[Review] Watch Ariana Grande Deliver Her 2015 NBA All-Star Half Time Show

ariana Grande NBA Half-time 2015

Christina Aguilera may have opened the NBA All-Star Show, but the honor of performing at its half-time fell to Diva in training, Ariana Grande.

Starting her ten minute-plus extravaganza with Problem, the Diva delivered  a slightly sloppy rendition- with issues in her breath control being evident from the outset. However, she did hit a G#5 like it was nothing at the song's climax, so yay her.

Next followed The Weeknd-assisted Love Me Harder, which only highlighted the issues with her breathing further. The sparse opening was particularly unforgiving, leaving nowhere for her voice to hide. Things improved considerably when it came to her debut single, The Way.

Florence + The Machine Are back!!!! REJOICE!



I've literally been bedridden all day (got the pukes, Tmi I know) , but I had to hit the tablet to post the return of our Alt-Queen, Florence Welch.  All prostrate before Florence + The Machine and the album trailer for (the possibly titled LP)  How Big How Blue How Beautiful.

Annie Lennox Delivers Best Performace of 2015 Grammy



I didn't know Annie Lennox was attending the 2015 Grammy Awards, but I'm glad she did as her surprise appearance took my breath away!

Did Madonna Shade 2015 Grammy Attendees With Matador Theme



Madonna arrived at the 2015 Grammy Awards looking like a confused matador. It was not a pretty sight and made little to no sense for the occasion, or when viewed alongside the dress code taken by others at the event. It was only when it came time for her live showing of Living for Love that it became clear why she chose to dress as she did.

Beyonce Tributes Selma @ 2015 Grammys




Beyonce may not have won the coveted Album of the Year gong at this year's Grammys, but she didn't let that slight stop her from giving her all during the show-closing rendition of Take My Hand, Precious Lord.

As usual Bey gave a polished and professional performance, delivering a stunning POP take of the Gospel hymn. If I'm honest, it didn't take me to Church like the Ledisi version featured in Selma did, but she still delivered one of the standout vocals on the night.

Katy Perry Leaves The Gimmiks at Home For 2015 Grammy Performance



After the exuberance and spectacle of her Super Bowl performance, Katy Perry stripped it back for her showing at the 2015 Grammy Awards.

Rihanna Delivers Flawless Vocals At 2015 Grammy Awards




Rihanna brought the vocals to the 2015 Grammy Awards! Praise Jebus! I was genuinely shocked at how effortlessly they flowed from her too- especially after peeping the smoking pre-show picture on Instagram. Even Paul McCartney's mush mouth, confused "singing" wasn't enough to distract me from what I was beholding.

[Watch] Sia Swings From The "Chandelier" with 2015 Grammy Performance


Sia , Maddie Ziegler Kristen Wiig  grammy


Sia brought a variation of her Chandelier routine to this year's Grammy Awards.Still facing away from the crowd, and with Maddie Ziegler in tow, a change was introduced via the addition of a third dancer, Kristen Wiig...and a shiny new set blonde wigs.

As a majority have probably already seen the original routine for the song, both in its official video format and performed live at various places, it was a smart move from Sia to embellish upon that (very solid) foundation come the Grammys. After all, this is the generation of novelty. So to have not added something new would have had the masses sighing and saying "not this again", instead of focusing on the performance at hand. (Trust me, if Pink can suffer that line of stupidity for her repeated, impressively athletic live renditions of Try, it could happen to Sia.)
