My Grammys 2021 Recap Hey guys!! So... here it is! My Grammys 2021 Recap (well the written version)! This is my blog post version of my Grammys 2021 recap & this will be my last post for a while as I spend more time focusing on my podcast so let's end things with a bang before I go on a much needed blog hiatus. I did a promise a Grammy recap & I will give y'all.. just freaking that!! Usually every year, I record the Grammys on my DVR & then watch it the next day after watching it live & do my review there but this year, I wanted to switch things up! I will be doing more of a recap than a second by second review! I will be taking a hiatus from blogging to focus more on my podcast so if you haven't listened to it, search It's A BOP! with Jess on Spotify! Click here for my Grammys 2021 podcast episode:  Podcast Episode The recap is ONLY going to be on my podcast! 

How Do I HONESTLY Feel About Grammys 2021... Hey guys! So today's post is going to be sharing my final thoughts before the Grammys TOMORROW!!! ISN'T THAT FREAKING CRAZY?? I have been waiting for this day since Grammys 2020 & since then, a lot has gone on & waiting for this year's awards has felt like YEARS but I am freaking excited it's finally almost here! So today's post is basically going to be the written & very much shortened version of my previous podcast episode! Click here to listen to the episode if you are listener rather than a reader! So, the reason I really got into the Grammys this year is because one of my main quarantine activities was to do Grammy predictions & really dive in to why certain songs & artists get nominated & we are going to talk about how I feel now that the Grammys are TOMORROW! I'm really looking forward to seeing how the General Field categories are going to turn out because I really think Best New Artist...

My Thoughts on Past Best Pop Vocal Album Winners! Hey guys! It’s the start of Grammys week & today I will be sharing my thoughts on past Best Pop Vocal Album winners from the past couple of years! I will be sharing my honest thoughts about each album, whether they deserved the win, & who I think should have personally won. If you like this post, ALWAYS LET ME KNOW & don’t forget to stay tuned for another Grammys themed post later in the week! Click here to see my obnoxious nomination thoughts! When I think of Best Pop Vocal album, I think about who served the BEST vocals & just absolutely killed it so let’s get right into this! Grammys 2000 Winner: Brand New Day by Sting Other Nominees: Millennium by the Backstreet Boys, Believe by Cher, Ricky Martin by Ricky Martin, & Mirrorball by Sarah McLachlan  So I am very familiar with the Brand New Day album because I grew up listening to a lot of Sting. I get why it won but at the same time... MILLENNIUM IS A ICONIC ALB...

Filling in the Blanks... (My 2021 Grammys Performers Predictions) Hey guys! I guess Grammys week is starting a day early this year because CBS did these fill in the blank artist line up reveal & I couldn't help but do a whole entire blog post predicting who's performing this year. Hopefully, I'll be right! Today's blog post is going to be me trying to fill in these blanks & predict who I think is going to perform at the Grammys this year! If you are new here, hey welcome to this blog! If you wanna see my thoughts on this year's nominees, the link is on the side of the blog! If you wanna hear my *totally awesome* podcast, the latest episode is linked on the side of this blog as well! So there's 26 spots & I'm going to try to guess to the best of my ability who fills up each of these spots! These are not the official performers, these are JUST predictions! The official performers will be announced tomorrow just like the picture says above! There wi...

Happy 4 Year Anniversary American Teen! Hey guys! I am feeling a little bit nostalgic today so I decided hey, why not blog about it? It is currently March 3, 2021 aka the 4 year anniversary of Khalid's debut album American Teen! This album means the world to me because it really got me into Khalid & I just began to love him so very very much. I regret not going to the American Teen Tour but going to the Free Spirit Tour made up for it! Click here to see my Free Spirit Tour experience post that is getting views again! Whenever this album came out, I was 19 years old & it was the year after I graduated high school. I was really trying to really get into a new artist & then I was on Twitter which at the time was brand new because my old Twitter account had gotten suspended so I was trying to rebrand myself on Twitter.  I ran into Khalid on Twitter & the first song I heard was Location & I was into it then I heard Saved & immediately I fell in love.  I star...

Stats for Spotify Results (February/March 2021) Hey guys! I know I didn't do a Stats post last month because I was on a blog break & my Stats results were IDENTICAL as the December/January results so I didn't really want to post them. I also post music I'm into on my podcast, "It's A BOP! with Jess" & a lot of the music I'm currently into is discussed on the podcast. If you want to check out the podcast, it's linked on the side of my blog or simply look it up on Spotify! It's crazy to think I did my first Stats post ONE YEAR AGO! I intentionally did the post because I had discovered the website & wanted to share my results, then it became a tradition of mine on here & the views I got from each post were getting higher & higher so I figured this would be a fun monthly tradition so happy 1 year to that! ANYWAYS! Let's see what music I've been into lately! I will be posting my Top 10 most played songs from the last 4 weeks ...

Let's Chat: Let Me Catch Y'all Up! Hey guys! I know, I've been using the same selfies over & over but I haven't simply been in a picture taking mood ever since this winter storm hit Texas or honestly just in general like even on Snapchat, usually I'm all about taking selfies daily & showing my not so exciting life on there but nope. My few snap friends (because I've heard horror stories about having your snap on public & if you want my snap, no you aren't getting it) have just been getting song screenshots from me because I really don't know what else to post. I just wanted to do this post because I know I've been super MIA on here & I was mainly MIA on here because I was focusing on my podcast & other possible content creator avenues. I'll always have a soft spot for this blog so that's why I didn't deactivate it completely. I did in fact delete a TON of older posts that just didn't align with what I wanted my con...
