Grammy Time
We are near the end of the award season as the 51st Grammy Awards were on yesterday on CBS. I have never been a huge fan of the Grammys mostly because I can never figure out how so many bands and songs fall into so many different categories. I mean Cold Play is worthy of awards, but Rock Album of the year, ColdPlay is hardley a rock band and their lead singer Chris Martin even mentioned that in his acceptance speech. They are a great band but the label seems a little off if you ask me, compared to the likes of Metallica, ACDC those are real rock bands.
The performances were good as always U2 started us off as they should and with the way the mix of young and old, with bands such as the Johans Brothers playing with Stevie Wonder. The mix of platinum sellers of the likes of Kayne West, M.I.A, and Young Jeezie was a site to see, as well as the T.I and Justin Timberlake performance which was my favorite. Even Paul McCartney playing with the Foo Fighters was a great perfromance. None of the peformances lacked any problems they were all good.
Chris Brown and Rhianna were a no show but as we see today in the news there was some other things they were involved in that explains there missing performances. At least we know why they were a no show.
Altogether the performances make up for the awards as that is how most Grammy Awards shows are however, can we organize these bands a little better bext time. Although, I beleive that will be unlikely as every year the Grammy’s leave us asking, “how are those bands put in the same category?” Just like any other award show we never quite get fully satisfied.
