Grammy Live Blog Part Ten

Ah, now Sugarland and Adele come and knock the HipHop Summit out of the Bronze position, but not as good as J-Hud breaking my heart or Al Green being Al Green, even with Justin Timberlake trading off vocals. Sorry, Kanye, I’ll make it up to you another Grammys.
By the way, I’m way too pumped now [...]

Grammy Live Blog Part Nine

Okay, ” Swagga Like Us” is now in bronze medal position behind Golden Al and Silver Jenny.
Jack Black and Charlie Hayden, with Jack kissing ass to the F.I.L. ( didn’t know that, how’d I miss it?) Another Grammy Lifetime Achievement award, then we get best male pop vocal winner John Mayer comes up. The guy [...]

Grammy Live Blog Part 7

Heh, the Bonus Jonas ( I’m paying attention to the ads- Big Bang Theory looks awesome tomorrow night, which airs after 2 1/2 Men due to the Presidential press conference. In a Craig Ferguson promo, Craig called himself the fourth Joni. Hee.)
Morgan Freeman, still recovering from his car crash last year, bringing out Kenny Chesney. [...]

Grammy Live Blog Part 6

It’s still Rev. Al and J. Hud for the win.
Craig Ferguson, who was on my husbands list at one point, cracking me up. He’s presenting Katy Perry, who launches into ” I Kissed A Girl”. She decends in a banana. Her live vocal is obviously live as it sucks donkey balls,  but she’s a charming [...]

Grammy’s Live Blog Part Four

Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus together? Ew. My daughter is in heaven, though, she adores them both. Neither girl is great vocally live, as they both have rather thin voices, but they seem to be accrediting themselve pretty well, considering. My daughter just reminded me she’s only four years from fifteen. Argh! Not bad, girls. [...]

Grammy’s Live Blog Part 3

So, okay, still thinking that Al Green is winning the night, as whatever, Coldplay didn’t blow me away ( they rarely do in the live situation, go figure).
Rev. Al and Duffy? Sure, make more sense than most pairings. Oooh, get the rev. to sing, that’s my girl, Duffy. No, don’t you start, too, girl. Not [...]

Grammy’s Live Blog Part Two

So far, only one award went out, and it was to my fave Jennifer Hudson. But as usual, CBS trots out their TV stars to shill and announce, and Simon Baker ( The Mentalist) announces Coldplay, who decide to do “Lost”, their current single, instead of ” Viva La Vida” or ” violet Hill”, both [...]

Grammy Awards Live Blog Part One

U2!
Needing a big kiss, apparently.
I’m not overly impressed with the new single, but the boys always manage to rock the grammys when they show up. And the lyrics popping up on the rainbow colors- fine. It’s a little more off kilter melodically than most U2 songs, moe like the song is a mash up of [...]

Grammy Awards Live Blog Pre-Show Talk

Yes, I am here, ready to snark about songs and winner and outfits and everything. I am sure that this thing will be riddled with spelling errors and half finished thoughts, and ther will be moments where you might have to wait for me due to bathroom breaks and kids bedtimes. Comments should be open [...]

BUMP: from Dec. 5, 2008: My Comment on the Grammy Nominees

What another craptastic year in music. That’s the point, I guess. But some happy things happened in the nominees this year. Yes, there is a token old timer, but that old timer is Robert ” I’m the lead singer of fucking Led Zeppelin” Plant with Alison Krauss, and that album is so freakin’ awesome. There’s [...]

A Few Quick Notes From Hell

Apatow to make short film for Oscar show. Male frontal nudity on ABC, y’all.
James Franco wins Harvard’s prestigious Hasty Pudding Award. He’ll make a pretty drag queen, I must say.
Speaking of pretty girls, Jude Law to play transsexual model in Sally Potter’s upcoming film. [...]

Some Quick Bits From The Undisclosed Location

NBC rejects a PETA ad set to air during the Superbowl. Because vegans can’t possibly be football fans, you know.
The couple in Once had a fairy tale year last year. They fell in love, were in the best movie of 207, and won an Oscar for writing one of my favorite songs. Sadly, they have [...]

Grammy Noms Tonight- Concert Style

Curious to see how this works… it’s not like it can be worse than those morning pressers where “stars” mumble out the names of artists they’d never listen to.

First…

To all Cougars, and you all know who you are.
Please, chill out about the news about DC and the Grammys. I agree with his people not submitting LO and TOML for consideration. TOML is not a song I want him associated with for longer than necessary, and LO would be lost in the eligibility shuffle [...]
