The Two Sides of Taylor Swift - Bad Blood Mashup | MUSIC

Hello!

source, source
"Heck, even the thought of it seems impossible"

We know that Taylor Swift can do no wrong. So when you're given two versions of Taylor Swift in one video, it's a bit overwhelming at first, but then you begin to love it! Bad Blood is an awesome song, with a pretty cool video (Karlie Kloss would like it made into a movie, and I agree!), so you'd never think of mashing it up with Never Getting Back Together. Heck, even the thought of it seems impossible.

Well, expect the unexpected because this mashup is done incredibly well! Credits to the 'editor' because it's actually pretty cool!



So tell me, what do you think? Is it too much T-Swift or can you agree it's a great mashup? 

One Direction FOUR: Music

Hello!

" songs you'd want to listen to when you're in the car on a rainy day and looking out the window as though you're in a movie"

With a new year (I'm probably going to start every post in January with that opening!), new music is called for. Is it really? No, probably not, but what can go wrong - other than being totally addicted to it and having to listen to it 24/7!

Well, I've never really been a huge, die-hard fan of 1D, until now. Literally, the most recent album, Four, has been on repeat. After listening to the Four album playlist on YouTube about a million times, I decided it was time to add it to the iTunes playlist - and I never looked back!

My top 3 favourites from the album are: "Fool's Gold", "Night Changes" and "Ready to Run". Special mention to "18" too.

The album is great because it's quite relaxing. Like, it has the type of songs you'd want to listen to when you're in the car on a rainy day and looking out the window as though you're in a movie - catch my drift?

So, if you're looking for a couple of songs to add to your playlist, don't let any stereotype of 1D stop you. Their music is great and that's all that matters!

Tell me, are you a 1D fan? If so, what's your favourite song?

Music Monday: Happy Little Pill

Hello!

Knowing that this hasn't been a consistent series on BBXO, it is making a comeback today: Music Monday. Why, you may ask? Because I was craving to hear this song today, and I would be a horrible blogger if I didn't share it with you!

"However cliché this may sound: it has grown on me."

Troye Sivan, the man behind TRXYE, is a YouTube hit sensation! Having seen him at Summer in the City last year, it's weird to think he now has an album. This song is the first song of 5, it's the first one I heard and at the time, was not in love with it.

However cliché this may sound: it has grown on me.

What do you think of Happy Little Pill?

Summer Playlist: Recently Discovered

Hello!

It might be pouring down with rain this week but that doesn't mean we can't listen to summer music, right?! Seeing it's May and everything it's totally appropriate!!

1 // 2 // 3

1. Summer - Calvin Harris

If this isn't a summer song, I don't know what is! 

2. Nobody to Love - Sigma

3. Waves - Mr Probz

Any Summer Playlist recommendations?? 

Music of the Moment

Hello!

Right now certain songs have literally been on repeat for hours on my iTunes - so, of course you had to hear them! Although it hasn't been far too long that you've seen a playlist type of post on BerryBloomXO, yet I couldn't resist!

1. Say Something - Christina Aguilera, A Great Big World

This song was covered by this years US X Factor winners, Alex & Sierra, which is where I first heard it. A couple of weeks later I came across the song on YouTube and had it on replay for about 2 hours straight! For the record, I am still not sick of it! A song that will never get old and a must listen to!

2.  If - Luke Conard

Another YouTube find, Luke Conard is a YouTube musician and this is one of the many great songs he has on his channel. If you watch the Music Video, you'll see it's not just another 'boyfriend/girlfriend' song, but about another special lady in his life. It's so lovely and again I can listen to it on repeat (but not quite as much as 'Say Something'! Haha!).

3. What Now - Rihanna

She's back. RiRi has been off my playlists for a while now but this song has bought her back! I feel she has evolved to a different perspective again and this song is definitely one you could fall in love with. At first I thought it was a little iffy, but it has definitely grown on me!

That's it! My fav songs of the moment!
Are you as addicted to 'Say Something' as I am, or is something else on repeat for you?

Music Favourites of Now

Hello!

Music is the pathway to our soul. Okay, I totally just made that up but music CAN lift our spirits and make us feel good, therefore we live a great, happy life! Music therapy has been used for years to enhance mood. So, listening to music is great! I thought I'd share with you some songs that I have recently downloaded or been listening to a lot:

1. Hey Brother - Avicii

I loved 'Wake Me Up' by Avicii and this newer song is great too!

2. The Monster - Eminem ft. Rihanna 

Can Rihanna ever sing a bad song? Remember 'Love the Way You Lie' by them too? Oh and Shakira and Rihanna are set to release a song too, cannot wait!

3. Let Me Go - Gary Barlow

After watching The X Factor when Gary Barlow and Sir Elton John did a collaboration, I thought that Gary Barlows' song is really good!

Thats my top three! What is your favourite song of now?! Leave a comment!

Rebecca Black - Saturday… What do you think?

Hello!!

It's Friday, Friday, gonna get down on Fridayyyyyyy!! Well, technically it's Monday. Anyway, I'm sure you recognise that song, if not, where have you been?!
Anyway, so Miss Rebecca Black got famous for her song 'Friday' which has 60,000,000 + views! Crazy, right?!

Well, to prove to everyone that Rebecca has got talent, she released a new song…. yes, it's called Saturday and no it doesn't go like 'Saturday, Saturday, gonna get down on Saturdayyyy' - it's very different actually!
Check it out:

I don't think it's that bad - it proves the Rebecca has a good voice too! Maybe it's this years christmas party song.. and will be playing everywhere?! Well, it certainly won't beat 'Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer'! 

What do you think, is it better than 'Friday'?
