The Grammy’s were SO good. I love the Grammy’s, and watch them every year because they always deliver these OMG outstanding collaborations.

The best:
T.I and Justin Timberlake “Dead and Gone.”
Katie Perry. I love that she was wearing a short dress and flats, her choreography mocking flirty girl sexiness and not fully embracing it. She’s pretty punk rock. Adele, too–I like the new girls in town.
M.I.A Have we ever seen a singer perform nine months pregnant in spandex? I don’t think so. The sight was almost uncomfortable, especially when she started grinding. Loved it. I’d be totally fine if she had octuplets because they’d be so damn cool.
Radiohead
Estelle and Kanye West
Neil Diamond singing Sweet Caroline. So Good. So good.
Robert Plant winning and saying, “In the old days, we would have called this selling out, but I think it’s a good way to spend a Sunday.”

The not-as-good:
I thought it was unfair to pair Stevie Wonder with the Jonas Brothers. I mean, they sounded good (Superstition is the best song ever) but he can’t see how dorky they are. Really cruel.
Lil’ Wayne and Robin Thicke-boring
I really liked the Rap Pack–TI, Kayne West, Jay-Z paired with M.I.A–they looked great and sounded good at times, but the smash up just didn’t work for me.
Adele chewing gum.
U2
Paul McCartney and the Foo Fighters–boring.
Kid Rock sang really well, but his “Amen” song was kind of scary. Maybe I was interpreting it wrong, but it’s underlying theme seemed to be, “I wish we would all wave a confederate flag.”

All in all a good night though I wished Whitney Houston had more air-time. She was on something, and I needed just five more minutes to figure out what it was.
