the grammy performances, in my own words....

okay, i didnt start watching until 8pm.... but here goes...

the jonas brothers and stevie wonder- jaelynn loves these boys. and they pledge to remain sexually pure until marriage, so they get my vote. :) they have no fashion sense what so ever. and i am thinking that they will not be able to have children bc there pants are waaayy to tight-their sperm count must be zero...but they were decent.

katy perry-wtf. first of all, what was with the fruit? seriously. i was watching the grammy pre show and she made some comment about coming down from above in a 'phallic' symbol. how pathetic can you be. and the girl CANNOT sing live. any exertion on her part and she sounded horrible and she was SHOUTING the whole time. im sorry, but i thought was horrible.

kanye and estelle-i liked their little performance, however, can we talk about the outfits? kanye's hair? i know he's known for his walk on the wild side, but not.feeling.it. and estelle's little space suit get up? her stylist should be fired. stat. you could tell she was super nervous, but the girl can sing, and she did it live, props to her.

kenny chesney- did his thang. i dont know much cauntray, but he has a beautiful voice and the song was soulful. i love the violin, especially since i used to play...

jay-z,T-I, lil wayne, kanye, MIA-whoa. whoa. supposedly MIA was due today. it looked it. how ghetto do you get- 9 months pregnant, rapping on stage in a mini skirt with your midriff showing? and if jay-z is a part of it, you know there is no expense spared to make it top dollar.....it was pretty interesting. i couldnt take my eyes off of MIA, i was just waiting for her water to break. geesh.

i missed paul mc cartney bc emersyn was running around....

sugarland and adele-okay. ive never even heard of adele. and i know i dont live under a stone....hmmm?? when they introduced them they made it sound like they were performing together-and i love when two different types music perform and they didnt, and it was kinda boring. they both have great voices. and then they DID come together, for like 5 seconds. i was pretty disappointed. the 5 seconds they were together, they made amazing music. so it was pretty blah.

radiohead-there are no words. they were unbelievable. the marching band they had with them- was AWESOME. the lead singer-he may be a little strung out, but thats probably what adds to his character....

justin timberlake and T.I- i waited ALL night for this.... i LOVE just timberlake....he never disappoints...i like T.I, too, so i was super excited to see them together...i loved the orchestra ahhh. i loved all of it. my only wish was to see justin get up and dance.....i LOVE watching him dance. dreamy. but wait for it....(im typing as i watch) the boys on the steps drumming on the little thingys make up partially for it. i loved it.

*did you know barack obama has won 2 grammy awards? interesting tidbit i learned. dont ask me what for.*

neil diamond-ah...love him. sweet caroline is one of my all time favorite's of his....so naturally i sang along....and enjoyed every moment of his performance. i loved how he talked, and swayed....walked down the aisles...classic. and...of course the WHOLE crowd sang along.

john mayer, keith urban and 2 old jazz dudes- okay. sometimes i think john mayer is good looking. but tonight he looks like a monkey. but he can sure strum. they only played for like 1 minute. kinda weird. it wasnt really a song.

lil' wayne and i think they said robin thicke(?)-first of all, lil waynes shoes, i couldnt take him seriously. hehe. they were bigger than him. oh wait. this is serious stuff. he took his sunglasses off. he NEVER does that. hes SHOWING his eyes. his EMOTIONS. wow. thats deep. hes rapping about rebuilding new awlins. well, i think, i cant really understand him, but they are showing a video on the rebuilding of it. thats pretty cool. some dude alan trusseau ? is jammin on the piano. you know, lil wayne has gorgeous teeth. an interesting perfomance. the concept-about the rebuilding of new orleans was wonderful. it was a bit chaotic, but rappers always are....

alison kraus and robert plant-first of all, i must go back to the acceptance speech for their grammy they one. bc it was unacceptable. im not sure if they are on drugs or what, but it was really quite odd. seriously, im positive it will be talked about. i cant even explain it. anyway. the guy on the guitar was a giant. he scared me. but the song was lovely. they sing lovely together. but allison krauss seemed really off. very flat in her mood. hm.

oh oh. final grammy of the night. album of the year.....cold play, lil wayne, ne-yo, radiohead, alison kraus and robert plant....what a diverse group!!! alison kraus and robert plant won.....once again-the reaction is blah. i mean, they arent even excited it seems. whatever.

well, thats it folks. sorry if this post bores you, just dont read it :). night!

Totally agree with you on your observations. And M.I.A, did we really have to wear big polka dots on your tummy and butt and tights. And I loved loved loved the T.I and Justin act, the drummers really did set it off.
