- Tonight, I am watching the 54th Grammy Awards Show, hosted by LL Cool J. Since I would rather listen to a book than music, I don't pay much attention to what's hot on iTunes. Watching the annual Grammys is how I find out who is who. I am going to critique the show, and the performers. Well for as long as I stay awake that is.
- Bruno Mars was the first act. I have heard the name, but have never seen him perform. He was throughly entertaining. I would buy his album.
- Next was Bonnie Rait and Alica Keys. They did a tribute to Etta James. I would download that one.
- They gave an award to Adele. I don't know who she is but she has an English accent. Yes I do live under a rock.
- The next performer was Chris Brown. I don't know his music and really didn't enjoy his performance.
- Marc Antony and Fergie were the next presenters. Best Rap Performance. JZ & Kayne West for "Otis".
- Reba is up next to introduce Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson singing "Don't You Want To Stay". I like Kelly Clarkson, never heard of Jason Aldean. Their duet was okay, wouldn't download it.
- Great Target Commercial! Alouette
- Jack Black introduces Foo Fighters - Who? Too much guitar and I couldn't understand the words that the singer was screaming. I guess it's what's called Hard Rock, Heavy Metal?
- Rihanna and Cold Play perform. She is laying on the stage singing. I don't get it. Okay she is up and working it out. I think she is saying " We found love in a hopeless place?"
- Chris Martin from Cold Play with Rihanna sing "Princess of China" then
- Cold Play band perform "Paradise" - Nope not a fan of either.
- NCIS's Paulie Perrett and Giants Mario Mannhingham & Victor Cruz present best rock performance "Walk" by the foo fighters.
- Commercial featuring Willie Nelson who performs the "The Scientist" the soundtrack from the short film entitled "Back to the Start". If you download the song on iTunes, the proceeds benefit the Chipotle Cultivate Foundation.
- Ryan Seacrest introduce Maroon 5 celebrating the beach boys "Surfer Girl" & "Wouldn't it Be Nice"
- The Beach Boys sing "Good Vibrations" Gosh they are old.
- Stevie Wonder introduces Paul McCartney Joe Walsh "My Valentine".
- Didn't get the names of the presenters but the Best R&B Album - Chris Brown.
- The Civil Wars ???? Had to google - duo of Joy Williams and John Paul White.
- Taylor Swift sings "Mean" Was this about Kayne West?
- Funny McDonalds Ad about some old dudes trying to pick up a woman.
- Neil Patrick Harris Presents Paul Epworth Producer Song of the Year to Paul Epworth Producer and singer Adele Atkins for "Rolling in the Deep".
- Kate Beckinsale and LL Cool J introduce Katie Perry - performs "Part of Me". Over produced, too Lady GaGa for me.
- Miranda Lambert Dierks Bentely present best country album Winner Lady Antebellum.
- Gweneth Paltrow introduces Adele she sings "Rolling In the Deep" She got quite an ovation.
- Taylor Swift- Tribute to Glen Campbell The band Perry performs "Gentle on my Mind".
- Blake Shelton sings "Southern Nights".
- Glen Campbell has Alzheimer's sings "Rhinestone Cowboy". That was touching.
- Carrie Underwood is joined by Tony Bennett to sing a duet "It Had To Be You." You go Tony.
- The best new artist Boniver - really never heard of him.
- The president of the Grammys - tribute to those who died this year.
- Jennifer Hudson pays tribute to Whitney Houston.
- Tribute to Don Cornelius With Today's dance music. Foo Fighters and Chris Brown. Guess I haven't been dancing lately. "Let's do the Twist." "Anyone?" This "dancing" looks like all they are doing is jumping up and down. I guess there isn't much difference between twisting back and forth and jumping up and down.
- Okay now there is a Mickey Mouse head, hey why is everyone mouse ears? Wow I don't get it! I am so out of touch.
- Drake introduces Niki Minaj An exorcism? Stained glass windows, church, she is in manacles. I thought today's dance music was a little out there. This is way too weird for me. I guess it is supposed to be very irreverent? The song is "Roman Holiday"????
- Lady Antebelium presents record of the year. "Rolling in the Deep" by Adele
- Dina Ross presents the album of the year "21" by Adele.
So after watching the Grammy Awards, I remember why I don't have any music on my iPod. I'd rather listen to a good book.
But if anyone has a few recommendations I would be willing to listen.
