Grammy Observations

A few observations from the first hour of the Grammy's. Once the Jonas Brothers started performing, I knew it was time to turn it off. I just don't get them. I don't think any of them are cute at all. Kind of creepy, younger, unattractive versions of Tom Hanks. And they don't know what they are doing. They didn't even know the lyrics to "Superstitious." Seriously, Stevie Wonder must have been thinking, "What in the hell did I do to deserve this? Who are these pre-pubescent boys I've been forced to sing with?" God bless him. 

Here are a few more thoughts about last night:

1. Why were Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian there? Neither of them have anything to do with music. Unless being in your own crappy reality show and having your own sex tape now means you are also a musician? 

2. Does anyone realize that Jennifer Hudson's fiance was a contestant on "I Love New York???" Granted, he was one of the most normal people on that show, but STILL! I still can't wrap my mind around this. Jennifer is a gorgeous diva and "New York" is, well, a dude. 

3. I love Coldplay, but every time I saw Chris Martin on stage, I wondered why he couldn't afford to get a longer shirt. The shirt he was wearing was like a little boy's tee, so every time he lifted his arms, you could see a white, hairy Englishman's tummy. Yech. 

4. Why is Miley Cyrus famous? I understand her appeal even less than I understand the Jonas Brothers. I don't think she's very cute and she can't sing worth crap. I adore Taylor Swift and love the song they performed together last night, but Miley completely ruined it. Seriously, she was shouting the whole time, I thought my ears were going to bleed. Every time she talks I just want to cringe. If you don't know what I'm talking about, check out her appearance on Ellen a few months back. 

5. I think George Strait is one of the most ridiculously good-looking men out there. Sure, he's in his 50's. But come on, the man is handsome! Not to mention talented. I can't believe he won his FIRST Grammy last night! He's had over 50 number one hits for Pete's sake!
