My Grammy Recap

First of all, happy 2010!

I have been a bad, bad girl. I have been careless with a delicate blog. (Sorry, didn't mean to get that song stuck in your head.) Anyway, I am sorry this is the first time I have written this year but it is for a good cause. Sunday night was Music's Biggest Night....The Grammys!! I wanted to tell you about my favorite and least favorite moments.

Favorite Moments (in no particular order)
Gaga and Elton John Duet: Remember that really controversial but still awesome duet that Elton John did almost a decade ago with Eminem? Yeah, this might have topped it. Although I didn't care for the first half of the opening performance with that weird guy saying "She's a monster" eighty million times but as soon as Gaga and John came out looking like Wile E. Coyote messing with a bomb, we knew we had a winner. Making "Speechless" and "Your Song" blend seemlessly is kinda of what the Grammys are about: the random people that would never perform together performing together and being awesome. As soon as EJ sang, "How wonderful life is now Gaga is in the world", even Gaga-haters had to agree with the sentiment.



Beyonce Meets Alanis
We all knew that Beyonce would deliever an astouding performance. We just thought it would be with her own songs, like the newly crowned Song of the Year "Single Ladies". But when she medlied "If I Were A Boy" with the ultimate woman-scorned anthem "You Oughta Know", it literally shocked me. Sure, she might have screwed the lines but hearing the chorus coming out of her mouth made up for that and more.


Kings of Leon wins Record of the Year
David vs Goliath and David wins. Automatic Favorite. Plus they were honest about them being drunk, so more points.


Least Favorite Moments:
Jamie Foxx
Oh, remember Jamie Foxx, Academy Award winning actor. I think he's dead and been replaced with Jamie Foxx, mediocre live performer. Horrible but not as bad as....

Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks
Love Taylor's songs but Taylor cannot sing live to save her life. Then she relegates Stevie Nicks to flipping tambourine. Remember Stevie Nicks, one of the baddest women in rock? Yeah, she's backup vocals for Taylor Swift. Nice and they say that in Hollywood, women over 40 don't have a job.

Poor Hillary Scott
I love me some Lady Antebellum, so I was excited for their performance. Unfortunately as they start the chorus, a curtain comes down and nearly Brett Michaelses Hillary Scott by hitting her in the head. But, she gracefully pushed over and continued to singing. Good for her, bad for the Grammy prop guys.



There was my brief recap. Got comments? Leave them for me!
