So, I'm fairly new to this Wiki, but I'm planning on starting a Weekly pick of Artists and highlight their work for the week, if that is fine? Like, One week I might write about Alicia Keys, the next week Owl City etc. If you want to make suggestions, then by all means message your suggestions to me!

Excerpted from a Facebook reply that I wrote. I felt it worth sharing:

I know the Germans did some research recently, documenting Facebook envy and showing how it could make people less happy if it is misused. I think that if you use it correctly, it can be a great wellness tool. I find something very healing about friends quickly jotting down a sentence of support, concern, a question or some advice. I think there is some kind of healing or maybe just healthful being that comes from social interaction like this.

We are, at bottom, deeply social creatures, and yet we all want careers and other things which make being social harder. We move around, and so half of you are back in Texas, the other half I’ve known for less than a year. I imagine…

Steven Tyler is the lead singer of Aerosmith, as most of you probably know.  However, some seem to believe he is a rock n' roll genius while others would say he is just an overrated screaming drugaddict.  I want to know what you think! Let me know :)

I have to say something; I LOVE music. I was wondering if I was the only one that felt that music can transport you. I decided to take to the blog to find out. I always feel that when I am feeling bad or if I have had a bad day, I can just put in my ear buds and leave everythind behind. I love that about music and I want to know if any of you out there feel the same way; so post back! :)

Okay, so I am a huge American Idol fan and I will be watching again this year as always.  However, I am a bit dissapointed in the judges they have chosen.  The judges for the 2013 American Idol Season will be Mariah Carey, Nicki Minaj, Keith Urban, and of course, Randy Jackson.  Can't wait or never watching again? Comment and let me know! :)

No worries because we have the wrap up right here! This year's VMAs didn't really have any shocking moments (Kanye West surprisingly did not show up), but there were some great performances: Frank Ocean sang a beautiful acoustic version of "Thinking About You" with a fake fire behind him, Pink had dancers with giant lips as heads, Alicia Keys did "Girl on Fire" with help from Nicki Minaj while Gabby Douglas flipped around on stage, and even more happened! A surprise was when Amber Rose (Kanye's ex) showed up with Wiz Khalifa in a dress accentuating her new baby bump!

The focus of the night was mostly on One Direction, and the British boy band ended up winning THREE awards! But, congratulations is due to Rihanna who won Video of the Year!

PLEASE VOTE BELOW! When voting ends on September 1st, the winning parodies of each song will go head-to-head for best overall music video parody!

Nominees for the MTV Video Music Awards were announced at the beginning of the month, and as I perused the selections, I realized that many of the songs owe a lot of their success to their viral parodies. Of course stars like Justin Bieber are already household names, but artists like Gotye and Carly Rae Jepsen have gained wider audiences thanks to the clever YouTubers who have written and performed hilarious spoof lyrics.

While MTV will honor "legit" music videos next month at the VMA's, we here at the Music Wiki are going to honor the parodies that have given us much-needed chuckles throughout th…

Hello

I am new here, but I have noticed that there are quite a few articles in this wiki that have nothing to do with music at all. Is there any supervision on this, or is basically anything possible?

Thanks a lot for any replies!

The nominations for the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards have just been released and the odds are favoring Rihanna and Drake, who have the most nominations of any artist thanks to their duet "Take Care", which has been nominated for three awards.

DJs of the world can rejoice as their odds of winning a "moon man" have increased from being non-existent. The past year has seen the electronic genre hit the mainstream with full force, from middle school hallways to music festivals, so the VMA's voting academy has introduced a new category: Best Electronic Dance Music Video.

Voting will end on Aug. 24 at 6 p.m. ET/3 p.m. PT, although the voting for Best New Artist will remain open throughout the event, which will be aired on MTV on September 9th. We ha…

Drake, the Canadian actor turned ridiculous tattoo-inspiring rapper, launched The Club Paradise Tour back in February in support of his critically-acclaimed 2011 album Take Care. The tour is now winding down, so for most die-hard Drake fans in the US and in Europe, you have probably already seen the show. If so, you're gonna need to give us your feedback down in the comments section below!

Unfortunately for people who didn't get a chance to see Drake, there are only 15 shows left! I have heard nothing but good things about the tour and Drake as a live performer, who has "approached the tour like an athlete." [1] If you see your city on the list, get some tickets ASAP. Speaking of ASAP, I've heard mixed opinions regarding the rappers with whom …

It is with great sadness that I must write about the death of rapper, musician, director, and humanitarian MCA, also known as Adam Yauch, 1/3 of the hip-hop trio the Beastie Boys. He passed away this morning somewhat unexpectedly at age 47. In 2009, he underwent surgery and radiation therapy after being diagnosed with a cancerous parotid gland and a lymph node. Since then, he missed many Beastie Boys events (including the group's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame), but was hoping to become cancer-free. The Brooklyn native is survived by his wife, Dechen, and his daughter Tenzin Losel, as well as his parents Frances and Noel Yauch.

Yauch, as a member of the Beastie Boys, can be considered one of the greatest rappers of all time (th…

It's alive... he's ALIVE!!!!! The conspiracies were true! Tupac Shakur is back!!!

Oh wait, that's just a ridiculously amazing hologram of Tupac performing on stage with Snoop Dogg at last weekend's Coachella music festival (for those interested, it's based off of this performance at the House of Blues). Depending on your perspective, this video is either a nostalgically terrific, technologically awe-inspiring performance, or it's down right creepy. One might even say blasphemous, but I don't think the Tupac hologram is necessarily a bad thing until it goes on tour and starts making money. That's when we can send the angry mob after Dr. Dre (who commissioned the hologram) for playing God and abusing the image of our fallen hero. The Coachell…

Did you watch the Grammy's last night? The night was filled with heartfelt tributes to the late goddess of pop Whitney Houston from host L.L Cool J to Jennifer Hudson.

The big winner of the night was Adele with 6/6 wins include the trifecta of Best Album, Best record, and Best Song! Congratulations to the British songstress is in order.

The craziest moments were possibly Katy Perry's dig at Russell Brand and Nicki Minaj's "Roman Holiday" controversial performance.

Is "Best Record" and "Best Song" a redundant category in the Grammy category? If you check out the list of music videos below, you may notice that they're almost exactly the same, with the exception of Katy Perry's "Firework" for Best Song! What do you think about the double nominations? Just or not? Should the Grammys nominate different people for the two categories?
