2012 in Review
What was the best song of 2012?
I think the best song of 2012 in my opinion would be Mercy by Kanye West featuring Big Sean,2 Chainz, and Pusha T. This song had a very new sound that nobody really had,it also created a lot of buzz for GOOD Music's upcoming album Cruel Summer that came out later that year.
What was the best movie of 2012?
I think the best movie of 2012 was The Avengers.It combined all the superheros that had their own individual movie all into 1 where they fought against a villain.I really understood everything to because I had seen all the other movies that year and the years before.
What was the biggest Sports story of 2012?
I think the biggest sports story of 2012 was earlier in the year when Peyton Manning was going around talking to teams to see where he wanted to go to play football after his injury.When the news broke out that he signed with the Denver Broncos sports websites and channels talked about it for weeks.
