Pharrell Williams - Happy

I have no idea why Pharrell Williams wasn't rewarded with an Academy Award for his incredible "Happy" off the Despicable Me 2 soundtrack last night. Instead that went to a cheesy Disney ballad (actress Idina Menzel's "Let It Go" from Frozen) that is nowhere near the qualities of  "Happy". It goes to show what the Oscar Academy knows, I guess. If Pharrell is disappointed at least he's got a worldwide sleeper hit on his hands, as this song just builds and builds in popularity for each day. I have yet to hear a single person say anything bad about it, and why should they? It definitely lives up to its title, and who in their right mind does not chase happiness? Also, today is the day when Pharrell releases his new album, the star-studded and very good G I R L. Here's to him!

Watch and listen

Pharrell also performed the song live at the Oscar show, and it was simply mind-blowing. Watch it here.
