End of the Year Post: The Best and Worse of 2013

Hey there!

I hope all of you had a wonderful holiday! This Christmas, my family and I ate a lot of wonderful food and hung-out on the couch, opening gifts and watching Netflix.

Since the end of the year is near, this post will be on my opinions of the best and worst of 2013. I hope you enjoy and possibly agree with some of my thoughts!


********

People
Best Celebrity: 
Jennifer Lawrence-- Confident, independent, funny and talented; there is really no telling where Lawrence will go in 2014.  


Wost Celebrity(s):  
Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber-- Cyrus is "twerking" and licking hammers; Bieber is smoking, cursing, scratching and peeing in buckets and at pictures of previous U.S. presidents. These were just some of these celebrity's highlights of 2013. This one has to be pretty self-explanatory.




Best Author(s):
John Green and Cassandra Clare-- The Fault in Our Stars and Clockwork Princess blew fans away with their superb and unique writing styles in 2013.

 

Worst Author:  
James Patterson-- Did you read Angel?!
  
Best Recording Artist:
Hunter Hayes-- He always manages to put on his best performance even when suffering from voice loss. Hayes is cute, very talented and a potential big star. 2013 was a great years for Hayes.

 

Worst Recording Artist:
Ke$ha-- Just, no. Ugh. Sorry, Erin.

 

Best YouTube Personality:
Jacksgap-- Although somewhat inconsistent, Jacksgap is always a load of laughs and adventure. Viewers are sure to be tuning into some very exciting episodes of The Rickshaw Run.

 

Worst YouTube Personality (Well, kinda.):
officialpsy-- Do I even have to explain why I don't enjoy Gangnam Style or Gentleman?

TV/Movies 
Best TV Series:
Sherlock-- There are no words how effortlessly perfect this BBC TV drama is. Casting includes Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch (Yes this is his real name), and Martin Freeman (No, not the one with the nice voice. That's Morgan.)

 

Worst TV Series(s'):
Keeping Up With the Kardashians and Here Comes Honey Boo-Boo-- If I was the owner of the stations that broadcast these two overrated television shows, someone would have lost their job by now. 

 

Best Overall Movie:
The Blind Side-- I know that this movie wasn't released in 2013, but it was the first time that I watched it. The Blind Side was hands down, my favorite movie of 2013.

 

Worst Overall Movie:
Mary Poppins-- Again not released in 2013, but too horrible to leave off.

Music
Best Single:
I Want Crazy by Hunter Hayes-- One of my many summer anthems of 2013.



Worst Single: 
We Can't Stop by Miley Cyrus-- What a turning point in "Milers" career. For better or worse, it will always be remembered.


Best Album: 
Encore and To Be Loved + others-- Encore by Hunter Hayes and To Be Loved by Michael Buble were probably the 2 most continuesly listened to albums in our home this year.

Worst Album: 
-----

Best Music Video: 
Story of My Life, Same Love and 3000 Miles (lyric video)-- Story of My Life got my Mom crying. Same Love is just amazing, and 3000 Miles had a very creative concept. All of these videos were well performed and were enjoyed by our whole family.


 

Worst Music Video:
NA. Too many this year. UGH.

I hope you enjoyed my end of the year post! Do you agree or disagree with any of these? Don't be shy to comment at the bottom of this post.

Until later!

  1. I agree with you most of the "Worsts"...especially celebrities! On bests...I like Jennifer Lawrence but I'd have to go with Tom Hiddleston. He starred in Thor 2 and was amazingggggg. He's also done charity work for UNICEF. And been in other movies but Thor 2 the most popular. Of course,this is a matter of opinion. Jennifer Lawrence is great, too!

    As for best album... you told me you considered putting this one in, I have to go with Red by Taylor Swift. Loved it! All the songs on there were great.

    Best music video, while Story of My Life was good, I have to go with the Everything Has Changed music video by Taylor Swift. It was cute and lighthearted (and I love the song too! ;) ). I loved the concept of the music video...and the "mini" Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swifts! Very cute!

    Anyway, that's my super long comment bout this post. I couldn't agree more on worst celebrities. Ughhh! Miley Cyrus is just......bleh bleh bleh bleh...

  3. Great list, missy!

    I'm really digging Jennifer Lawrence. We saw her in Silver Linings last year and I loved her performance. (Just saw HG-II last weekend, fun!) Not only is she super talented but I love that she's not razor thin. A very positive role model, indeed!

    Sherlock? Can't agree with you more! I saw this series on a very long flight a year or so ago and absolutely loved how the creators seamlessly brought today's technology into Holmes' life. Absolutely terrific show!

    Albums … mmm … that's a tough one. I really like Kacey Musgraves album "Same Trailer, Different Park." Her lyrics are so … insightful and honest and real. She just makes me smile and think and do some serious sing-alongs! :D

    Another album I really like is Darius Rucker's new album--"True Believers." He has such an incredible timbre to his voice--it just resonates with me.

    You're right--The Blind Side is an incredible movie. But I can't believe you don't like Mary Poppins! It's a classic. I grew up with it … :D

    Thanks for sharing your bests, B!

    1. Auntie T,

      First off, thanks so much for being an avid commenter on my blog! I very much enjoy hearing your opinions and I appreciate all of your support.

      I agree with everything except Mary Poppins. Hahaha, I'm such a 21st century kid! :D

      I also am a HUGE fan of Kacey Musgraves, too. I featured one of her songs on a blog post. I really enjoy "Follow Your Arrow" and well...all of them!

      Love,

      Bailey
