Sam Smith: In The Lonely Hour Album Review


Sam Smith. He is probably the UK's biggest rising artist of the moment! And, he is storming into the US!

His album In The Lonely Hour debuted at Number 1in the UK and Number 2 in the US. VERY impressive.

I'm pretty sure that everyone knows him because of his massive hit "Stay With Me".

When I first heard of Sam Smith, I was watching Saturday Night Live. I wasn't really paying attention because honestly SNL has gone downhill and isn't funny. But, I heard a beautiful soulful voice in my ears and immediately glued my eyes to my TV screen.

I immediately went to Youtube to listen to "Stay With Me" and realized that he was the amazing voice behind Disclosure's huge hit, "Latch".

After hearing his amazing singles "Money on My Mind" and "Stay With Me", I couldn't wait until his album released in the US on June 17, 2014.

Since this is a review and I have to be honest, the album was kind of boring!

The Fault In Our Stars: Movie Review


It's the teen romance movie that we've all been waiting for!

The movie is based off of the extremely popular young adult novel, "The Fault in Our Stars", by John Green. I'm sure you guys all know the story, so no need to summarize!

John Green is an amazing writer. I have read "The Fault In Our Stars" along with his other novels "Looking for Alaska" and "Paper Towns". His dialogue for each character is always hilarious. Anyone who reads his novels is able to relate to one of the characters because they are all realistic. And, he keeps his writing simple. No need for "The skies were slowly changing to blue, which was the sorrow I felt..."BLAH BLAH BLAH. (My rambling begins.)
