Grammy Blues.

I think the only thing right about the Grammys last night was Taylor Swift. She was beautiful like always. And even though Miley wasn't wonderful in their duet or Taylor's song "Fifteen"...it rocked more than the rest of the performances.
(I can't judge Kenny's performance because I was not in front of the TV at that moment.)
I would have loved Carrie Underwood's performance if the sound would have been right. You would think that with all the hype of the Grammys they could at least have the sound working properly. You could tell that she was giving it all, you just couldn't hear her. Even though her outfit was a little different, it matched her mic...so that was amazing to me. :)
I first have a bone to pick with whoever dresses Coldplay. Now, I'm not a huge fan of this group or their type of music, so I can't really judge their performance, but I do know fashion. And I can tell you that what they were wearing was NOT something that needed to be worn. Whoever they have dressing them needs to be fired. Maybe not just fired. They should be forced to stand in the middle of Times Square...naked...with a sign around their neck that says "Punch me. I rob good people of their fashion sense."
While I'm on the subject of Coldplay...what genre are they actually? Not rock. That isn't rock. I really don't know who thinks they are. But...maybe they should stand next to the naked stylists in Times Square.
Next...What in the hell were they thinking when they let M.I.A. perform on her due date??? Could you imagine the pain she had to have been going through? I've never been pregnant, so I'm probably not the best to say what she was feeling. All I know is that if her water had broken on stage it would have been mass confusion. What if she would have just popped right there in the middle of her performance. I don't think that the performance would have lost any of it's..."spunk"...if she wouldn't have been there. And the world would probably be a little better off if they wouldn't have seen that outfit they had her in. I felt bad for pregnant ladies everywhere. (Another candidate for the Times Square treatement.)
Let's go to the Group/Duo category. What is a Group or a Duo? It is two or more people singing in a group or a duo...right? Well...most people that know me know that I'm a HUGE Rascal Flatts fan and have been since before they were huge themselves. So I was, of course, pulling for them to win. Luckily for them...they are a group. They all sing. Not just Gary. But JoeDon and Jay actually sing on some of their songs. I don't know if you have ever watched Sugarland perform or heard them sing, but it is Jennifer Nettles singing and this guy playing a guitar. It is not a duo. Jennifer is a solo artist and she has a guitar player. I mean...who can even tell me that guitar players name? I know I can't. I'm sure Shania Twain has a guitar player but you didn't see her winning duo awards. So, I'm not very happy that Sugarland won the Group/Duo award. It was clearly Rascal Flatt's award and next year the Grammy people better have it right.
Now...what was up with Blink-182? Why do they think anyone would want them to come back? What are they going to contribute to the music industry? I don't think they're going to last very long this time around. I think people have grown out of that stage. They have grown up. Release an album if that's what you feel you need to do...then crawl back under your rock. I'm sure that won't bug anyone.
(I'm going to take a break in my Grammy rant to tell everyone that I hate my neighbor. His name is Tim. He sings. Wait, no...he doesn't sing. He screams. And sounds like some kind of ugly animal dying. One of these days I'm going to start belting out some country song and annoy the hell out of him. He is singing right now..."Baby, I'm sorry that I didn't go to your party!"...something like that. I have no idea. It's stupid. And he sucks.)
(Oh and did I mention that he wears tight girl pants. He and his emo girlfriend share pants I'm pretty sure.)
Ok...back to the Grammys.
Another thing that most people know about me is that I'm not a huge Allison Krauss fan. Am I the only one that had never heard of the song that she and What's -his-name did together? I don't even know the guy that she sang with. Every single other collaboration that was nominated was better than that song. They were all things that people had heard of AND they were just better. Period. THEN...they won best album? What? They had more songs together? Who bought that album? I've already mentioned that I don't like Coldplay, but I would have rather them won the award.

I think I'm done with that. I'm just ready for the Oscars. Hopefully they won't let me down.
