WTF!!!!!!!!! Herbie won Album of the year???? Over Kanye or Amy Winehouse? Come on now. Yes, he’s a jazz legend but freakin Album of the year! As Amy said, NO! NO! NO! The Grammy’s are so random. Brother is 0-3 with this award. They give him awards in every other category, but he can’t get Album of the Year for nothing. He’s like the Grammy version of Susan Lucci. But his performance was excellent. I was tearing up when he did “Hey Mama”. At least Kanye didn’t pitch a fit this time, unlike this after the MTV Awards:
As for the other peformances on the show, I enjoyed Tina and Beyonce although Tina ain’t what she use to be. I was concerned she was gonna fall out from all that dancing. But shoot, isn’t she almost 70? So really, she was excellent. I hope to look that good and be able to keep up with 26 year-olds when I’m here age. Amy was great too, although I thought she sounded a little congested when she would sing “no, no, no” on Rehab. I also loved Alicia’s performance with John Meyer. I stan for John Meyer. “Daughters” is absolutely my favorite song by him. Plus he has a wicked sense of humor which I love in a man. As for the Rhianna and The Time peformance, um….well they could have just let The Time peform and let Ms. Barbados sit down. She added absolutely nothing to that performance. I’ve seen the Time live and they put on a show.
Oh, and a confession, I didn’t actually see all of the Grammy’s last night. Look, I am almost 40 with a 20 month old busy body child. The fact that I stayed awake long enough the first hour was a minor miracle. I actually, caught the clips on You Tube. Thank God for technology!
