyed P!nk. I just miss her pink hair. Couldn't the hammock been pink. Just saying.

Recording Academy President. I think every other year when you speak, you annoy me. Especially this year. I love, love, love it when you speak about preserving music and fine art education, museums and how the industry is moving forward. That's wonderful, that's inspiring and thats what fans and people who are aspiring performers want to hear. They want to feel that connection from the big wigs, to the artist, to the consumer. HOWEVER, I don't want to hear that the industry is suffering from illegal downloads due to the recession. That I'm sorry these musicians, yes, who are passionate about their music, who also get endorsements from other means are "suffering". The reason why it wasn't genuine is because it came from you and not from them. Yes, legally buy music because that's something that someone wrote, produced, played an instrument on. That is their craft and we should support it. But no, I'm not going to sit there and have you tell me, a really poor college student that life is rough for you too.

With that said... Best moments and best performances of the night:

Michael Jackson's children speaking. Very touching and proud moment.

Jonas Brothers. Joe looked amazing of course. With his glasses and his little facial hair. He's like a man now. Nice.

Green Day. I am really interested on seeing the musical. I think it was nicely done.

Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli. No words. Speechless.

Award season is coming to an end. Next is the Oscars. Maybe Paula will post something on the Superbowl because heck I think Justin Timberlake's birthday is like a national holiday. Silly fact: Two years ago I actually won a prize pack on the radio for Justin Timberlake's birthday :). So yeah, I acknowledge his birthday.

What did you think about the Grammy's? Were you bored? Did you stay up late to watch like me?

TV last night

I usually get out of work at 6:30pm and have a ridiculous commute home because it's towards the end of rush hour in the bay area. However yesterday I left about 15 minutes late because it was a rough session. As I am about to pull off on to a storm of unnecessary traffic I realize, that this is the Dallas audition of American Idol and Joe Jonas is the guest judge. Panic ensues and I beg to get home in time while I am moving 5 mph and the Prius in front of me lets everyone and their mother cut them off.

However I made it right at the stroke of 8pm and rushed into the kitchen, turned on the television and who do I see..... Doogie Houser! WHAT! Don't get me wrong I love me some Neil Patrick Harris but this is not what I wanted. This is not what I rushed home to see. I will give him credit he was a great guest judge from the little that I actually paid attention to but still, where is my Joe Jonas! It seems like 45 minutes later, he shows up. And it was very short and boring. Heart is crushed, ego is deflated and now I am just left being a pathetic 20 something year old who rushed home from work to watch 15 minutes of a Jonas Brother, It's a harsh reality.

I mean they show HOURS of American Idol on Fox like every year and you're going to tell me that you are going show like 15 minutes of a part that I actually wanted to see! I mean where are the crazy people? Was Dallas not crazy enough for you? No disrespect to Dallas, but there are crazy people everywhere. It's just a fact.

This episode marked my last time that I will watch American Idol until the finale. However, I think I may watch Hollywood week because I want to see how Ellen mixes in but most likely not. Its a sad realization but one I must live with.

I wasn't the only one who thought last night was a bit off. Sorry Joe, I still think it wasn't your fault. http://popwatch.ew.com/2010/01/28/joe-jonas-american-idol-guest-judge/
