Give Me Awards.

So since I got sucked in and watched the whole thing I have some closing thoughts about the Grammys before I move on with my life:

  • Best dressed: 3. Miley, 2. Selena Gomez, 1. Cee Lo Green.
  • BIGGEST SUPRISE - BRUNO MARS actually has a big ole voice in him. He should have put out that doo woppy version of Grenade, that was enjoyable.
  • Way to remember the words Xtina. American Idol still beasted you. 
  • All eyez were on GAGA. I'm glad she delivered once again a solid LIVE vocal. And yes I think it sounds like Express Yourself. I think it's supposed to. If she was trying to be ambiguous about paying tribute to Madonna she would have been a littlleee bit more subtle about it. Plus Madonna already called Gaga and said she loved it, Rolling Stone liked it, read Perez. Gah! 
  • And the vessel thing wasn't as weird as I thought she was gonna be; that actually looked awesome. POLL: If you're Lady Gaga in that egg (IT'S A VESSEL!!) are you napping or playing angry birds? 
  • BIEBER FEVER. I HAVE IT. DEAL WITH IT! HE WAS ROBBED?!?! ! WHO IS ESPERANZA?!?!?! WHO IS SHE??!?!?! 
  • Cee Lo + Puppets made my night. Gwennie wasn't as bad as I thought but I still think she was unnecessary. 
  • Best award acceptance quip of the night = Matthew Bellamy on Kate Hudson: "I'd also like to thank UMMMMM my beautiful.... pregnant girlfriend over there (awkward laughter and head scratching)"
  • I hate most country music with a few random exceptions. That doesn't mean I get what just happened with Lady Antebellum. Dannnnnnngg. I reckon even I have to admit that song is catchy as all hell. It's a quaaarrttterrrrr afterrrrr ONEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE...
  • What do you think Jada Pinkett and Will Smith do with their untalented children? Drop them in West Philly to fend for themselves? Because Willow Smith is like 20 months old and she and her brother are adorable and he's up there pop and locking at the Grammy's. How cute was that?
  • That rap jawn was explosive. Eminem was awesome. Dr. Dre was awesome. Rihanna can sing her ass off. Drake was awesome. Awesome.
  • I want Mick Jagger's EMERALD coat. MINE!
  • HOLY SHIT MOMENT: BOB DYLAN, MUMFORD AND SONS AND AVETT BROTHERS 
  • THIS JUST IN: BOB DYLAN, MUMFORD AND SONS AND AVETT BROTHERS FORM NEW SUPER GROUP CALLING NO FOLKING WAY!
  • I HATE Katy Perry. People think I should like her but she really irritates me. 1. She was rude to Kara DiaGuardi when she guest judged on Idol 2. She's not really that great at singing. 3 and 4 She is pretty and I will still dance to her with fury when Firework comes on, phhhine. But I don't like her and you can't make me even if she makes me dance sometimes on accident...........
  • Last but not least, Arcade Fire. OOOOOOOOO.M.G. The Suburbs deserved Album of the Year more than anyone but I really didn't see that coming! I sat there and started hopping in my seat and clapping all Paul Abdul/seal-like (the animal NOT the awesome singer) when they did that encore- trying to figure out if they were supposed to do that. O Hey, now, rocknroll ;) Whether you are new or oldly acquainted to Arcade Fire, please enjoy this. Regardless I leave you with this:
