we’re getting close to the grammy’s and i’m home tonight, so i figured i’d give the live blogging thing a go once more. it pretty much sucks that the pro bowl is on at the same time, so i’ll be flipping back and forth like a mad man between cbs and espn. will kanye show up for the ‘forever’ performance? how many of those trophys will gaga take home? more than bey? will chris johnson take one home for his record label? taylor swift gonna bag a few TDs for the NFC? i don’t know what i’m saying.
hit the jump for the updates.

about fashion at Grammy Awards: http://theiturbanfashionista.wordpress.com/2010/02/01/grammy-awards-fashion-on-the-red-carpet/
i thought Bon Jovi was horrible. they play 2 minutes of living on a prayer. rather seen him pull off “Always” acoustic style, but you know that would make too much sense.
and the best new artist award goes to who? never heard them on any top 40 radio. should have gone to MGMT or Silversun. once again don’t know how the grammys go about picking winners. you give taylor swift album of the year, when really only one song was a big hit. you’re gonna pass up lady gaga or beyonce. I heard multiple hits out these two but they get passed up for her. don’t agree at all.
i still think they’re sour as hell about kanye west ruining the VMAs for her. you know, because the VMAs are so worthwhile these days.
and i agree with literally everything you said about gaga and beyonce. shit, the grammys usually give away the AOTY award to adult contemporaries like alison krauss or jazz pianists like herbie hancock (the last two years). the phenomenon behind “single ladies” or the crossover appeal of everything gaga did in 2009 is grounds enough to cancel out taylor.
embarassing choice. she will be forgotten in 5 years when she can’t write about being fucking fifteen and in love.

Grammys, I am major disappoint. I wanted Kanye to interrupt her again for something she didn’t deserve. Again.
like i told roshan, kanye should have magically showed up, run out and punched her in the head for this one. or someone should have done it for him. hov, i’m looking at you.
