The return of Whitney Houston. I must say she looked stunning in her evening gown, trying to take it back to her youth with the split but I see you Whitney, go ahead now! I'm not sure if she had return-to-the-spotlight jitters or if she's still in the recovery stage, either way, I'm glad to see that she looks healthy.
So my boo Justin Timberlake and the legendary Al Green sang "Let's Stay Together". Oh and let's not forget the barely seen or heard Boys II Men in the background. The performance was not rehearsed but it was still enjoyable to hear a classic song.
We have Chris Martin on the piano, then Hova, Mr. Jay Z comes out rapping, knowing good and darn well he needed to get a haircut before the Grammys. Come on now J, work with me now. Wifey Beyonce for sure needed to upgrade you tonight. And while upgrading the hubby, she should've given Chris Martin a full length shirt and pants, shall I say his clothes were a little "young".
Jennifer Hudson, I almost cried when she accepted her award for Best R&B album and so did she. Her performance was touching as well. I was glad to see her in good spirits after her family tragedy. First an Oscar, now a Grammy! You go girl. And I see she has a nice little fiance, David, better known as "Punk" from I Love New York. New York's loss, Jennifer's gain I guess. Brotha is built and pretty easy on the eye so I say "HEYYY!"
"When you're 15 and someone tells you they love you, you're gonna believe them". UMMM NO. "My Bestfriend Taylor [Swift]" STOP LYING MILEY. For the record, I never believed the lies of some 15 year old, prepubescent boy, but I got the message of the song. My question: why the hell is a 16 year old GIRL named Miley dating a 20 year old MAN. Billy Ray and wife need to put that in check. I'm not sure what kind of parenting is poppin off over there. Apparently none. Miley should of stuck with her ex Jonas.
Speaking of the Jonas Brothers...they show off those virginal promise rings but they date enough Hollywood girls/women to make me wonder. I don't know what was up with the performance with Stevie Wonder. Did young Jonas forget the words to "Superstition" or get a fly stuck in his throat?
"I Kissed A Girl..." and...well no I didn't. Ms. Perry's fruity performance set was..well fruity (literal pieces of fruit, apples and bananas and such)...and I kinda liked it.
"Don't like those baggy jeans, but Ima like what's underneath them." -American Boy.
I heard that Estelle! She and Kanye's performance just came out of no where. And then it ended and they presented an award. Great transition Grammys *rolls eyes* Then Kanye of course had to drop a little smartalic line about not ever winning "Best New Artist".
Well not this year Kanye, Adele took the title this time. If you're not up on that "Chasing Pavements" check out her debut album "19". Her vocals were on point in her performance. :-)
Diddy in lavender...no comment.
"No one on the corner has swagger like us". The Rap Pack plus a fly Misses. Black and White reminiscent of the Rat Pack. M.I.A dressed in a polka-dot, maternity outfit, ready to pop, literally, she was suppose to have her baby the day of the Grammys. Kanye, Jay-Z, and T.I. dressed to impress and well Weezy was doing his own thing.
First off, WTF does Kanye think he is doing growing that pig tail in the back of his head. He is a grown man! My cousin had one of those in the early 90s. Come on Kanye.
T.I. good luck on that sentence mayne. And thank you Wezzy! I could actually understand what you were saying without the autotune or you giggling.
Once the performance was done it looked like Chris Martin learned over and said "Them mofos killed that". LMAO
Mr. John Mayer- Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Say". Sorry Mraz, Sorry Ne-Yo.
Radiohead with the drummers. Good Sound. I leave further evaluation to the experts.
Road to Redemption: T.I. and J.T.'s performance was good. Always a joy to see my boo. Enough said.
OBAMA, 2 Time Grammy Winner!!? Wow extra factoid of the night. Yes that's correct folks! Our President is a Grammy winner. Sidenote: We want a Secretary of Arts in the Cabinet!!!
MOTOWN!!! Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, the Legendary Smokie Robinson and a member of the Four Tops performed motown classics including "I Can't Help Myself". Yup that's right sugapie hunnybun!
B.B. King and John Mayer sang "Bo Diddley" in memory of thee Bo Diddley himself. (RIP Issac Hayes).
Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke (my second boo) performed the heart-felt, Hurricane Katrina inspired song "Tie My Hands". A great song and a great performance to help conclude the night. (Mardi Gras coming up February 24th).
Wezzy took home the Best Rap Album, he was so excited that he had to click his heels, luckily, he didn't kick the lady handing out the award. Even though he brought his mama and them on stage it was better than bringing a whole entourage of his homies.
Noteworthy: The Blind Boys of Alabama (more like men, all dressed in mother of pearl).
The Dynamic Duo, blond locks blowing in the fan, Robert Plant & Alison Krauss
won Album of the Year for Raising Sand. When I find out who they are, I'll let you know. Coldplay, Lil' Wayne, Ne-Yo and Radiohead definitely got gypped!
And Stevie Wonder closed the show...goodnight and good luck.
BUT WAIT! THE MAIN DRAMA OF THE NIGHT!!! YEP! SO WHERE WAS C-BREZZY AND RIHANNA.
SO APPARENTLY A FIGHT BROKE OUT IN THE LAMBO. A FEMALE CALLED THE POLICE SCREAMING ABOUT BEING ASSAULTED. CHRIS WAS ON THE RUN ( FACING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CHARGES) FROM THE POPO AND FINALLY SURRENDERED. HE ENDED UP POSTING A 50,000 DOLLAR BAIL AND LEFT WITH HIS LAWYERS. SOURCES SAY THAT BITE MARKS WERE ON THE "ALLEGED FEMALE'S" ARM AND BRUISES ON HER FACE. THE IDENITY OF THIS "ALLEGED FEMALE" IS UNKNOWN BUT WE'RE GUESSING IT'S RIH-RIH.
HER PUBLICIST SAYS: " RIHANNA IS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONCERN AND SUPPORT." SOUNDS SUSPICIOUS TO ME. I GUESS RIHANNA'S Breaking Dishes lyrics came to life, "Ima fight a man tonight, a man, a mee--eeee-- annnn".
WELL I DIDN'T THINK CHRIS HAD THE IKE TURNER DEMON IN HIM. MAYBE RIHANNA DIDN'T SING NUTBUSH LIKE HE TOLD HER TO. WE SHALL SEE. I'M NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS FOR CHRIS' ADORING FEMALE FANS (like myself) OR HIS UPCOMING ALBUM. SO I GUESS THIS MEANS THE COUPLE IS CALLING IT SPLITS-VILLE.
ALL JOKES ASIDE...VIOLENCE IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE ESPECIALLY FROM THOSE WHO CLAIM TO "LOVE" YOU.
WITH THAT SAID. Despite all the drama, GRAMMYS 09 was GOOD!
