Grammy Awards wins the Award
I don’t know anybody who watched the Grammy’s last night who was not entertained – Mick Jagger strutted and performed a Solomon Burke tune (read: yo for you), Eminem & Rihanna singing Love The Way You Lie and just watching Eminem stroll out and start rapping as if that is the only form of communication he knows (powerful), but my absolute favorite was the old school performance by Bruno Mars with B.o.B and Janelle Monae of Mars’ song Grenade – that is what hooked me in – brought me back to the days when music made you want to get up off the couch and shake a groove thing. And cutie pie Justin Bieber, what can I say?
And speaking of old school, Kris Kristoferson presenting Babs to sing Evergreen – oh my, took me back in time.
Just so you don’t think it was all oldies but goodies, Arcade Fire was fabulous – punk rockish fresh energy rip roaring.
The Grammys were fabulous this year – just like a music award show should be – what is most unfortunate is that typical of CBS they locked up the content so you couldn’t get it anywhere else – not even on their own website afterwards – HELLO CBS, welcome to the new mash up – we’re looking to pick it up on the internet as we are watching it, we’re looking to talk about it, write about it – but you are holding that content captive foolishly.
