Subject: The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards

Written By: Tam on 01/31/10 at 7:41 pm

I don't know how many people still watch these awards - I haven't watched in a few years that's for sure.

Well, I am now completely disgusted!

It opened with Lady Gaga and Elton John - good performance. I had no idea that Gaga had sampled Elton's "Your Song" so that was kind of cool.

Now, Taylor Swift has won another award! That little twit needs to get up and thank Kanye for getting her all these awards! I swear that if it weren't for him cutting her off like he did, she wouldn't be winning all the crap that she is!

And Beyonce!!!!!!!!!!!! I have never liked her from the word go, but tonight she really pissed me off!!! How dare she try and sing "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette!! Beyonce RUINED it! Twit didn't even know the right words!!!! I am beyond mad!!!

Ok, off now to watch P!nk sing!

P!nk was awesome! That woman has changed so much from when she first came out! I can't ever get enough of her!

Black Eyed Peas just performed. I liked that they actually sang their songs instead of lipsyncing, although they were a little late...

Sucks that the CBSHD channel isn't really broadcasting in HD - they are using wide screen! Blows with the new tv but it is still somewhat better than trying to watch it on the regular channel!!! ;)

Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks! Could have done without Taylor though! Haha! I am a b!tch! ;D

Michael Jackson receives the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Celine Dion, Usher, Kerry Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smoky Robinson sing The Earth Song along with MJ.
3-D video that was to be on show at his concerts was shown for the first time as well.

Then Paris and Prince Michael accept their father's award.
Prince sounds just like his dad and poor Paris tripped over her words... Michael is rolling over in his grave because his children are yet again on tv!!!

So it looks like the 'Record Of The Year' went to Kings Of Leon for "Use Somebody." That's one category I'm always most interested about.


I am glad Colbie Caillat won something: best Pop Collaboration With Vocals, for her duet with Jason Mraz, "Lucky."

I don't think she sampled your song... she might have but I don't think so... this totally feels like a Glee influence.... Glee does this thing called mashups where they take two different songs and perform them together as tho they are one song...they go in and out of the two songs during the performance...

that's what beyonce was doing as well...

Weird.

Okay I'm just going to say it I do not get Lady Gaga... I'm not saying she can't sing but I'm not a big fan of her songs and the whole weirdness of her pretty much makes me just want to turn off the tv everytime I see her on it.

found the Little Wayne, Eminem, Aubrey Graham performance...


I FREAKING LOVE EMINEM!  wonder if there's an unedited version of this performance anywher  ::)


Okay so I knew Aubrey Graham was seeking out a rap career but I had no clue he's been successful.... And no clue he was going by Drake...guess I should pay more attention... wonder if they'll bring Jimmy back to Degrassi to rap at the prom or something.  ;D

The Earth Song is one of my favorite MJ songs ever! It's a shame I don't have my 3-D glasses for that scene!  :( But I enjoyed it nonetheless!

Rihannon is one of my fave Fleetwood Mac songs!

I seen that this years Grammy's broadcast bought in a 14.3 rating its highest rating since 2004. I guess when you have popular acts like Lady GaGa, Beyonce, and Taylor Swift you can get a high rating like that. However looking through the Grammy's rating since 1974 I think it was the Grammy's are still not as popular as they were in the 70's,  80's, and 90's, an the early part of the 00's. Interestingly enough the Grammy's had a terrible rating in 1995 with an 11.3 rating.

Interestingly, I had never paid any attention to Taylor Swift until the Kanye West incident.  And I actually really like her.  I always figured she was a Miley Cyrus-esque performer, but I think she's actually really talented and beautiful.

And I've loved Beyonce since Destiny's Child.  Come ON you guys...it's BEYONCE.  8)  She is incredible!!!

ditto, Taylor is an average singer, as is Lady Gaga.  Stevie looked great and sang well, whereas taylor was flat, I mean she sang the notes flat  ::)  on the Fleetwood Mac song.

I will give you that Taylor has a nice voice but at least two of the songs she has out right now sound way to similar. I liked her for about a week after the Kanye thing....then for about a week and half after the oprah interview but the radios just overexposed her so I'm over it...

Beyonce is beyonce and I love Destiny's Child- but Beyonce herself exudes this arrogance that screams Dont hate me because I am Beyonce  ;D
Honestly it doesn't come out in her interviews and her acting has improved tremendously but when she performs its like OMG I hate you!  Sorry Ash its just the vibe she gives off... I will listen to her any day I just don't want to have to watch her perform.  :)

I watched the Grammys for three reasons.

1--To see Lady Gaga (check)

2--Make sure Boobyonce didn't break Michael Jackson's record of 8 Grammys in one night (she didn't and check)

3--See the MJ tribure (which sucked, one song! >:( ) and to see hsi kids accept for him. (check)

And I turned the channel after #3  :) Cause the PROMO for the MJ tribute was more exciting than the real thing. It was about as exciting as ME getting up there and singing "Earth Song". Paris said Michael was supposed to perform. Gosh I wish he'd been alive cause I know he'd have turned that show on it's ear!

Justin Bieber is a 15 year old pop/R&B singer from Ontario, Canada.  In 2009, he had 4 Top 40 hits in both the US and Canada before his debut album was even released.  Young girls, and even some guys apparently, go gaga over him LOL

Beginning in January 2010, he's now had 4 hits in the UK.  15, and he's got all this money and success.  When I was 15, I was crapping my pants LOL

It occurred to me for the first time while I was listening to Beyonce sing "If I Were a Boy" what a man-hating, male-bashing song it is.  >:(

To top it all off, she even stuck in a verse from Alanis Morrisette's "You Oughta Know" in the middle to to emphasize the excoriation of bad boyfriends.

Talk about mean spirited!  >:(
