the Grammy roundup
Last night’s Foo Fighters’ performance:
here are some random thoughts about last night’s grammy awards…
- The Time doing “Jungle Love” mashed up with “Umbrella” was a bit underwhelming don’tcha think?
- Carrie Underwood in a catsuit? simply marvelous. thank you.
- Even though I’m a lifetime Beatles fan, I wasn’t really sure why the Grammys needed to pay tribute to the Beatles yet again. The Cirque du Soleil performance of “A Day in the Life” was “meh”. The “Across the Universe” version of “Let it Be” was pretty good though.
- They’re gonna have to stop with the Yoko Ono camera shots whenever the Beatles are mentioned or else expect a worldwide “Pavlov’s Dog” reaction. blech.
- that Foo Fighters’ performance rocked. definitely more memorable than any other part of the evening at that point.
- Aretha Franklin in a yellow sleeveless gown. not the best of visuals there.
- wow. Israel Houghton and New Breed only getting a minute and half performance time. well, it’s better than nothing I guess.
- Rhapsody in Blue is always a crowd pleaser.
- I was holding my breath during the whole Amy Winehouse performance hoping it wouldn’t be a complete trainwreck. she did fine. thank God.
- Wow. Herbie Hancock winning album of the year? there’s a head scratcher for ya.

Kanye, what an ASS...and Vince Gills comment to him was priceless. Loved the Foos and Amy did great...I do think she should stick with Rehab and maybe eat some food.
