and the grammy goes to--simpsons christmas boogie?!?!
Watching award shows with
chootoy makes it all less painful. I must remember that.
So, the boys. They looked pretty together, man. And although I like the "Jive Talkin'" arrangement better, I figured they needed to have slower and more introspective songs for this particular event. And yes, they were off in a couple places, but--for people who haven't sung together in a year, and who were performing cover songs in front of the family of a deceased musical idol and a whackload of their peers and everybody who tuned in to watch? They did pretty damn good. Standing ovation, at any rate. I wish there'd been some audience shots of them, but apparently at the Grammies it's more important to focus on Faye Dunaway and Kim Cattrall. Meh.
I have nothing but mean words about Avril, Eminem, Bruce Springsteen, and Sheryl Crow, and therefore I will end this now. Oh, and Faith Hill and Ashanti don't escape my wrath either. I'm just a fucking ball of hate, man. *g*

--Avril is a stupid little poser who has no concept of how to connect with her audience, purely because she can't be bothered. And why should she, when everybody tells her how brilliant she is anyway? Plus, her singing fucking sucks.
--Eminem shouldn't be given any more awards. His indifferent behaviour bothers me; if he doesn't care about awards, then somebody else should get them. Plus, didn't the announcer claim that we were going to "see Eminem as we've never seen him before"? All we got was a lacklustre performance. Why were The Roots his backup?
--Bruce Springsteen looked like he was passing a kidney stone. Sounded like it, too.
--Sheryl Crow has an unerring talent for hitting the exact pitch that makes my eardrums thrum painfully and try to curl in on themselves. She also soured the milk in my fridge. And her fake & bake scares me.
-- Faith Hill sweated like a fucking crackwhore and had no clue what key she was supposed to be singing in, so she just shouted her way through the song and hoped nobody would notice.
--Ashanti sucks. Always has, always will. Her performance was the fucking corniest thing of the night, with her off-key, deadened warbling and the see-through dress and the stupid bloody children cawing along with her at the end. If she's the Next! Big! Thing!, I hope the world ends soon.
--And for good measure, Dave Grohl's smugness fucking annoys me. His acceptance speech should've been, "Thanks for offing yourself, Kurt--now everybody loves ME! ME ME MEEEEE!!!" And was Chris Martin having a fit of demon possession during his performance? Oh, and Kelly Rowland didn't smoke a fucking huge pipeful of weed before the performance, oh no. She's just naturally glazed, like a ham.
...wow, that came with alarming ease. Thanks for the encouragement to spew vitriol, sweetie. *mwah*!!

Avril Lavigne, bores me to death. Love the suit, kid. You're so original...Forwarded through most of the performance.
Missed Emimen in action because I didn't end up watching that far. I don't like how he performs so I don't really care. The Roots were his back up band? Wtf? I would have really like a Musiq/The Roots performance. That would be sweet.
Bruce Springteen. Forwarded through.
Sheryl Crow. Didn't watch. Don't care. Hate her.
Faith Hill can't sing to save her life. I think she was hoping people would be too busy checking out her dress, than listening to her screech through her song...Forwarded through most of the performance.
For the love of God Ashanti, get a slip. Now. And the widespread legs, that's just class, right there. Also, shut up. Corniest performance ever. Forwarded through most of the performance.
Dave Grohl's (Foo Fighters) acceptance speech? Forwarded through.
The Grammy's are always delightful.

The thing with Eminem is, I do kind of like his music--but every time I see him, he does something that irritates me. Which, I suppose, is his schtick, but bleh. Irks me.
And the widespread legs, that's just class, right there.
aaaahhahah! Ashanti wouldn't know class if it burrowed in between her mindless, zombie eyes and took up residence in the gaping space where her brain should be.

Ahahahahaha! My thoughts almost exactly except I was thinking hernia, not kidney stones. Singing should not cause that much pain--if it hurts, stop!

Re:
And I agree with all of it. Especially Faith Hill, who a)looked fucking terrible and b)sounded worse.
I turned the channel during Avril, Ashanti, and Bruce. And Sheryl. and Foo Fighters for that matter.
And you're so right about Eminem. Put on a damn suit, smile, and accept your awards graciously, Marshall, or don't show up at all. His performance was the same as always.
Hopefully, someday, Avril will look back of this part of her life and die of embarrasment and shame.

Hey, kids, being jaded is no longer cool. Take your lessons from Norah. Or else just shut the fuck up.
don't forget...
The night was not a total write off, we had a couple of good laughs at the expense of some pretentious celebrities and got to see the five members of *NSync performing as one.
