What Your Music Says About Your Personality

TresSugar — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:00:00 PST

This Sunday is the Grammy Awards, and while some may think music is just entertainment, it may say more about who you are than you think. One glimpse at the top-25 tracks in your iTunes can tell a lot about you. Introversion and extroversion are perhaps the two characteristics that most affect what music people tune into. Though both temperaments will roll - or rock - with their moods and activities, extroverts are more likely to reach for upbeat music that's heavy on vocals while introverts gravitate toward slower tunes with complex movements.

One surprise is that there's no connection between the abrasive lyrics common in rap and heavy metal and aggressive or sexual behavior. Listeners of heavy metal, particularly, have shown to be sensitive and gentle souls. In fact, they have a lot in common with classical music lovers. They're both creative, easy-going, and introverted.

Whether you listen to pop and rap or indie and classical, see what it says about you.

Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Show: Touchdown or Letdown?

Shannon Vestal — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 05:30:00 PST

The Giants may have won the big game, but the verdict on Madonna's Super Bowl halftime show is still out. The Material Girl took to the field in a Viking-like headdress and costume to revisit some of her biggest hits, like "Vogue" and "Music," while interacting with some impressive Cirque du Soleil performers, LMFAO, and Cee Lo Green. The set was a mix of old and new, since she topped it off with new single "Give Me All Your Luvin'" alongside Nicki Minaj and M.I.A. I thought it was a fun enough show for fans of Madonna, but I was hoping for something a little more explosive - after all, this woman has never been afraid to take risks. It just felt a little safe to me, and I would have liked to have heard some more classic Madonna hits. But I'd love to hear your thoughts; were you feeling the halftime show or not?

In case you hadn't heard, Madonna will be taking the stage on Sunday to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show. We're keeping our fingers crossed for one or two vintage songs (a medley perhaps?), but there's one thing you can count on: she'll be showing off her latest single, "Give Me All Your Luvin'." The new video for the song is essentially an ad for the biggest day in football: we've got linebackers surrounding the Queen of Pop, while M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj act as cheerleaders. Whether or not you're into the tune, there's no denying that Madonna's still got the bod and the moves of a pop star. Watch it below and tell us what you think.
