Grammy Whammy

So last evening was the musical palooza of the year that is the Grammys. Now I'll admit living in the Midwest in the midst of the 9 month blizzard season I was a little under the weather and fell asleep early. So I will be commenting on the portions I was awake for and red carpet affairs.

Red Carpet:
Rihanna - not a fan. Umbrella gets stuck in my head for hours and I hate it and I can't stand her speaking voice. None-the-less we all know most of the entertainment industry is not based on talent but on covers. She was a vision last night. Her performance outfit was horrific it looked like she was mauled by a wild animal but her blue carpet outfit was fabulous with a capital F.

Poor Nelly Furtado. Do we not all love her infectious beats and lovely voice. But bad Nelly. Bad Bad Bad. Hair, dress, jewelry...not a smidgen of it matched.

Beyonce: Miss Thing. mmmm hmmmm.Why do you keep letting your mama dress you and WHYYYYYYYYYYY do they keep letting you perform. Wailing and flailing are also not talents I hate to break it to you. So over Beyonce but I'm fearing it'll be like 5 years or a massive public breakdown until everyone else is.

Fergie: Fergalicious. Love this girl. She continues to get better and better with age. Great performance outfit and slammin red carpet piece. She is sexy I love her.

Chris Brown - Ewwwy suit red and white are slick but on a whole suit. Not quite. Good thing he is so ridiculously young and has time to let his style mature.

John Mayer (like you didn't see that coming) - I l-o-v-e the new hair its the perfect mix of the hippie long and the prep-boy short cut. Mmmm Mmmm Mmmmm I could have eaten him up as always.

John Legend - this boy is so classic musically and style-wise. If only every man could put on some sort of suit combo and look so delicious

I could go on peeps but lets get to the show because that wasn't long enough as it was....

Prince. Opening award presenter = exciting. I am a huge Prince fan and he is just so subtly over the top at all times it just freakin amazes me. Go Prince Go.

Winehouse - Well as much as I'm not for supporting a singer winning awards about a song for not going to rehab and then getting thrown into rehab.....girls got chops. Please don't drag it out a la Britney Spears....Amy you are way too talented to do the whole music-drug fade out thingy.

Kanye- Now as much as I think Kanye is a pompous ass on a daily basis he is a force. He will be the rapper/hip-hop artist that stands the test of time. His techno looking performance and tribute to his mommy last night were both good....and I don't really even like him.

Tina Turner's Pants - Now any sister who still rocks as hard as Tina Turner and doesn't blow it by wearing completely age inappropriate silver pants is amazing. Tina is ageless and those pants should still be burned.

Foo - Fantastic Foo. They kicked it outdoors and in winning and rocking out plus super cool being the band to play with the MyGrammy winner & orchestra.

Kid Rock & Keely Smith - This was perhaps my favorite moment of the night (that I saw) because it was so unexpected and so good!!!!!!!! Kid Rock surprised me with his crazy good voice and Keely Smith is just my hero I hope I'm that kickass still when I'm her age. I loved this its too bad the Grammy's doesn't get this creative and spontaneous more often.

Alicia Keys & John Mayer - It was definitely Keys night for great performances and I love that these good musical buddies decided to play together although I wish Johnny had a little bigger role but hey he played, he was sexy, I'm happy happy.

Herbie Hancock winning album of the year - John loves Herbie and therefor I love Herbie. Plus its not really fun if one artist (cough cough Winehouse) sweeps EVERYTHING.....so kick ass Hancock!!!!!!

So until next year my musical mavens...... <3
