The earlier posts were all the good things about last night's Grammys broadcast, but you knew we couldn't just leave it at that! So, here are all the wack ass parts I left out:
- Fergie was trying to hard to be a real singer with that piano ballad. She just doesn't have the chops. And John Legend was her accompanist? He's just too talented for that. On a good note, Ferg looked very classy, and for once the restalyne in her face didn’t scare me shitless. Nice.
- Kid Rock performed. Enough said.
- The Beatles/ Cirque du Soleil thing was a dirty, shameless plug. It almost ruined "Day In the Life" for me forever. And as if that weren’t enough, they just had to bring out a big black woman and a gospel choir during “Let It Be,” just to drive the point home. As if the Cirque du Soleil part didn’t tip you off to how corny it was.
- Feist was actually pretty good, but waaaay too obsessed with her own indie-ness. Performing pigeon-toed on a shag carpet is a bit much, no? I also didn’t know she has serious old face! She’s too rickety to be trying to pull that cutesy act. Haul it back to Canadia with that mess. That’s right, I said Canadia!
- Cab Calloway's well-deserved lifetime award was long overdue. Shameful.
- Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban sang well (I happen to like opera, thank you), but I’m sure it gave all of the middle-aged women in my hometown too much satisfaction. So, WACK!
- Obama video aside, sometimes I wish will.i.am would just disappear. His performance at the end of the show was pointless. He is a shitty rapper (but a great producer). He’s always just this side of coonery. And he makes me spell his name in the stupidest way possible; with punctuation and shit all in between the letters, devoid of capitalization. Are you fucking serious? Please go home with that Dr. Seuss bullshit, WILLIAM!
So that's it. There's my take on Grammys 2008. Hope it made your Monday a little more tolerable!
P.S. No, I will not be doing this for the Oscars. That shit is too boring.

i disagree about the beatles part! it was so good...even though i'm not sure about cirque du soleil; it seems like even if you see the whole thing you probably dont know what the f is going on so just a clip literally was just confusing.
but the main part you're wrong about is the black woman with the gospel choir:
1. she was probably the best singer in the whole show
2. one of my life dreams is to be IN a gospel choir, so don't hate!
