AKA the Grammys: Cacophonous Fusion Extravaganza of 2009
Timberlake and Rev. Al Green. A good idea. Shakily executed at first, but it worked itself out. Plus, Justin is so freaking adorable that it doesn't matter.
Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. I see the logic. And while I'm not a Taylor Swift fan-- she came across as incredibly mature tonight. She did a great performance and she's a good writer who totally gets her demographic. In contrast? Miley Cyrus just kind of makes me want to wrap my face in Saran wrap.
Kanye West and the Afro-Mullet. A resounding NO.
MIA and the Rap Pack was the most ridiculous and abrasive thing I've seen since/heard... since Katy Perry descended to the stage in a banana and proved once again that she is the worst performer EVER.
I can't even talk about Stevie Wonder and the Jonas Brothers. I don' t even know where to begin. Pairing Legend with Fad is such an icky, uncreative marketing ploy.
Paul McCartney & Dave Grohl?
Okay, that one worked.
JT, TI, Drumline and The Cello Girls weren't bad. I liked Justin's scarf. And the cellos.
Smokey Robinson, Jamie Foxx, Ne-Yo and Duke Fakir... were actually very good. It was a nice tribute. And Ne-Yo really surprised me.
Mad props to Sugarland and Adele, who totally deserved their accolades for being phenomenal with little to no visible effort.
And to Coldplay-- who are adorable. And very talented.
Also, props to
- Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson, for looking like sleek, beautiful, old-school jazz singers.
- Kate Beckinsale, for being gorgeous and classy.
- Alison Krauss' amazing purple dress.
- Jack Black, for having a hilarious face.
- Moses Martin, for letting his dad borrow his shirt to wear to the Grammys.
- Adele and McCartney's drummer for blatantly chewing gum on stage.
- Jason Mraz, for attractive facial hair. And a very handsome hat.
- Carrie Underwood's rockin female guitar player.
- Radiohead, for bringing a marching band onstage.
- Christina Aguilera's Target Superhero Comic commerical
- The quartet of diversely talented guitarist gentlemen (including Keith Urban, John Mayer and BB King)
- And Justin Timberlake.
It's not over. But I'm done!
