6. When She sounded this good at 12
7. When she embraces her imperfections
“As a young person who is obsessed with popular culture, fashion, and beauty, sometimes it can be a little overwhelming thinking about all your imperfections compared to these people who are flawless,” she admits. “I think a lot of people believe that being famous makes you superhuman. I think the standards don’t have to be how they are. I just think about my girlfriends and how we all get acne. We feel terrible about it because we feel like it doesn’t happen to anyone else. So I’m like, ‘Look, it’s OK.’”
8. When she and her Bestie, Taylor Swift, have twitter convos

9. When she was a school girl, just a year ago.

10. When She encourages other youngster to vote
11. When she is completley honest about her contemporaries.
On Taylor Swift songs: “I try to stay away from talking about boys all the time. You can go to Taylor Swift to hear that.” On Justin Bieber: “I feel like the influences that are there in the industry for people my age, like Justin Bieber or whatever, are just maybe not a very real depiction of what it’s like to be a young person.” On the Disney stars: “The difference between those kids and me is that I grew up completely normally and went to parties and had that experience. I am way less inclined to be like, ‘Look! I’m fucking mental!’”
12. When she turns the tables on aggressive paparazzi

14. She loves cheese as much as we do
15. Whenever she performs live
16. When she gets excited by other artists

17. Her Tumblr… Just do it
18. The Fact that she is only 18… MIND BLOWING
Lorde Releases ‘Yellow Flicker Beat’ Video From ‘Hunger Games’ Soundtrack
First things first, this video is awesome. Second Lorde has been some dance lessons from her bestie, Taylor Swift.
In the video, Lorde performs the song in a wide array of locations – an empty auditorium, a swimming pool, and even a party (where she, oddly, falls into a bottomless pit). Watch below.
Mockingjay hits theaters November 21. The soundtrack is out November 18.

The best mass musician sing-a-longs EVER
by Sophia Elias
Before Tuesday night, mass musician sing-a-longs were few and far between. Thankfully, BBC Music pulled out all the stops with their star-studded cover of the Beach Boys 1996 hit, “God Only Knows”. In light of the BBC Music launch, the network got everyone (and by everyone, I mean 29 world class musicians) to participate in the promo. With the likes of Elton John, Florence Welch, Pharrell, Lorde, Chris Martin, Dave Grohl and Sam Smith, it certainly didn’t disappoint.
Much like its all-star predecessors, “God Only Knows” will contribute to a good cause. The song is set to be released as a single in order to raise money for the BBC’s Children in Need appeal. I have to say, I haven’t been one to seek out celebrity sing-a-longs, but there is something powerful about world class artists collaborating on a single project. I think we ought take a trip down memory lane and give a nod to all those great musical collabs from the past. There are more than you probably know:
1. We Are The World (1985)
“We Are The World” is the mother of all mass musician sing-a-longs. Written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie, “We Are The World” was released in an effort to raise awareness and bring relief to the famine in Africa between 1983-1985. The song raised over $10 million in record sales from the United States alone. The song included performances from over 44 world class musicians—including Cyndi Lauper, Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen and Ray Charles—who operated under the name of USA for Africa. Fun fact: When the musicians entered the studio, they were met with a sign that read: “Check your egos at the door.” Continue reading
Listen to an all-star cover of Beach Boys’ “God Only Knows” to help benefit the BBC’s Children in Need program.
Brian Wilson, Dave Grohl, Lorde, Chris Martin, Sam Smith, Stevie Wonder, Pharrell Williams, and Florence Welch have joined forces for an epic new version of The Beach Boys classic “God Only Knows”.
Wilson noted: “All of the artists did such a beautiful job I can’t thank them enough. I’m just honoured that God Only Knows was chosen. God Only Knows is a very special song. An extremely spiritual song and one of the best I’ve ever written.”
Good Music. Good Life.
