Sorry to be biased but of course, a while ago I was at school while the Grammys awards is going on. And when I got home from school, I checked my Twitter and it turned out that Coldplay didn't get the Grammy's. I checked my timeline and my fellow Coldplayers are like, "F*CK YOU THE BLACK KEYS" and me like—"who are they?" 

Yes I am familiar of The Black Keys because everytime I visit the iTunes Store, I see them in the alternative genre. And a while ago I heard one of their songs, "Lonely Boy" (the song that made The Black Keys won and the competitor of "Charlie Brown" by Coldplay in one of the categories) and realising that it's not even rock—some sort of "Babel" by Mumford and Sons. And me in my head like, "seriously, this song—what the —"

I heard Babel by Mumford and Sons. I like the tune. But a while ago when I heard Lonely Boy my reaction is like, "why did this song won?" Yes I heard Charlie Brown by Coldplay (which is one of the competitors of Lonely Boy in "Best Rock Performance" category) and comparing them—me in my head like, "Charlie Brown is more awesome than Lonely Boy oh my—" And that brings my hatred to The Black Keys.

Well apparently, I saw my friend's Twitter and she tweeted like, "Yay, The Black Keys and Skrillex won!" Oh yes I'm fine with Skrillex even though I don't listen to their songs but I replied to her tweet and said, "Sorry for the anti-The Black Keys tweets—"

Going back to the Major awards in which I will only discuss for now, it's marvellous that fun. won at one of the major awards in The Grammys. Yes I do like their song, We Are Young because it sounds, oldish (even though it's not) and oldish tunes—I'm fond of it. Babel by Mumford and Sons, I remember that Chris Martin from Coldplay tweeted from the Coldplay page that he likes the song, which made me realised that his taste in Music is the same with mine. Somebody That I Used To Know by Gotye feat. Kimbra, the lyrics—it's very relevant to my situation so recently I started listening to it and it turns out I'm fond of the song itself. And the Best New Artist goes to fun.. They deserve it. Honestly, try listening, At least I'm Not As Sas As I Used To Be by fun. because that song is so hipster but marvellous in tune. I'm letting you guys to discover their background before they became famous because of We Are Young.

And I'm wondering why Ed Sheeran didn't win at The Grammys. Honestly, I don't listen to Ed Sheeran's songs but I think he's way better than One Direction of course. I remember in one of his songs that he's nominated in this year's Grammys (based on my friend) that he composed that song when he's very down and that song has been nominated is such a great honour. Of course for him it's so unexpected that the song he wrote when he was down can be a winning masterpiece for the Grammys. But the thing is he didn't win and why.
