What in the world has happened to the Grammy's? I must admit that I only caught the end of it, but what I saw was head-shaking nonsense. I saw Kanye West win & give some arrogant speech. He glared (through sunglasses) at the camera and said "You gonna play the music on me?"...because he was not finished giving his speech. Everyone gets an allotted timeframe for their speech. Why should he get any longer than everyone else? It's not like he won Album of the Year. Had he taken the top category, then fine. But he didn't.
The Foo Fighters? They won, too? Over Daughtry? Who has had an amazing run this year? And what was with the Foo guy in the jeans & tshirt sitting with his feet all curled up on the seat? Grow up, buddy! You are at the awards show of the year for your industry! Act like you know how to conduct yourself in public.
Poor Amy Winehouse. While performing, she looked terrified & drugged up. Her dancing? Looked like a little girl wearing mommy's heels for the first time as she shuffles down the hall to show off her (lack of) balance. And what does it say about an industry & society when they vote for best record as that of one about rehab.? Doesn't that warrant worry and cause for concern rather than a grammy and glorification?
"Prof." Will. I. Am.? He's a professor? I didn't know. And I couldn't follow his "S to the P to the E to the E to the C to the H". It lost me.
I LOVED LOVED LOVED Kid Rock with Keely Smith. They were too cute together. And her voice is still AMAZING! Aretha Franklin is gorgeous yellow. She always pulls off class and elegance. Little Richard, Jerry Lee Lewis, and John Foggerty.......fabulous. Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban. Okay...anything with those two names is going to be impressive and bring tears to one's eyes. Tina Turner..........nothing else to say. She performs to the utmost every single time & never misses.
But, for a 3 1/2 hour show.....this was just a small chunk that adds up to a few "hits" with a TON of misses. Alas, the remainder of the show was not one that impressed.
