Overall I thought the Grammys were disorganized, overrated, boring, and predictable. Except for album of the year. I bet you twenty bucks the Recording Academy switched it up last minute just to piss off Kanye. Well played. I would have been SO miserably bored if I was in the audience! I could just picture myself squirming in my seat like a two year old in church on Easter Sunday in my uncomfortable poofy dress, pleading with moms to let us leave early (yup, I was a heathen early on).
For once I actually approved of Kanye's arrogance and obnoxious demands. Everyone knew he was going to mention his mother; the music playing mid-speech was silly. But of course Ye went too far when he said his mom wanted him to be the number one artist in the universe and he'd make that happen. Did she really say in the universe? Really Ye? My word.
The hype about Amy W was a bit unsettling. I mean, why are we all waiting on pins and needles to see a real live crackhead perform via satellite? Natalie Cole hit the nail on the head: http://perezhilton.com/2008-02-11-quote-of-the-day-161
And who knew a petite Jewish girl from London would give the most ghetto acceptance speech outside of the BET hip hop awards? I almost fell on the floor when she shouted out her husband in lock-up. ps: was she performing at an actual venue or did they just clear out the cafeteria at her rehab facility? I'm betting on the latter.
Let's see what else. I liked B's new lacefront. The dress was a lil too costumey for me. But I blame it on mama Tina.
I loved Nas and Kelis' outfits! What other couple could pull off such a statement? If they aren't the Zack and Kelly for the hip-hop set I don't know who is. I'm totally re-creating their look for Halloween. I already have the wig from last year's Rihanna costume. Now to find me a Nas...
Back to the books.
Smooches!
