Grammy comments:

1) Kanye's mullet is gross.

2) Kate Perry was out of tune, BUT had a sweet dress & gets kudos for singing live.

3) Who knew that Morgan Freeman & Kenny Chesney were friends?

4) I still can't believe M.I.A. performed on her due date...

5) I love love love iconic artist combos a la Dave Grohl & Paul McCartney playing 'When I Saw Her Standing There'. There is also a back-up singer that LOOKS like Tom Petty, but is not Tom Petty.

6) There's a lack of music on the Grammys. Don't they normally play the songs of winners, etc??

7) Rihanna & Chris Brown BOTH cancelled performances & appearances after Chris Brown is accused of felony battery on an un-named female.

8) Jennifer Nettle(s?) has an amazing voice... so pretty, and she looks pretty! She pretty much IS Sugarland, sadly.

9) Adele makes singing look effortless, and I hate hate hate her for it!!!!

10) Umm... Gwyneth looks SO good! I thought she was introducing Coldplay at first, and I was going to be very disappointed.

11) Radiohead blows me away yet again. Imagine being in that marching band & getting to play with them!?!?!

12) I think Jason Mraz brought his mom to the show. Cute.

13) The re-cap of the people that died always makes me sad. George Carlin, Jerry Wexler... Norman Smith!!! Levi Stubbs... Jheryl Busby... Isaac Hayes... Bo Diddley :-( ... aw man. Music has lost a lot of legends this year!

14) Awesome blues tribute with John Mayer, Keith Urban, BB King & Buddy Guy.

15) Love Allison Krauss & Robert Plant.

16) Lil Wayne is 26 and has THREE kids already!

17) There's a lot of bleach blonde going on with Green Day right now. Tre Cool is Tre white!

18) Rick Reuben - producer of the year... he should have gotten it when he did the Dixie Chicks album.

19) Album of the Year.... Radiohead!?!?! Ummm nope, Robert Plant & Allison Krauss swept EVERYTHING. Seriously... it was a great album, but really? Album of the year??


Annnnnnnd the Grammys come to an end. The conclusion of the night: 1) I'm tired. 2) I sitll want to fulfill my lifelong dream of attending, and can only hope the ceremony I make it to will be as great as this one.
