Ke$ha: Animal Album Review

The dollar sign-studded pop rookie released her debut album this month entitled Animal and she has already climbed her way to the #1 spot for her debut single, Tik Tok.

Although she is heavily compared to other artists and seen as a new Lady GaGa, Ke$ha has created a sound that is completely her own. And with her already landing a #1 single, she is on her way to major pop success.

Highlights on the album include Take It Off and Hungover, both depicting her very personality; a crazy drunk lady. But somehow she makes it attractive. Her infectious beats keep people wanting more which is exactly what she's wanting.

Tik Tok has reached #1 on iTunes and Billboard's Hot 100 in the past month. Could we see more #1's in the coming months? I'd like to think so.

2009 was the year of Lady GaGa, 2010 will mark the year of Ke$ha.

The Blind Side Review

If you haven't heard the buzz about The Blind Side by now then you most likely haven't left your house since November.

This is easily Sandra Bullock's best film to date but what about the other actors in the film? We haven't heard much about them.

Tim McGraw, who played Bullock's husband, hasn't gotten many pats on the back for his performance in the film, nor has Quentin Aaron who played the aspiring football player, Michael Oher.

That may sound bad but this film was just what Bullock needed to bounce back from her horrible flop in All About Steve last September.

The film is moving in many ways but most of all it showed the common caregiving of the "southern" type people. This film depicted a very crystal clear image of how a homeless teen found a way to becoming a pro football player for the NFL.

Sandra Bullock received the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in a Drama which she very much deserved. And she also won the People's Choice Award for Best Comedy for her performance in The Proposal last June.

2009 was a huge, successful year for Sandra Bullock so let's hope she can carry on just as well in 2010.
