The Grammys have been around for 52 years, and I have maybe watched it once. I love music- not too fond of award shows. Plus, I don’t really like to hear musicians and singers SPEAK. Nine times out of ten, it ruins the whole lovely image I have of them in my head.
So, I wasn’t too broken up about the fact our TV wasn’t hooked up yet in our new house, and I was going to be missing the show. As it turns out- I feel like I pretty much got the gist of it from sitting on my couch and perusing my twitter stream. So, here’s my Grammy Wrap Up! From someone who didn’t watch a second of it!
Please note: I did not click on any links to photos or websites that appeared in my stream. I also have not googled, or watched any news shows about the Grammys. My wrap up is based solely on the opinions of my tweeps- and they’re probably right.
- Taylor Swift’s album Fearless won album of the year, even thought she looked like a Who from Whoville and sang off key.
- Someone wore a wicker dress, and one made out of soda pop tops.
- Lady GaGa was a cross between the Statue of Liberty, an alien, and the entire orbiting Universe.
- She also got robbed.
- Silversun Pickups and MGMT somehow disguised themselves as “New Artists”.
- The sound kept cutting in and out on Lil Wayne and Eminem. No bleeps, just silence. I can only imagine it was some kind of abstract tribute to AT&T wirless.
- Lady Antebellum sounded great and I’m sure at least 75% of people watching liked them so much, they googled them to find out who they were.
- Beyonce channeled a censored version of Alanis Morrisette.
- She also made history with 6 wins for the night. Beyonce was, and always will be a drag queen’s dream.
- There was a tribute to Michael Jackson that was strangely devoid of any dancing. No moonwalk. That’s a crime.
- Little Prince and Paris looked beautiful, but the world was reminded once again how very white those kids are.
- Pink wore a dress that made her look like a very sexy Jesus.
- She also brought the house down, and raised the bar for all wet, naked, upside down, singing, acrobats everywhere.
That’s it in a nutshell. Is it accurate? I don’t know, I didn’t watch the freakin’ thing.
You tell me.
