Sorry guys my ADHD got the better of me and I nixed the whole live blogging thing. The Grammy's aren't what they used to be, since Michael Moonwalked off planet sanity. I can run down the entire bloated night in a few bullet points:
- Whitney Houston appeared. She still has not convinced me she has given up the whacky crack.
-
Jennifer Hudson turned a sad moment even sadder with a sad song that she had to cut short due to breaking tears. She did take home Best RnB Album. Yeah!
-
Chris Brown and Rihanna did not show up reportedly due to a 'domestic situation' in which he was later arrested, booked, paid bail and released. I am having flashbacks. It's Ike and Tina all over again.
-
Rap music has jumped the shark with a 9-months preggers MIA "singing?" on Swagga Like Us. **Sidenote** How old do you have to be before rapping on stage is just a sad cry for help? I think Jay Z may be there.
-
I did enjoy Jamie Foxx, Neyo, and Smokey Robinson joining the last surviving member of the Four Tops to do a medley of their hits.
-
I did not enjoy Boys II Men being relegated to background singer duty so that that whiny-voiced Justin Timberlake could duet with Al Green. I actually believe Justin has agreat voice, I am just miffed that Boys II Men had to sing back up for that punk. Boys II Men!!!? Ugh!
-
I wish Neyo had performed Closer. He has been killing the game since Usher been on lock down with new wife. Ohh which brings me to some crazy news:
-
Usher cancelled last minute due to a 'family emergency'. News Reports are claiming that his wife, Tameka, who just recently gave birth to their second child had 'serious' complications from platic surgery down in Brazil. I really hope this account is exaggerated. This a year after Kanye West lost him mom, Donda to plastic surgery complications. Say a prayer for her. .
I stopped watching about midway. So if anything noteworthy happened please leave in the comments.
Speaking of shark-jumping…Stevie Wonder with the Jonas Brothers? I’m still in shock…
I totally don’t get the Jonas Brothers.
That’s exactly why I don’t look at shows like this, Stan. They get a little too out there for me.
This was the first one I had watched in a while. Now I remember why I stopped watching them. For every good performance like a Four Tops tribute you get, there are about four others that just make your skin crawl
