51st grammy awards

the "the view" girls were right. it was a complete mix of generations because the artists from different timelines sang together.

here are a few of the performances/presentations/winnings i enjoyed:

taylor swift-miley cyrus: when i heard the commentator that they would be next, i was like, "oh great, the two divas" but i was really intrigued so i waited and actually enjoyed their duet which showed that swift was the better singer

jonas brothers and stevie wonder: wow! burnin' up and superstition. although i thought one of the jo bros forgot the lyrics.

carrie underwood: underwood doing rock? it was cool although i couldn't understand a word she was singing.

jennifer hudson: tear jerking performance. but of course the knowledge of the recent tragedy made the audience cry

estelle and kanye: american boiiiiiii... the man diva didn't make a scene. rephrase. the 10-time grammy award winner didn't make a scene

jt and ti: finally! "dead and gone" that's the title

lil wayne and rob thicke: what an unexpected tandem

al green: singing moon river while duffy singing something else (forgot the title eh)

MIA: ready to pop..yep she was due that day, but heck even i would postpone the birth of my kid to attend the grammy's

katy perry had an interesting performance too... it was well, colorful

coldplay: i'm not so sure about their neon colored jackets. but what the hell, they won 2 awards

adele winning the best new artist was shocking. i think everyone expected the jonas brothers to win.

whitney houston--- looked toasted, wasted and all the eds in the world that could describe here weird presence which was supposed to be her comeback. she looked gorgeous and sophisticated--- until she opened her mouth.

kid rock ruled! enough said.

and last but not the least (and my favorite part of the show) was the collaboration of justin timberlake with al green, keith urban and boys II men singing "let's stay together". It was the coolest mix considering it was a last minute (rather, last two hours) addition to the program what with all the chris brown-rihanna drama going on. the story according to the grammy's coordinator was when rihanna called to inform them that she would be a no-show because of an "accident" and minutes later, chris brown called that he couldn't make it, the coordinator went to timberlake's dressing room to ask if he could give Green a ring. and lo and behold, he was in the tub. so "rub a dub dub, al in a tub" they had to transport him through a golf cart because of the traffic.

now for the chris brown-rihanna incident that makes me (for some reason) really sad, hmmm.. no comment? not that they need one. but i guess we have to wait for their story before we could judge.
