Sahra Motalebi is a true artist. Her music is simply stunning.

The Iranian-American singer's name is Sahra Motalebi. The song was "Pearling."

Must be terribly difficult work as a critic to polish turds like that pink single and the john legend offering and try to make them palatable.
why aren't people buying pop music currently? because it isn't very good. no mystery.

Good for AC/DC, whatever the coincidence is that has them charting during recessions its nice to see dinosaurs knock some whippersnappers out of the way.

I think Angus should start dressing like the Dean of the school. The uniform is definitely getting creepy.

Pink just go away.
