grammy train wreck.

last night i went over to jamie’s place so we could watch the grammy’s. i twittered the night away, but twitter got them all messed up because i texted them in from my phone. so here are my tweets in the proper order, with some new comments added in.

Boo to u2. Al green and jt were alright. (i heard that jt and al green were called in to fill in for the missing rihanna and chris brown. it seems that chris brown may have assaulted rihanna and gotten arrested for it.)

jennifer hudson got the award for best r&b album, good for her, but she forgot to take off her apron.

omg myley cyrus and taylor swift together for the first time.  (i didn’t even realize i was waiting my whole life for that moment.)

Please give me the strength to make it through kid rock’s performance.

(guest tweet from janet by way of josh, used without their permission so i hope they don’t mind.) Janet says ” Kid Rock is what Applebee’s is to foood.”

Poor stevie wonder having to perform with the jonas brothers. (how did they get him to agree to that.)

Ugh. Coldplay again and katy perry next. Its gonna be hard. (i just can’t see how coldplay deserve any award, sorry that’s just my opinion.)

We had to mute katy perry. (she is beyond horrible, why why why why why?)

yay for adele! (i’m glad when someone worthwhile wins every now and then. and the face she made when she mentioned the jonas bros was awesome.)

Is it suppose to be black and white? I feel cheated of my mia. My goodness she is pregnant. (there was not enough mia in that performance, and all the rap superstars seemed a little lost.)

jennifer hudson tore it up live. i will have to go see her when she comes to town.

i freakin love radiohead. (they pulled off playing with the marching band. ‘15 steps’ was a good choice. i think they should have had the whole band there. they’re are such a killer live band.)

How could they not give it to radiohead? (i’m sure that robert plant & alison kruass album is good, but come on. why not give it to someone original.)

the grammy’s could learn something.

a couple of weeks ago keight, morgan and i suffered through the many hours of the grammy awards just so we could see the rihanna and amy winehouse performances. in the tradition of the grammy’s they ruined the show with too much talking and performances that just killed any joy that one can get out of the music. why do they feel the need to make everyone collaborate, beyonce does not need tina turner, and no one really needed to see fergie with john legend. thankfully i blocked most of the gospel travesty (featuring aretha franklin) from my memory. rihanna’s perfermance was ruined by the awkwardness of mixing her with the time, be thankful i couldn’t find a decent video of it. the only thing that saved the show was kanye west’s performance with daft punk, and amy winehouse. ms. winehouse couldn’t be paired with anyone because due to “visa issues” she couldn’t make it to the show, so she performed from a club in london.

the grammy people do a good job of keeping the performances off you tube, so here is the best i can do. and i don’t know how long they’ll be there.

kanye and daft punk performing “stronger”, kanye went on to do “hey mama” also. this video must have been made by a daft punk fan. really your not missing much.

amy winehouse singing “you know i’m know good” and “rehab”, i think the club setting really suits her.

onto what the grammy’s could learn. the brit awards were held yesterday, while i couldn’t watch the show, the performances are all over the web. they don’t seem to mess with the artist. sure there were collaborations, they just weren’t as forced as the grammy’s were.

mika opened the show with a medley of his hits and a guest apperance by beth ditto of the gossip. sadly she is a little lost in the mix. he is not really that known in the u.s, i became quite smitten with his album last summer.

rihanna performs “umbrella” with the klaxons as her band. i know nothing of the klaxons, but i am strangely growing to love rihanna. i threw my hipster cred out the window long ago.

and of course ms. winehouse made an apperance doing a kind a shaky “love is a losing game”. they tried to capture the club feel, but just don’t quite do it. she really has something though.
