Hello everyone, my name is MikeyRocks33, and THIS… is my review of 2016!



Now, this is my first review of the year, so don’t expect me to be professional. This year was a devastating one in the media. Ten days after the year had started, the iconic British singer/songwriter, David Bowie, bit the dust to liver cancer. It has gone way downhill since then, with famous celebrities such as Prince, Alan Rickman, Big Ang, Gene Wilder, Florence Henderson, Pete Burns, Alexis Arquette, Leonard Cohen, George Michael, Ricky Harris and Carrie Fisher all dying due to different causes.

Another terrible thing had happened: Donald Trump was elected as the 45th President of the United States. It was then and there that I thought “what the hell did you just do to your country, America?!”. I thought for sure that Trump would not win that presidency, as he is xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, and an all around bully. On the last days of the election, he described how he used to sexually assault women. Now THAT’S what made me thought that he would definitely not win. Yes, what Hillary did was illegal, but at least she owned up to it. Did Trump own up to any of his one billion offensive comments? No, so to the Hispanics, African-Americans, women and LGBTIQ+ people who voted for Trump, f**k all of you. You just erased all of your freedom and rights in the so called “land of the free”. Well f**king done! For those people who HAVE A MIND and didn’t vote for Trump, I will pray that all of you get out of these four years alive. So, this year was a huge graveyard, and a carbon copy of the 1950s and 60s, but that doesn’t mean that there is nothing good.

A lot of good has als happened alongside the celebrity graveyard and Trump winning the 2016 election. A lot of amazing albums have been released this year, such as Poundcake by Alaska Thunderf**k, Dangerous Woman by Ariana Grande, Glory by Britney Spears, and the long-awaited Joanne by Lady Gaga. Another good thing about 2016 is that we got not one, but two new seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race! Even though the eighth season of the show was a hit and miss, we were given the glory of RuPaul’s Drag Race: All Stars 2. Yes, Katya didn’t end up winning, and the lipsyncs MAY have been rigged in favor of Alaska, but it ended up being an amazing season. From Phi Phi vs. Alyssa, to that amazing performance of Read U, Wrote U in the finale! It was all amazing. American Horror Story still continues to be amazing, with Roanoke being most people’s favorite season. We were also introduced to two new amazing Netflix originals: Stranger Things and Haters Back Off! I have personally watched every episode of both shows, but damn son, you need to watch both of them.
