People are in love with Sam Smith’s Bond Theme Song
After months of speculation, Smith finally announced earlier this month, that he is singing the new theme song for the upcoming James Bond flick, SPECTRE. The newest Bond film stars Daniel Craig and hits theaters, October 26th in the UK and November 6th in the U.S. Don’t worry you only have to wait till September 24th to hear Smith’s single, “Writing’s On The Wall.”

The 2015 Grammy Winners
Last night was Sam Smith’s night, winning a total of four awards, including Best New Artist. Pharrell also had a good night winning three awards, including Best Music Video. Kanye was in true form last night almost interrupting Beck after he won album of the year. Kanye decided to save his rant for E’s post Grammy show, where he ranted for 3 minutes about how Beck should’ve given his award to Beyonce. Besides Kanye’s stupidity there were amazing performances, such as Common and John Legend’s performance of “Glory”. I have the winners and nominees from the top categories.
My favorite performance of the night was Pharrell who sang his hit song, Happy. The performance started out dark and a little creepy, but by the end Pharrell made me fall in love with “Happy all over again. Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett sang “Cheek to Cheek” and it was lovely. Lady Gaga is a true performer and she proved to the world that she can sing, but her fans already knew that. The Grammy’s are known for putting together artists for one of kind performances you won’t see anywhere else. The best example of that was Ed Sheeran performing “Thinking Out Loud” with John Mayer, Herbie Hancock and Questlove. I also enjoyed John Legend and Common, they performed the moving song “Glory” from the movie, Selma.
