Well, I had a chance to slog through the Grammy show over the weekend. (Reviewers must love Tivo, I know I do. No commercials, and a quick blast through the last half of songs you know can't be saved.)
Here are my questions;
1. It looks like Madonna got a tight new face to go along with that finely toned body she was parading around. What's with facelifts that actually change the basic way a person looks.......and of course there were no real close ups during the performance. Coincidence?
2. Can Christina Aguilara just sing the damn melody. Nice voice and all, but enough with the R&B yodeling. Listen to the words of the song while you sing, convey the meaning of said words with your voice. Leave the scale practice for the shower.
3. Maria Carey and gospel. Who'd of thunk she would do a pretty good job of that. God knows she's still a space cadet, but not a bad performance.
4. Coldplay. I'm just not feelin' it. And was Chris Martin watching too much Bono during rehearsals? He stole the sunglassed one's whole vibe.
5. Kids, don't do drugs. For proof...two words....Sly Stone. A wonderful musical genius and innovator. He took all the music percolating in the Bay Area in the late 60's and molded it into a single clear vision. Funk, Soul, Acid, R&B, Rock......all into one. And then.......nothing, nada, zilch. Just a big line of coke to paranoidville. Tragic.
As for the rest? Bruce in Mr. Dylan's shoes, Paul rappin' Yesterday, Marching bands, American Idol Grammy for best karoke...........
Maybe next year........
