    Yes, Will Smith just made the greatest moment in Oscar history. He punched Chris Rock right in the face while Chris is performing some"jokes". People are hyped about this, saying that Will Smith did everything right, I disagree. But first, if you don't know the story yet, it started after Chris made the joke about Jada's hair loss.     "Jada, can't wait for G.I. Jane 2," Chris said. Will Smith's wife Jada suffered from hair loss and she shaved her head. G.I. Jane is bold as well, that's the joke. Alright, can we just clear up, awards like Oscar and Grammys have been the most boring awards for a while. I'm a music guy, so I care a bit about Grammys, but I never watched it. Those kinds of awards lost their relevance for some time. Thank god nobody's interested in those entitled, boring and awful celebrities. When this incident happened, it was like the soul of Oscar has been brought back, they finally offered some quality content. It...

         How ironic! The winner of the Euros got disqualified for the World Cup, again! If you don't know what happened, Italy lost 0-1 to North Macedonia three days ago. I was expecting an Italy vs. Portugal at the final, very unlucky. So many chances were created by Italy, however, they didn't turn those chances into actual scores. The four-time World Cup winner is facing a 12-year hiatus, can you believe that? North Macedonia president called Ronaldo out          This game really showed you can't overlook any countries in football. Italy dominated the whole game, but they really don't turn any of them to scores. What an amazing result for North Macedonia! When people were all talking about final Portugal vs Italy, Portugal made it, but Italy didn't. That finishing goal by Trajkovski was absolutely fantastic. If I remember it correctly, Trajkovski was an ex-Chelsea trialist. Although this doesn't mean that they have been qualified for ...

     I have had a top albums list in my head for years. Recently some albums have changed this list, so I want to capture these thoughts and recommend these albums to you. Those albums meant a lot to me, and they are definitely worth your time to check out.      I'll only choose 1 album per band/artist or else Radiohead will just slay the whole list. I've given a lot of the reviews previously, so I will just talk about my personal experience and share a lot of very good lines.     5. Paramore - After Laughter         "All that I want, is to wake up fine." At some point in my life, Paramore is my favorite band. My angsty and emotional side was ignited by them, and I still love them to this day. It's a hard battle between Brand New Eyes and After Laughter, but throughout the years, After Laughter is my favorite. After Laughter has a more sincere attitude towards everything in life. The lyrics don't match the sound at all, and I'm...

    Four days ago, Uefa announced the quarter-final draw, and it's very interesting. Let's just get right into it.     Liverpool vs Benfica     Benfica is definitely the ultimate underdog in this season. Finishing as the second in the group with Bayern and Barcelona is pretty impressive. What's even more impressive is the match against Ajax. They didn't dominate the match, but they did win at the end of the day. This told us you can never underestimate a big club. Benfica could be the underdog, who knows. With that being said, Liverpool is probably one of the strongest clubs in the world right now. In the last 16 matches, they've only lost one match against Inter Milan. I'm sorry but I don't think Benfica will be the underdog again. This club that Jurgen Klopp has built is truly mental. Mo Salah will score a couple of goals, and Nunez will probably get a sneaky goal as well.          First Leg(Portugal): Liverpool 2:1 Benfica...

     I have a lot of dreams in my life. And one of them is to see Hayley Williams live singing Misguided Ghosts and 26. They are two of the most important songs in middle school. So today, I'll rank Paramore's 5 studio albums from worst to best.     And I don't want to rank them in scores:)     5. Paramore (2013)     Paramore's self-titled for me is their weakest album. The band confronted many changes at the moment, the left of the Farro brothers and the fading of emo/ pop-punk music. What they've done is change their style to a more poppy direction. I always appreciate bands who dare to make changes in their career, but this album didn't reach their highest point. Self-tilted is a 64-minute album, 17 tracks as their longest album, which is too long for a pop record. You can tell that they tried on this album, with tracks like Future and those interludes. However, at the end of the day, I rather listen to tracks like Ain't it Fun and Still i...

    I've covered MCR in my mall emo blog, so I want to dig deeper about them. They are one of the greatest rock bands of the 2000s, and they're one of my favorite bands of all time. They've made 4 studio albums and a compilation album throughout their entire career. Today I'm going to rank them from worst to best.     And they came back in 2019, thanks to covid, they didn't release anything and still can't go on tour. A bit sad :(     5. Conventional Weapons (2013)     This is definitely their weakest point. The whole thing is a compilation recorded in 2009, and they're not satisfied with it, so they just released it slightly. It's basically a Danger Days B Side, and Danger Days aren't that good either. A lot of the songs felt unfinished and poorly mixed compared to their other work. With that being said, this album isn't that horrible either. Some of the lyrics really shined out for me. Ambulance is a pretty decent song, I love the tune and melo...

    Chelsea has been officially facing sanctions. Terrible news for our club, because our club may go bust. Two sponsorships ThreeUK and Hyundai suspended their deals with Chelsea. The players cannot be paid, and we can't even buy merch or tickets at Stanford Bridge. These horrendous things really put Chelsea in a bad place. Thankfully the club still can be sold, however, I don't think the next owner will be as good as Roman Abramovich. This could be a downfall for the blues, and I'm really hoping that Chelsea FC can go through this all.          Let's talk about how I feel about this sanction. Personally, I think this could go a lot better. Sure, Roman Abramovich isn't the cleanest billionaire, so do many billionaires. There are still conflicts between Yemen and Saudi Arabia, how about sanctioning Newcastle and Man City? And the whole team is not only about the politics and business, but also a club that just passed their 117th birthday. A football cl...

    Scarborough Fair is a classic folk ballad in the UK. But what made this American version so iconic throughout the years? I'm going to talk about the song and its story in this blog. Simon&Garfunkel     In the 17th century, a Scottish ballad called The Elfin Knight listed a story about an elf, who gave a bunch of impossible missions to a girl. It has common with the English ballad Scarborough Fair, and hundreds of years later, it became the ballad we know today. The Graduate  Soundtrack       When we think about this ballad, the Simon&Garunkel version is arguably the most classic one. It was featured in the Graduate soundtrack and actually copyrighted Simon&Garfunkel as the songwriters. Sounds a bit ugly, right? Anyway, nothing to do with Simon&Garfunkel, this is still the best version I've ever heard. Parsley, Sage, Rosemary and Thyme could be the ingredients for a love potion or a riddle for the songwriter's lover, however, it...

    Uncertainty are surrounding us. I talked about the recent Russia-Ukraine war, and I couldn't stand it. However, today I want to talk about something about the quote-unquote "sanctions". I'm speaking about the ban on sports and music.     The biggest thing on football right now is probably the leave of Roman Abramovich. He put Chelsea FC on sale, which made an end to this Chelsea era. In 19 years, Chelsea has become one of the greatest football clubs in the world. Probably days after, it's going to end soon. As a Chelsea fan, it's sad and worrying to see the club making such big changes in this current society. Who knows what's happening next?  I won't blame this to the British government, because that's how sanctions work. But, when it comes to a business deal that based on UK's own culture, that needs to find a balance. I don't think the whole thing is compeletely wrong.     There're a bunch of sanctions which are definitely ridicu...

     Pop music always cheers people up. So I thought it would be a great idea to rank some pop music from the last decade, which in my opinion, is the best decade for pop music. I rank them only based on the music itself, not impact, popularity, or creativity kind of pretentious bs. And surprise surprise, I don't have a single male star!      Also, I will only rank 9 of them, or else the list will be forever. So they are all great pop stars, not really"worst to best".     Honorable Mentions     The Weeknd : Starboy has some decent tracks and House of Balloons gives some special feelings. But he really improved himself on After Hours and Dawn FM, which were in the 2020s.      Dua Lipa : The Same case as The Weeknd. She had some bangers as well, but Future Nostalgia is her best album for sure.     Adele : Her singing ability is absolutely wonderful, and she has some bangers. My biggest problem is that every album f...
