Let it be stated right now that I do not condone award shows. Music award shows, in particular. Leaving it up to a bunch of old geezers to decide who is the “hottest” in the msic biz right now just does not sit well with me. Airing last night on CBS, the 52nd annual Grammys seemed more like a popularity contest than an award show. Of course talented artists should be recognized and awarded for their accomplishments, but is it really necessary for Beyonce to walk off the stage with at least five Grammys every year? Let some one else bask in the limelight, B!
Despite these negative feelings towards the Grammys, I still am a music-lover at heart and had to tune in for at least the first hour to watch some performances.
Lady GaGa, I have one word for you, SCARY.
Pink, I have one question for you, are you a singer or a body contortionist?
Beyonce, I have one comment for you, do something different!
I was just about to change the channel when Miley Cyrus (who thankfully did not win a Grammy), came onstage to introduce the Black Eyed Pea’s performance. Needless to say, the Peas completely stole the show. Fergie, Will.I.Am, Taboo and Apl.De.Ap created an energy onstage that viewers could feel through their televisions. I’m not kidding, I 100 percent admit to dancing around my room during their performance. The dynamic pop-group performed their new hit, Imma Be and the 2009 summer hit, I Gotta Feeling. Fergie, who is 11 years older than Lady GaGa, totally nailed her choreography and vocals making GaGa look like she was given the night off from her nursing home.
The Black Eyed Peas walked away with three Grammys last night including Best Pop Performance by a Duo or a Group and Best Pop Vocal Album. Alternative rock group, Kings of Leon, who have been making music for over 10 years were finally recognized for their talent and awarded the prestigious Record of The Year award as well as two other Grammys. That being said, the Grammys did not totally discriminate against different genres of music and some fairness was still left in tact.
