Musings On The 56th Grammy Awards and Complete Winners List

20140127-232006.jpg

 

Best 2 performances were Daft Punk and Pharrell with Stevie and Nile.

Also, OMG A BEATLES REUNION! I was CRYING MY EYES OUT! Wish that John and George had lived to play it.

LL was a so-so host. Queen Latifah should’ve hosted or co-hosted.

I like Pharrell’s hats – so what, he’s quirky! πŸ˜€

Missed the wedding with Madonna! Must’ve walked out of the room for a minute!

And speaking of Madonna, gosh aging can suck! She looks like an elderly woman now. Reminds we of Marlena Dietrich in her later years. It’s shocking!

Was COMPLETELY TICKED that Blurred Lines was robbed of all awards! That should’ve been the Record of The Year – I never get sick of it, while that annoying Daft Punk song is sooooooo boring and annoying after a few listens! It’s just 4 lines repeated over and over for F sakes! That was just the old people who constitute the Grammy voter voting for Nile Rodgers. If he hadn’t been on it, it definitely would not have won! I love Nile too, but that song was DEFINITELY NOT the best record of the year.

Best red carpet dresses Katy Perry, Rita Ora and Amber Rose.

And BEYONCE! Goes from strength to strength. LOVED the white dress that this Goddess had on in the front row. Black royalty in the White House and Black royalty at the head of the music biz! Martin is smiling down.

Cecile Lorin Savant was another robbery! This gal is one to watch in the Jazz category..
