Just fyi, all songs/singles released (or popularized) between May 1 2008 and April 30 2009 were eligible for The Alex Awards 2009 (5th annual). All nominations were my opinions, so if you don't like them, oh well.

The artist with the most nominations this year is Kanye West with 12, followed by Lady GaGa with 10. Keri Hilson and Lil' Wayne each earned 9 nominations. Anyways, have fun voting!!

GLEE!

So, I meant to blog earlier about this wonderful show (GLEE), but I have been lazy. Anyways, "Glee" is about a teacher (Matthew Morrison) who is trying to revive the Glee club at his school, despite multiple forces working against him, including the cheerleading coach and the principal. His group of somewhat loser kids are going to train on their way to winning Nationals. The teacher also has help from another teacher who clearly has a crush on him (Jayma Mays from "Heroes" and "Pushing Daisies").

Anyways, FOX premiered the first episode after part 1 of the American Idol season finale. It was AMAZING! It was funny, clever, and musically great. Unfortunately, it won't be back until the fall, but in the meantime, you all should check out the pilot episode, which is currently FREE on iTunes! The show is seriously worth a look! Plus, two songs from the show are available for download on iTunes ("Rehab" and "Don't Stop Believing"), and they too are also amazing. Check it out!

Classic line: "I'm Beyonce. I AIN'T no Kelly Rowland!"

Here is a trailer for it:

Two Movie Trailers That Have Promise: "Precious" and "Nine"

So I saw two movie trailers in the past two days that have me extremely excited for the movies. This isn't always a good thing, but I think these two movies are going to be amazing! Plus, they will both fare well at the Oscars.

First up: Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire. This movie (which used to be called Push) has had buzz surrounding it since it debuted at Sundance Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award and the Grand Jury Prize for Best Drama. Star Mo'Nique won the Special Jury Prize for Best Supporting Actress. The film also stars Gabourey Sidibe, Paula Patton, Lenny Kravitz, Mariah Carey, and Sherri Shepherd. Watch the trailer. Trust me!



Next: Nine. Adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, this film promises to have huge costumes, songs, sets and performances. It's going to be fun and dramatic. It's Oscar bait and I will probably love it. As an FYI, it stars Daniel Day Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Marion Cotillard, Peneope Cruz, Judi Dench, Fergie, Kate Hudson, and Sophia Loren. Basically, it's going to be amazing. Watch!

RIP Danity Kane

So, as I'm you all know, Danity Kane is officially over. In September, Making the Band 4 showed Diddy kicking Aubrey and D. Woods out of the group. Then, when the show came back in March, we saw that Diddy invited all 5 of the girls to come back, but that only Dawn and Aundrea showed up. After they tried to get Shannon back and waited for a long time, Diddy finally decided to let 4 of the girls out of their contracts (Aubrey, D. Woods, Shannon and Aundrea) and to keep Dawn on Bad Boy as a solo artist.

Then, last week, the show had a live finale where four of the members of DK (all except Aundrea) came on and confirmed that they are officially over and that they will not be reuniting any time soon. It was pretty obvious that they didn't get along, especially Dawn and D.Woods/Aubrey. They're all working on their own stuff now, which is a little sad, but I guess we all have to move on.

This week, MTV aired "The Rise and Fall of Danity Kane", which relived the group's life from their formation through their #1 albums until their demise. All in all, for me at least, it was pretty sad. Through their reality show and their fantastic music, I have become pretty attached to Danity Kane and I'm still upset that they have disbanded. It seems like they could've kept it together, but I guess we don't really know the whole reason.

They'll always have a place in my heart (considering they are my #1 most played artist, according to my last.fm and the top two most played songs on my iTunes ("Damaged" and "Show Stopper")). I do hope they reunite in the future, but that seems unlikely.

I am definitely looking forward to what they individually have to offer, but I am afraid that it won't live up to their achievements as a group. We will definitely see.

In the meantime, let's take a moment of silence for my favorite girl group Danity Kane.
