one of the best performances of the evening. sir elton john joins the lady of 2009 on stage for an incredibly pyrotechnic version of “speechless,” after having been ushered onstage by some guy from hairspray. she also did a snippet of ”poker face”, which was quickly forgotten and overshadowed.
the collaboration everyone was talkin about for the past few days. it really sucks that kanye couldn’t join in on this. it also sucks that the audio editors at CBS hate hip-hop and muted half of these songs. i guess it was precaution, but whatever. drake didn’t do too bad considering it was his first major television appearance (let’s forget about those BET awards, right?), but dude needs live singing lessons.
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.
the 52nd annual grammy awards will take place in february of 2010, but the entire list of nominations can be seen at the official website. what do you think?
