FASHION POLICE REPORT: Adele will live to regret the embroidered red floral Valentino dress with a full skirt which made her look as though she’d created her outfit from her grandmother’s couch. The fashion police on Facebook have already issued a summons.
BEST LINE OF THE NIGHT: Jennifer Lopez, after flashing her bare thigh said “As you can see, I read the memo.”
50 SHADES OF SHADE MOMENT: Jay-Z, picking up his award for “No Church in the Wild” said to The-Dream who had on a “Boyz in the Hood” hat on top of a “Parental Advisory” knit cap, “I’d like to thank the swap meet for that hat.” (Swap meet: a cheap commercial market, best known in L.A.)
OCEAN OF WTH?: Critical darling Frank Ocean who only picked up one award whistled his way through a lackluster performance that had his fans scratching their head.
R&B ON LIFE SUPPORT: Though there were several performers of color including Jay-Z (with Justin Timberlake) Bruno Mars and in the end LL, R&B was pretty absent from the Grammy Awards this year. Is R&B dead or has it been co-opted by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Adele and Kelly Clarkson all who had center stage on the show?
BIGGEST LOSER: Rapper Nas, who again went home empty-handed after 13 nominations.
MUCH RESPECT: All Prince came out to do was present the Grammy for Record of the Year and he still got a standing ovation. He also wore a hood, dark glasses, a black distressed jacket with a hood and he carried a cane. He still sent female timelines into a tizzy. The Australian artist Goyte, who won for the breakup anthem“Somebody That I Used to Know,” thanked Prince for inspiring him.

I stopped watching this mess years ago so I don’t know about who wore what half of the music and the people nominated I don’t know nor do I care to know them. They are a group of peole full of no talent idiots and the sad part about this is that pople have began to acept sorry music in place of REAL music and them award them for this crap. I read book more now than listening to so called music. These fools can get up and just start singing anything and people seem to buy it. What a waste of time and energy.All these singers do is sing anthems and keep repeating the same thing over and over and call it a CD WTH?????? The grammys can continue to reward lackluster music and performances i don’t care but I will not watch and I’m sure they don’t care!
Pingback: Did The Grammys Jam? | Majic 102.1
I will say the Grammys DID rock. But, there were some drawbacks. First, the pairing of Ellen DeGeneres and Beyonce was “weird” Beyonce seemed uncomfortable. And Ellen DeGeneres looked like she wanted to make a lesbian move on Beyonce very badly.Also, the Academy did something very contrived that I don’t think folks caught or talked about. But, I did. They created a brand new award category called Urban Contempary…something or other. Then, they place 3 competing artists in this category, Chris Brown, another artist and Frank Ocean. Then, they award it to Frank Ocean. This was a direct “diss” to Chris Brown. It was contrived—-a hater move. The Academy really stooped that time. The Academy should stop “promoting” Gay and go with the flow.
I am sure that there were plenty of viewers besides me who noticed Rihanna with that silvery two-piece outfit she had on while presenting on stage that caused the fashion censors to sweat whenever she stretched and the top (or I should say: “lower section bottom”) revealed a dark-winged bird tattoo under both of her “breasties”.
No the grammy’s did not rock,, IT was a WHACKED OUT,, everything was messed up .. PLease
