Last night the music world celebrated it’s highest achievers at the Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. Overall, I wish I had those three and a half hours of my life back. Over the course of the event, they gave away maybe 10 awards- and half of those were lifetime achievement awards for people no one remembers. The rest of the time was filled with sleeper musical acts.
The one exception was Kanye West- as always he did his thing on stage. Opening his set with stronger- Kanye appeared on a darkened stage only visible by the lights on his suit. Moments later, his “stronger” glasses light up the room and he ripped up the stage. He topped this with his rendition of Hey, Mama. Tears filled the room and everyone was moved. He represented well for hip-hop, as always.
However, that doesn’t mean the Grammy snobs didn’t do some major hatin. When Kayne stepped to the mic to accept his award for Best Rap Album he barely got a sentence out before they cued up the music. Thank God Kayne checked ‘em on it. While thanking everyone for their support following her death he told the Grammy’s to shut the fuck up-“it would be in good taste to turn off the music.” They did; but the fact that no other artist was given the music was as clear of a sign of disrespect as you can get.
The Grammy people need to wake the fuck up. People watch the Grammy’s because of Kayne; no one is watching for Vince Gill or Ringo Star. Furthermore, the event is promoted using Ye’s name so I thought it was a disgrace how he was disrespected. I thought that was disgraceful and hope he ignores the award show from now on. He needs to stop viewing a Grammy as excellence in music because clearly it’s not. Just love how Album of the Year will never go to a rapper.
The Afterthoughts
I think Amy Winehouse has some good songs but she gets way too much love. She’s a fucking raging mess but that’s Hollywood for ya. Listening to her acceptance speech was fuckin painful as her moves on stage.
Side note: Cyndi Lauper presented an award that Winehouse won and cheer. I the drug addict hot mess rehab ward is not as lonely as I thought.
Tina Turner dancing next to Beyonce had to stop. I know she’s in her fifties and hasn’t been on stage in a while but she should not have tried those moves next to Beyonce. I don’t blame her for this. I blame the Grammy organizers who try these dumb experiments.
Speaking of experiments The Time (who?) with Rihanna. What? That was retarded. I must admit the mirror part was great. I laughed and applauded that.
Aretha Franklin is a beast. I was really afraid that her shoulder strap was going to pop.
I thought the Foo Fighters were good. I’m not a huge Foo fan but I was entertained and they did a good job. The “My Grammy Moment” thing was lame though.
Kid Rock was funny with that old lady. He did a good job doing that old song I thought.
How does Alicia Keys have so many different looks? She looked like two completely different people again last night. Her performances didn't dissappoint.
The Beatles Tribute was way too long and boring. I liked the end with Let It Be though.
Only Chris Brown could pull of that suit. As always, Jay-Z’s suit was on point too.
Herbie Hancock had an album come out?
