Representation of 50 was weak

Sunday night was supposed to be the hottest night in music and in all honesty it was not that hot. After 50 years you would think that Grammy’s would have been spectacular and though in my heart I would love to say it was I can not lie it was truly weak. However, there were moments of greatness in the show and even a moment I am calling my rewind moment. So Kanye West was hot his performance was totally out of this world and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The song he sang for his mother was moving if only it had moved him as much as us. I wish I could say the same of his acceptance speech. We all know that a few months back Kanye lost his Mother in a tragic medical mishap and let’s face it we all expected some tears from him when he accepted his award. OH how wrong we were he was cocky and in all honesty distasteful in his sheer thoughts of greatness. I would say his Mom was looking down from heaven thinking boy I raised you better then that. Come on Kanye you could have given us at least one tear. It took an old school country fool Vince Gill to put the ego inflated Kanye in his place. When Vince accepted his award he said “I just got an award presented to me by a Beatle. Have you had that happen yet, Kanye?” It was by far the most fabulous moment and thus my rewind moment. It was so good I had to see it again. There were other spectacular moments like Tina Turner and Beyonce. If only we could all move like that at age 68. Alicia Keys was amazing that girl can truly blow and when John Mayer came out it ROCKED. Another set of amazing voices was Josh Groban who performed with Andrea Bocelli. These are two men who when they open their mouths to sing you can feel it in your soul. I have to say though I was completely disappointed in the Kid Rock and Keely Smith song it was just weird. The same goes for Feist I liked her much better in her target commercial…how sad is that! Did you guys realize that the very first Rap Grammy went to Fresh Prince and DJ Jazzy Jeff in 1988 for Parents just don’t understand…the irony of that is now they are the parents! So overall the Grammy’s left us wanting more for our three and a half hours of viewing but I will tell you who made the entire show worth watching and that was Amy Winehouse. DAMN that girl can blow. I don’t know what it is about her perhaps her quirky moves or her big bouffant hairstyle but that girl draws you in and makes you want more. Amy ended up winning five awards for Best New Artist, Best Pop Vocal Album, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best Pop Vocal Performance. I say she deserved them hands down. Sure she is troubled and finally said yes yes yes to rehab but she still RAWKED it tonight!
