Ant #326. BEST and WORST of 2015.

Hi, bitches! Let's do it again! ;-)


1) Best pop song.

It wasn't a great year in music but there were some good songs.

Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do (From "Fifty Shades Of Grey")
Ciara - Dance Like We're Making Love
John Newman - Come And Get It
Mylène Farmer & Sting - Stolen Car

but there's only one winner and it's...

Madonna - Ghosttown 

2) Best pop album.

A few really nice albums were released...
Madonna - Rebel Heart
Marina and The Diamonds - FROOT
Melanie Martinez - Cry Baby

but the winner is...

Mylène Farmer - Interstellaires

3) Best dance song.

Dance music was way better this year than pop music and my dance hall anthem was definitely...

Major Lazer - Lean On (feat. MØ & DJ Snake)

4) Best dance album.

I loved Kylie + Garibay collaboration, Robyn did well this year too, but I was really impressed with my working girl's long play!

Little Boots - Working Girl

5) Best r'n'b/rap song.

Congrats to Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money

6) Best r'n'b/rap album.

Nothing really impressed me this year ))) Again... ;-)


7) Best live performance.

Bow down to Katy Perry's Super Bowl performance! She did great!

8) Tour of the year. 

There's no competition when the Queen is on tour... Congrats to Madonna's Rebel Heart Tour.

9) Best new artist.

Not really new artist but I discovered this group just in this year.

Say Lou Lou

Their album Lucid Dreaming is just amazing! <3

10) Video of the year.

Hard to choose one... Really... So many great videos were release:

Adele - Hello
Madonna - Living For Love
Mylene Farmer - City Of Love
Major Lazer - Lean On (feat. MØ & DJ Snake)

but the best one is...

Kygo - Stole The Show feat. Parson James

11) Artist of the year.

I might be very subjective but how I name "artist of the year" anybody but Madonna? Good album, cool videos, amazing tour, lots of live performances! It's been a year of the Queen of Pop for sure!

And some anti-awards! ^_^

1) Worst artist.

Lana Del Rey... I don't understand how people can stand her!

2) Worst video.

Sorry Brit, you shouldn't do this...

3) Fail of the year.

Nobody else could literally fail like Madonna at Brit Awards! Congrats, babe! ;-)

4) LOL of the year.

Nothing can compare to the epic Lenny Kravitz's penisgate!

Thank you! Good night!

See you next year!

Ant #325. Months of silence.

It's been a long time since I posted for the last time.
The reason is simple... I was on tour... Actually not me, Madonna was on tour (and still is) and I was following her all over Europe.

Cologne, Germany -> Prague, Czech Republic -> Berlin, Germany -> Stockholm,  Sweden -> Herning, Denmark -> Turin, Italy -> Barcelona, Spain -> Antwerp, Belgium -> Mannheim, Germany -> Zurich, Switzerland... 16 shows in 3 weeks...

+ touristic visits to Ljubljana, Slovenia -> Budapest, Hungary -> Bratislava, Slovakia and lots of time spent in Vienna, Austria.

It was the longest trip of my life. I missed Buenos Aires a lot. Finally I'm back home! ^_^

Actually I wanted to write an end-of-the-year post, but then I thought... What can I write about? There are million of crazy stories happened to me during this trip, but whatever I reveal someone will get in trouble ))) LOL)

I'll think of it and will post something, not sure what it will be. I have some days left! :-P

Ant #324. Kids.

All of my friends probably heard from me that I hate kids. And of course when I say this, I don't mean it.

When I was 6 years old, my sister bore a daughter. But I didn't become her uncle, instead I became her father. My sister got divorced and never had any support from ex husband. She worked a lot, so did our parents, so I was with my niece 24/7. I did all those things that fathers always do, while I was a kid myself.

It was a hard time for me, since that moment I used to say I hate kids and I don't want to have my own one coz I already have one (my niece), but of course it's not true! In Russia we say that "kids are flowers of a life". I cannot say any better!

Why am I saying all these?

I've just known that my lovely friend, amazing argentinian girl that I once met in Tel Aviv, has got a second child, a beautiful boy called Noam. And I'm so happy for her that I don't even have proper words to describe my excitement! She's definitely one of the greatest moms on Earth and the boy was very lucky to be born by her.

OMG! I'm so emotional right now! ^_^

Ant #323. Another one social experiment.

Watch this video, please...

Homeless Father Vs. Homeless Drug Addict Social Experiment
I'm shocked. I couldn't believe THISCheck this out ➡️ http://goo.gl/Kw0WIK
Posted by Bryan Silva on Wednesday, July 29, 2015

So what we could see? Homeless Father Vs. Homeless Drug Addict. And most people gave money to a junkie. Do you think it's unfair, bad decision, lack of morals? I DON'T! And let me explain why... 

In all the modern countries people understood many many time ago that if they just ignore drug addicts, they are gonna start killing. I'm not exaggerating! Even though nobody like them, nobody feels like helping them, people know that junkies cannot live a normal life, they cannot work to pay their drugs, so they start robbing or even killing other people. That's why normal citizens prefer to share some money with marginals to prevent crimes. Obviously no one wants to give away money to those who don't deserve them but there's no other choice.

And what's about a young normal guy that have 2 hands and 2 legs, that is a good looking, that has a beautiful daughter, that sitting on the street during the day instead of doing something? There's no way people help this guy! NO WAY! Society doesn't support laziness. He must work. And ignoring him people are pushing him to put himself together and sort his fucking life out. I find it a good motivation.

Ant #322. Standing for Kelly Osbourne.

Once she said this...

she got this...

OMG! Such a drama with what Kelly Osbourne said...

Some people are sooo obsessed with being politically correct that they don't even wanna face the truth.

Does it really surprise anyone that in any country the most of immigrants (I'm not talking about british expats signing a 3 years long contract in a 3rd world country) do the dirties unprestigious less paying jobs? Seriously, does anybody know a common mexican that moved to U.S. and immediately became a top manager?

Kelly said what we all know but have no balls to say!
Besides, she's really pro-immigrants coz instead of claiming them to go away (like all conservatives do) she knows that any modern country needs them.

Open up your eyes! Who's cleaning your street? An immigrant. Who's cleaning your home? An immigrant. Who's sitting with your children? An immigrant.

I don't give a fuck about being politically correct, but I DO give a fuck about saying the truth.
So take the sand out of your vaginas and finally start using your brains.
Doh.

Ant #321. HIV+ people.

I have a friend (in Moscow) who is HIV positive. He doesn't know that I know it, but I know (don't ask me how).

I saw this video and I remembered about him. I remembered how he never let me to hug him, how he never let me to drink from his cup, how he refused to sleep at my home because he thought he had to force me to clean the sheets after him and didn't know how.

I left Russia more than 2 years ago, but he never opened up to me or to any of our friends. And I understand why. For many HIV+ people it's even more difficult than for gays to come out from closet. There are so many prejudges in a society about this desease.

I feel sorry that I couldn't tell him some words of support... I didn't want him to feel scared or uncomfortable. If he wanted to keep it in secret, I had to respect his decision.

I just wanna tell anybody who has HIV+ friends. They aren't leprous. They are still the same people that you once knew!

Ant #320. Rain.

I remember an old russian song where the lyrics say "Nature doesn't have a bad weather. Any weather is good."

I don't know. I have a friend who says that any weather is a nightmare, it's always too hot or too cold or too this or too that. She's funny )

I think I'm alright with a heat and frizzing cold, but I can't stand the rain. It ruins everything, plans, willings to go out, but first of all it ruins a good mood.

In Russia we say that rain is nothing but a sky crying. I think it's a beautiful metaphor. And that's exactly how I feel. I watch the water knits on my window and feel tears rolling down over my soul. I wanna get back to my bed and cover myself with a blanket. Too bad that nobody's bringing me a cup of a hot coffee... ☕

Current mood song...
