2010 Grammy Review

This years Grammy's were fairly boring for the most part.  Lady Gaga opened the show with an amazing performance of Poker Face & then was joined by Sir Elton John on Speechless with dueling pianos which was also awesome!  I enjoyed Stephen Colbert's intro with his iPad & his short monologue was pretty funny & I enjoyed the fact that he noted the amazing talents of Susan Boyle.  After his speech some awards were given...I don't really care about the awards, I watch for the performances because I'm never happy with the award winner.  I didn't want to miss Big Love so I DVR'd the second hour of the awards & watched it last night & I'm glad I missed it the first time around.  I did enjoy the Michael Jackson tribute but since I didn't have any 3-D glasses I felt sick to my stomach through the entire thing & had quite a headache for a while too...I did my best not to look but it was hard not to.  Watching the kids accept the award on their father's behalf was uncomfortable...neither of them was very well spoken which didn't surprise me due to their age but maybe they should have given them something easier to say then.

Beyonce had no right to sing Alanis & ruin it like that plus the extras in her  performance made no sense so I didn't care for it much.  Bon Jovi...meh, wasn't bad but I'm indifferent.  P!nk was flipping amazing, I thoroughly enjoyed her performance as I always do but I don't get why people are saying that it was boring or lame...she got a freaking standing ovation!  Granted, had I been sitting in a $50,000 dress & water started flying all over me I'd be a little peeved but those people still stood.  I enjoyed Eminem & whomever else he was with, I thought Maxwell was boring & I skipped Jamie Foxx as I don't really like that song anyway so why bother watching it?

Next we go on to the worst performance of the night which was brought to us all by Taylor Swift.  Why is it that nobody has realized that this girl cannot sing?  Not once have I seen her perform & sound good so how in the hell does she keep winning all of these awards?  Every lyric was flat or out of key, she honestly sounded like me playing Rock Band & trust me when I tell you that's not a good thing.  I felt bad for poor Stevie Nicks having to sing with her, she looked really uncomfortable the whole time & poor little Swift had this big ass smile on her face like she was singing the best she'd ever had.  

I didn't watch any of the country performances & I don't really remember much about the last hour except for the final award "Album of the Year" and who won?  Taylor Effing Swift?  I'm sorry but this year the Grammy's were a huge fail!  If Tonedeaf Swift can beat out Lady Gaga & Beyonce then there is something very wrong with the music world today.  

That's my recap of the Grammy's so, what did you think?
