2. Bruno Mars – 24K Magic (worst): I mean, it was boring, but I have to admit that he sings great.

3. DNCE - Body Moves/Cake by the Ocean (best): It was one of the best performances, because they were very sassy and they were literally singing over the crowd, it was a great first performance for this new band.

7. Green Day - Bang Bang (best): They showed me that they have the same energy that before.

8. The Weeknd - Starboy (worst): We have to admit that it was boring, even when he sang good it wasn't that spectacular as he thought, because I'm pretty sure that he thought it was going to be a great and amazing performance, but it wasn't.

9. Kings of Leon - Waste a Moment (best): This is the first time that I like one of their albums and this song is a good one. Talking about their performance, I think it was a good, because the band sounded amazing and Caleb Followill (the singer) sounds the same as in the song of the album.

10. Bebe Rexha - I Got You (best): Even when she started singing very low, she get better and she did a great show and I really liked that giant "u" with eyes.

11. Lukas Graham – You're Not There / 7 Years (best): It was almost an acapella performance and Lukas Forchhammer (the singer) did an amazing show, I think it was one of the most emotional performances of the night. 

12. Afrojack - Hey (featuring Fais and Ty Dolla $ign) (worst): Even when it wasn't that bad, it wasn't one of the best performances of the night. It was boring in some parts and entertaining in other (but mainly boring).

13. OneRepublic - Let's Hurt Tonight (best): This has become as one of my favorite bands and Let's Hurt Tonight is one of the best songs from their album. Their live performance was great and the rain in the stage was stunning.

14. Green Day - American Idiot (best): It was the last performance of the night and as Green Day won the Global Icon Award, they played one of their most iconic and best songs.

5 Women VS. 4 Men / Watch these great music videos

Shawn Mendes - Mercy

"Mercy” is the third single from his upcoming second studio album "Illuminate". This pop ballad has a great message, it's about a heartbreak, but I think that rhythmically this song sounds pretty similar to "Treat You Better" and I have to say that I don't like when the songs sound similar, because it's kind of boring. On the other hand, I liked the music video, I think that I understood what he tried to explain us.

"Would you please have mercy on me?

I'm a puppet on your string

And even though you got good intentions

I need you to set me free"

Austin Mahone - Way Up

As all we know, Austin Mahone has been working in new music, thus he released two new song, one of them is "Way Up", for that reason he has decided to publish a lyric video that you can watch now. It sounds like an R&B song and I like the melodie of the song, I think it has nice style. Talking about the lyric video, we can noticed (again), that Austin isn't a little boy anymore, it's a hot lyric video.

"She a bad girl, she slim in the waist

She get what she want cause she pretty in the face

Takin' out her phone and she posin' for the picture

Filter out the things she ain't feelin' in the mirror"

Tom Odell - Here I Am

The English singer-songwriter Tom Odell has published a new music video, this time for the song "Here I Am", taken from his latest album "Wrong Crowd". This is an amazing song, I really loved it, actually the whole album is a masterpiece. The message of the song is so powerful and the music video is perfect for it.

"I walk past your tower block

Saw a flick in the blinds

I said tonight will be different

And that I won't come back"

Fifth Harmony - That's My Girl

The music video for the empowering female anthem "That's My Girl" by Fifth Harmony is pure fire. The song has a great message dedicated to those hard working girls and the beat is pretty cool. However, it reminded me to one of her old songs. Talking about the music video, I think that it's pretty cool, but I'm not sure if it really reflects the message of the lyrics.

"You've been down before

You've been hurt before

You got up before

You'll be good to go, good to go"

Calvin Harris - My Way

"My Way" is the latest single by Calvin Harris, so he published the lyric video. The song is about getting away from something, likely a relationship. The song has a tropical house beat and Calvin is the singer of the song. Calvin Harris explained that the song is about: “breaking out of a situation that you thought was a good thing. Then, you’re way more comfortable out of it.” Somethings is telling me that he's talking about... Taylor Liar Swift? I'm Jus' Sayingg okay.

"Why wait to say, at least I did it my way

Lie awake, two faced

But in my heart I understand

I made my move and it was all about you"

My favorite music video was...

I think that from this list, the best music video is "Here I Am" by Tom Odell. Even when it is kind of "simple" or "repetitive", it matches perfectly the meaning of this amazing song.

What about you guys?! What was your favorite video? Did you liked the newest single by Calvin Harris? Did you already watched Gaga's new video? If didn't, you can watch it here too, just search her name on the list that is on right side of the blog and watch it. Don't forget to follow me on Twitter and Facebook (@JusSayinggBlog).

Tove Lo & BANKS vs. Jason Derulo & Shawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes - Three Empty Words

Has released a new song taken from his upcoming album "Illuminate". "Three Empty Words" is a slow ballad, Shawn said that "thinks it is one of the most “meaningful” songs in his new album" and I think that it sounds great, but his voice still reminds me to Justin Bieber.

"I'll pick you up at the same time

At the same place, the same old drive

We'll just talk about our day

To try to fill the awkward space tonight"

Jason Derulo - Kiss the Sky

"Kiss the Sky" is Jason Derulo's new single, taken from his new recopilatory album called "Platinum Hits", that features 11 multi-platinum hits and this new single. I already heard it and this new song is great, it's so funky and it fresh, because it doesn't sound as his latest songs and it's pretty catchy and fun.

"Cause I believe we can fly now

Spread your wings and kiss the sky

Yeah, I believe we can fly now

Spread your wings, we're miles high

So we can kiss the sky"

Tove Lo - Cool Girl

"Cool Girl" is her newest single from her upcoming second album. Tove Lo describe it as "There’s definitely a different sound to it we’ve gone a little bit more dark techno vibe with it, some of it. You know, blended with pop." 

With this new song I'm waiting desperately for her upcoming album, because "Cool Girl" sounds great! It's so catchy and the beat is ecstatic. Well done Tove! I'm ready for this new era.

"Rules you don't like, but you're still gonna keep 'em

Said you want fines for whatever reason

Show we can chill, try and keep it platonic

Now you can't tell if I'm really ironic"

BANKS - Gemini Feed

"Gemini Feed" is the first promotional single, taken from her upcoming second studio album called "The Altar". I talked about her yesterday in "You Should Listen to..." and I said the reasons of why everybody should listen to this amazing singer, one of the reasons was this new song. It is an alternative-pop with a heavy bass and electro influences that you'll love.

"Open up your eyes

There's nothing on my body left to see

I tried a thousand times

I tried to say "I love you", but you didn't hear me"

My favorite song is...

It was so hard for me to choose just one! Because I'm between two of my favorite singers, Banks and Tove Lo and her respective songs are perfect. However, I will choose Tove Lo's new single "Cool Gilr".

But I would like to know, what was your favorite song? Are you excited for BANKS' upcoming album? Leave all your comments and follow me on Twitter and Facebook. Also share it if you liked what you read and visit me daily.

Three amazing videos, just one winner.

Yellow Claw - Invitation (feat. Yade Lauren)

The DJ duo from Amsterdam, Yellow Claw have published the music video for their latest single "Invitation", featuring Yade Lauren. It is the first song that I hear from this duo and it's great! Yade's voice is beautiful and the beat is perfect to dance in the club. Talking about the music video, it is on point and Yade looks gorgeous and the Eiffel Tower is the perfect background for this song.

"Everybody needs that one good fire in their life

And if you wanna burn I got the light

Let my body be your guide

Watch your breathing sync with mine"

Grouplove - Welcome To Your Life

The indie rock band Grouplove have released "Welcome To Your Life", the first single from their upcoming third studio album called "Big Mess" to be released this year. I like their music style and I love the message of this song, it's great! At first the song sounds kind of electro-pop, but when the chorus begins their "hippie" vibe explodes.

"Welcome to your life, yeah, yeah

It could be a fantasy, yeah, yeah

Welcome to your world, my girl

Let it be your fantasy, oh yeah"

Shawn Mendes - Ruin

The Canadian singer and songwriter has released a new song from his upcoming second album, the song is called "Ruin" and he also published the music video of the song. This new song is a ballad, where Shawn shows us that he can sings and he do it great. On the other hand, the black and white video is kind of simple, but I think that it's okay for the song.

"But darling, don't you know that I'm the only one for you?

And I'm not tryna ruin your happiness baby

But darling, don't you know that I'm the only one? Yeah"

The music video of the day is...

Personally, the best music video between these three is "Invitation" (feat. Yade Lauren) by Yellow Claw. The song and video are amazing, I liked the Yade looked very sofisticated in the whole video and I loved the song, I think that I'm a new fan of Yellow Claw.

Fuck With Myself, Spoken Word or Treat You Better

1.BANKS - Fuck With Myself

Jillian Rose Banks better known as BANKS, has released a new song called "Fuck With Myself", with its music video. After "Better" this is her newest single, I'm not pretty sure if she's working in a new album, but that would be nice, because her debut album called "Goddess", was released in 2014, so I need new music.

Let's talk about the song and video. Personally, I relly like her music style and this new song is great. The music video is dark and she looks beautiful and sexy, I think that it's perfect for the message of the song.

"Cause I fuck with myself more than anybody else (it's all love)
I used to care what you think about me (it's all love)
Cause my love's so good
(So I fuck with myself more than anybody else)"

2. Chase & Status - Spoken Word (ft. George The Poet)

The English electronic music production duo Chase & Status, have released a new song with its respective music video. This newest song "Spoken Word" has a sample of Rozalla's hit "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)", that gives to the song a good vibe. While, the music video isn't very creative. However, it's okay for this song. I liked the song, but isn't like their best one.

"The answers are written in your essenceIt's all a test to see if you're made for itSo go for it, you can't wait for itCause you've got a destiny with your name on it"

3. Shawn Mendes - Treat You Better

“Treat You Better” is the lead single for Shawn Mendes' second studio album and he has published the music video. Even when I don't usually listen to Shawn's music, I can tell you that this is a good song, it is well written and the message is clear, as in the music video. I just want to say that he didn't need to take off his shirt, I mean, if you're going to wash your face, you can do it with your shirt on, Jus' Sayingg.

"When you should be with me insteadI know I can treat you betterBetter than he can"

The best music video of the day is...

According to me, the best video of the day is "Treat You Better" by Shawn Mendes. Because the video matches perfectly the message of the song and it sounds great.
