2010 GRAMMYs: the Good, the Bad, the Ugly
February 1st, 2010 by: Ana
I will start off by saying that this is 100% my opinion on the 2010 GRAMMYs last night. If you disagree with anything I say, please feel free to share in the comments below. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Rather than do a “play by play analysis” of what went on at the GRAMMYs last night, since I’m sure you can find that elsewhere on the Internets, I thought I’d go through and list the good, the bad and, of course, the ugly:
The Good:
- Stephen Colbert.
- Lady Gaga and Elton John performing together with dirt (or something) smeared all over their faces.
- Slash coming out on stage to play his solo from “November Rain.”
- Beyonce performing a cover of Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughtta Know.” I thought she did the song justice and it was definitely better than her own song about being a boy.
- Kings of Leon finally getting some cred., even though many will say they “sold out.” Pish posh.
The Bad:
- Stephen Colbert. No, seriously. What was up with his lame jokes?
- Miley Cyrus … even if it was for 3 minutes.
- Taylor Swift winning album of the year. Putting aside the fact that I’m not particularly keen on teeny bopper music, I just truly TRULY cannot wrap my mind around the fact that she won. Did a bunch of 35-50 year old men and women sit in a conference room and suddenly decide that “You Belong With Me” really hit home? That finally someone understands them? Someone please explain …
The Ugly:
- Some random dude repeatedly telling us that Lady Gaga is “a monster.” It just became really awkward at some point.
- Slash playing his solo for “November Rain” during a performance of “Blame It.” Who comes up with these ideas and how?
- Every lame ass joke that someone said last night including the whole dialogue between John Legend and Carlos Santana.
I wasn’t sure where to fit this in exactly, but I still felt that I had to say: when did Pink join Cirque du Soleil?!
