Ya’ll know I am the music junkie so it’s TIME FOR THE RECAP! Live blogged of course while I watched the 51st Annual Grammy Awards. There was plenty to poke fun at and plenty to admire, so grab some popcorn, cue up Youtube to see what you missed and put on your reading glasses because it was a 3+ hour long show and there is a lot of recap after the jump!
ENJOY! And let me know what you think, what you liked, what you didn’t like…
U2 opening the show…I forget sometimes that Bono is actually a singer.
LOOK AT WHITNEY HOUSTON!! She’s presenting Best R&B Album. That hair…it looks like a helmet LOL. Look at her showing off them legs though…I ain’t mad. From the way she talks though, and the way she seemed to be twitching a little…LOL I am scared. Ya’ll can’t tell me her speech was a little OFF…maybe she’s just kicking it. I wonder if her voice was tired from ACTUALLY singing last night.
Jennifer Hudson won Best R&B album. But what is up with that dress!? It looks like papier-mâché ROFL. That’s an interesting choice! But I am SO happy for her. It still makes me wonder if it was the “pity” vote, ya know? I think she deserved it though.
The Rock — I just watched the “The Game Plan” yesterday. But anyway. The Rock kissing a girl and liking it? LOL! I bet. And Katy Perry isn’t a Pastor’s Kid LOL! That was a lame joke, are they going to make it this easy all night? “Beetle Fighter” = Paul McCartney + Dave Grohl. WACK JOKE ROCK. Dwayne, sit down.
Justin Timberlake loving The Rock, THAT is much more believable than The Rock kissing a girl and liking it HAHAHAHA. OK sorry. Why do they always chose Justin to present random soul people because he’s from KINDA down south? I think that = FAIL.
Al Green doesn’t sound as good live anymore LOL, sometimes he just finds the notes accidentally I swear, and I am so mad that Boyz II Men are singing backgrounds and JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE is soloing on “Let’s Stay Together”. NO. Not okay with me! Al Green is cackling like Stevie Wonder and looks like him kind of with them sunglasses on indoors. Someone pass Al a Halls, he gonna be voiceless after this song LOL. I love how they just threw Keith Urban in at the end! Umm, they didn’t rehearse this, I don’t think. Now see, WANYA SMASHED THAT. Case in point.
COLDPLAY! Coldplay makes me want to go outside and look at the stars while planting a tree. Seriously. I love when they kick it into high gear. I still rock that “Yellow” though, but “Viva La Vida” and “Lost” are my i-s-h! He has the flyest jackets too…LOL. His jackets > T-Pain’s top hats, true story. The nice piano version of “Lost” — ok. Is Jay gonna come out? OF COURSE. Jay, as much money as you have, there is no reason you should be walking around looking like a Mr. Potato Head complete with Brillo hairdo. I mean…I thought he was a suit & tie dude?
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, I HAVE NOT SEEN BEYONCE’ YET!! Something is off.
Time for “Viva La Vida” I love thow the drummer has one thing to do pretty much all the way through this song. This nikka is hitting the Liberty Bell for freedom! PHILLY STAND UP! Kidding. Chris Martin needs a longer t-shirt though…that smedium is showing his trail to the love below and we.are.not.interested. (pause). Please tuck it in! LOL @ them crooning like Boyz II Men though!
Carrie Underwood is probably one of my favorite female vocalists right now because she can actually blow, but she needs to stay out of Auntie Faith Hill’s big girl closet LOL. That don’t look right, she’s edgier than that. She looks like she’s trying our for Zena: Warrior Princess goes to meet The King of France or something. This song is HOT though! Her female guitar lead is KILLING though. I think Carrie should do something more soulful next album…it might be hot!
LeAnne Rimes looks like she been fighting the moonlight and her a** LOST. DANG! How Sheryl Crow look younger than you!? FAIL. She needs to get up on some of that Noxzeema or w/e they hawk on these commercials. They are presenting Best Country Performance Group/Duo with Vocals, which goes to Sugarland.
Song of the Year — Duffy and Al Green presenting. Does Rev. Al wear a toupee? He kind of got that Jamie Foxx “look where my hairline is today” going on LOL. That’s one bad Welsh chick! Can I get that “Bridge Over Troubled Water” on iTunes? LOL. This “Song of the Year” category actually has some really good songs in it…who wins? Coldplay of course LOL.
Kid Rock — I can’t and I won’t. Sorry! Wait, did you see his DJ!? Dude was scratching AND singing backup vocals! All this during a rock set! ROFL, I’m not at that. I am mad at the sax player that had the two long ducktail braids. *dead*
Taylor Swift + Miley Cyrus = I have to go take a pee break. I don’t get why people like Taylor Swift. She is SO boring. And Miley Cyrus sounds like a little man sometimes. This performance is SO terrible. Taylor is better than Miley. Miley is REALLY struggling to hit them notes, I mean, she needs to go ahead and stand up so she doesn’t have to struggle so hard…
Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals — Robert Plant & Allison Krauss. OK…wow. I wasn’t expecting that, but they won a bunch last year didn’t they?
Jennifer Hudson is performing!! Hmm…”You Pulled Me Through” is her performance song…I hope she kicks it into something else, though the reason she is singing this song is so obvious. Umm, what earrings are those? Pink flamingos? LOL interesting choice, also, so is that Dr. Bobby Jones sequined special dress. But we will mark it up to hard times. I love her though LOL. Gospel choirs = emotion, and she could barely hold it together through the performance. Awwwww. I love her! I was waiting for her to sing “Never Would Have Made It” LOL. LOL @ them showing Yolanda Adams. OBVIOUS. They should have gave her the mic to finish up that performance, she would have murked it on J. Hud’s behalf, seriously.
Who is that presenting with Jason Mraz? She’s interesting! Jonas Brothers — Is it that “Burning Up” song? OH LORD THEY ARE PERFORMING WITH STEVIE! Woooooooooooow. Stevie on the talkbox…pay attention T-Pain (Lord, please don’t let him come out). And how are they getting OWNED by Stevie Wonder on their own song, and he’s like ancient! ROFL lol @ one of them going to play congas — I CAN’T.
Stevie Wonder makes me want to go buy this song with him on it ONLY though. Don’t judge me.
“SUPERSTITIOUS”! Stevie Wonder never ceases to amaze me. OK, me no likey they yt boys trying to do this song though LOL. No no no no. They just lost me on this one. They could play their instruments and let him do all the singing. They are getting a lil’ TOO excited on some of them notes — YOU AREN’T THAT FUNKY. Don’t let Stevie’s killer grooves fool you. Stevie Wonder is that DUDE though, he can make anyone sound good. Please see Jermaine Jackson’s “Let’s Get Serious”.
Blink-182 is back together to present the Best Rock Album. Wow. Coldplay of course.
What is this faux hip-hop mess taking us out to commercial?! LOL soundtrack fail.
Katy Perry – no, no no no no no. How phallic is that “banana”! This was about kissing a girl? Oh wait, is all this fruit on stage supposed to mean “she had some of the forbidden fruit” or that this song is about “being fruity” and kissing girls? Please tell me. She looks like the Chiquita Banana logo in 2009 goes to Vegas. I can’t!!!! My brain has shut this out. Yep. Wait, are those other fellow fruits from YouTube singing this song on the monitors? LOL! /I love the kids, ya’ll, it’s just jokes.
Kanye & Estelle performing “American Boy” = KANYE’S JACKET AND HIS HAIR — ESTELLE’S SHINY BAG MOOMOO DRESS = I CAN’T. They look like the 2009 Ashford and Simpson. ROFL please page me when this Austin Powers fashion flashback to the 60’s is over! I love this song though…but cotdang I can’t hear it through my tears. Estelle looks like a Chocolate Fem-bot! I can’t!
Best New Artist = Adele. I can live with that! Though, Jasmine….gosh. If Jasmine’s album was a more SOLID listen she would have won that ya’ll.
IT’S MR. CLARK! LOL, kidding. Why is Kenny Chesney Morgan Freeman’s friend? LOL, that’s kind of random. Seriously. I mean not really. But kind of.
Herbie Hancock, Natalie Cole & Diddy presenting Record of the Year — is it Easter Diddy? No one on the corner rock Pastel like Puff! Allison Krauss & Robert Plant again!? Wow. OK. Song & Record of the year…
*insert Kang Latifah joke* She wearing that dress though. ROFL. M.I.A. = WOW. This is just not…ok. I feel so bad.
Oh I see they broke out the suits from Fonzworth’s “Everybody” video for the “Swagger Like Us” performance! Kanye & Jigga’s hair deserve their own award ROFL. M.I.A. has more “Swagger” than any of them without that see-through faux-bikini outfit she rocking. DEAD @ that swagger indeed! Since when did Weezy start rocking AJ from 106 & Park’s braids!?!? NO WAIT, HE LOOKS LIKE MJG (8ball & MJG)!! ROFL. The best of this “Rap Pack” performance was the band. FIYAH!!! That was a hot performance though.
*Now the yt ppl will begin and/or continue to use “swagger” gratuitously. Great.
Kate Beckinsale is presenting Paul McCartney & The Foo Fighters. I don’t think I am interested in this, though I do forget that Dave is a drummer sometimes.
It’s now a lull in the Grammy’s LOL. My boy G3K on Twitter just said it best: “The five most legendary people in music right now, all lined up in a row. Holy shit. Now back to white people!!! :-(” #grammys (that was after the “Swagger Like Us” performance)
Best Male Pop Vocal Performance: John Mayer. Ne-Yo just put on extra lipgloss to cover up the snarl he gave John Mayer ROFL! Let me stop.
LL Cool J should just not do any more music. Seriously. LOL. Him and Jay Mohr presenting Sugarland doing “Stay” & Adele doing “Chasing Pavements”. Jennifer Nettles looks like a Caucasian Nelly Furtado to me, I don’t know why. Especially while she is singing. And Adele is SO British but she just seems like she likes beer and likes to cuss ROFL. She’s that big girl in school that you were nice to so she would be on YOUR side if something went down on da’ playground. LOL. “Chasing Pavements” is an awesome song though.
I will never forget when Sugarland did “Irreplaceable” that year at the American Music Awards. I was there and I remember we all thought it was a joke LOL!
Gwyneth Paltrow is presenting because her boo is here LOL! FREE GIFT BAG FOR HER. Ain’t she married to Chris Martin? She is introducing Radiohead PERFORMING WITH MY ALMA MATER! FIGHT ON TROJANS! Thom Yorke is gigging though LOL. USC MARCHING BAND! /so proud. I have never heard this song before but I kind of like it LOL.
LOL @ Sam Jackson saying “man love”. Really Sam? If there is anyone that doesn’t have to say “pause” it’s you! He introduced Justin Timberlake & T.I. performing “Dead and Gone”. Obvious attempt at drawing the crossover crowd T.I. A last ditch effort to drum up some “Paper Trail” sales before he goes to the pokey LOL (pause!!!). I just hope there is no Gospel choir… So, is this 2009 “Tha Crossroads”? LOL. Let me stop. This performance slightly bored me until the “Bring in da noise, bring in da funk” drummers came out LOL. What a mix…the mini-orchestra + the bucket drummers. Only T.I.
Shoutout to my girl Katie & The Grammy Museum!! Ya’ll should go check that out…it’s dope! She’s at the Grammy’s. /jealousy. Neil Portnow looks like a TV dad, like Alan Alda mixed with Alan Thicke. LOL.
Motown Tribute: Chris Brown, Ne-Yo, Smokey, Duke Al-Fakir…oh this is great. LOL, Smoke…bless his heart. Is it me or does Jamie Foxx seems to be fumbling his way through this!? he don’t know the moves either…and his mic is the loudest? LOL! This tribute was very “whelming” though.
Is Smokey still shilling that gumbo? “THE SOUL IS IN THE BOWL!” Uncle Smokey, I can’t and I won’t homie!
Neil Diamond = OK I am already sleepy, they should have put him WAY up in the program. I am too tired for all this tomfoolery. He doing the geriatric shuffle. His backup singers look like they escaped from the Wig Crypt LOL. I can’t! They still working though, I ain’t mad! “Sweet Caroline” = sweet dreams if he don’t wrap this up though.
“Fathead” is dead!? I just watched “Ray” today! Snap! RIP Odetta @ Miriam Makeba and Earth Kitt, Jheryl Busby, Ira Tucker, Levi Stubbs, Dottie Rambo, Issac Hayes, Bo Diddley…man, a lot of greats died this year.
Bo Diddley Tribute: B.B. King is ALWAYS performing with John Mayer LOL. Keith Urban sitting in…who is the other person? I see Rickey Minor jamming in the background — he STAY working. OK, where is the last performance…they should have scheduled the latter half of the show better!
Lil’ Wayne is performing with Allen Toussaint and Robin Thicke…this should be interesting. Robin is getting his sang on though! I’m just glad Wayne isn’t “playing” the guitar. Praise Sweet Minty Jesus!! But I am too sleepy to care about this performance LOL. And he’s covered up! LOL. *yawn* Terence Blanchard comes out killing it tho.
WHY IS THIS NOT OVER!? They are SO over 3 hours.
LOL @ them going from the great New Orleans music to will.i.am and T-Pain coming out to Flo-Rida’s “Low”. I can’t. They are presenting Best Rap Album. Did he say he say “5 mens”? T-Pain, engrish is your friend. It’s obvious who is going to win this — Lil’ Wayne. It would have been nice if T.I. got it though, what a great cap to his pre-jail era LOL. You know that has got to sting a little. Baby know he wanted to kiss his son. Pause!
Robert Plant & Allison Krauss. Please Jesus. Make it stop. So tired.
Album of the Year: Allison Krauss & Robert Plant. Wow. OK.
Stevie Wonder does the finale.
I am going to bed!

whitney was totally on some ish, i was scared she was gonna have an episode.
i wonder if stevie noticed all the people leaving while he was singing at the very end…im just saying. LOL im goin to hell.
this was very boring at best, and very “whoo-ite”. nice impromptu performance by JT/Al Green/ Boyz II Men and YT dude. thank god chris brown and rihanna got held up, i suggest putting them in jail for like 5 years, im just saying. we could do with some rest from their “celebrity”, more like celebrity OVERKILL. how is she gonna release an album 5 times? its not like the music is getting any better. throw beyonce in their with them as well.
best performance has to be swagga like us, just cause M.I.A. did you see her air humping hahaha she was a fool for that.
February 9, 2009 alexis
Katly Perry really is a pastor’s kid lol. M.I.A looked like a cockroach, im glad she did her thang but she should of worn something else
February 9, 2009 JJ Fad
Justin is from Memphis TN; how is this kinda down south? That is pretty Southern if you have never visited. Plus it is the home of Stax Records, Issac Hayes, and lots of Soul. Not saying he should always represent for the soul people but just letting you know.
February 9, 2009 Cocoa
Ok, Whitney was snorting that stuff before she came out, I swear she forgot what she was going to say a couple of times. She wanted to show some skin and forgot what she was going to say while trying to show that skinny ass chicken leg…. agggghhhhh. Justin/Al/B2M did great for being put together to cover for the 2 lovebirds that are obviously no longer in love. Damn…. She shoulda ate the cake! MIA, U go girl, big belly and all. Her and Jennifer needs a stylist. I think I said that on the last post (superbowl). Those outfits looked like hell…>>>Cocoa steps down off her soapbox<<<
February 9, 2009 Miss1Dimple
Both of Katy Perry’s parents are preachers. I was thinking this morning how strange it was that J Hudson won a grammy for Pocketbook. The show seemed a little boring. Glad I didn’t watch.
February 9, 2009 Matt
Jhud’s performance was probably the best. For a performance without many bells and whistles, I was totally captivated.
Taylor swift is pretty talented. No really, I’m not defending her ’cause I’m white, but she has been writing songs professionally in Nashville since she was 16, and for a kid singer/songwriter, she’s now broken records and made a bit more than $ome change. They’re not bad songs, not great, but for what it is, they’re smart and fun.
I bet The Rock and Vin Diesel get it on like crazy-mad. They prolly shave eachothers heads.
You’d think Leann Rimes’ gay husband would have styled her better.
If you doubt Katy Perry’s Christian roots, check out her first CD: Click Here.
She’s the daughter of a pastor. Just like Jessica Simpson.
Adele was one of the two of my best concerts of last year. I think anyone who loves music should see her, as she puts on a fantastic show!
This was a boring show.
February 9, 2009 ASmith
Justin’s from “kinda” down South? He’s from Memphis. He’s from down South, period.
I liked the Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift performance, though individually, I like neither of them.
I was trying to figure out the fruit thing in Katy Perry’s performance too. I think her set director got carried away with that “cherry chapstick” line.
Anyway, I was reminded why I don’t watch the Grammys. It’s a lame-ass shit show.
AND THE SOUND MAN NEEDS TO BE FIRED, POST HASTE. Tha hell was up with the sound this year? Man, we can’t blame every damn thing on the recession. Do it right, or don’t do it… Lawd, Lawd, Lawd…
February 9, 2009 fatblkboy
the show was too long…as usual. i’ll reserve most of my commentary because it would just be restating the above and obvious. my fave performance was carrie underwood. and i don’t know why that bothers me. what stands out to me the most is kanye looking like 227’s lester jenkins by the head and estelle like judy jetson. and that is all…
February 9, 2009 mizz_simplicity
Well im glad Adele won. She deserved it! The girl is amazing. Im tired of Jazmine Sullivan. Im sorry but I thought that swagger like us performance was a mess and I cant take Jay Z seriously either. I think he sounds like Mickey Mouse. His voice was squeaking like crazy. Who gave M.I.A. a record deal and why. After that performance I stopped watching. Wow In typed some harsh comments lmao
February 9, 2009 mizz_simplicity
oh and Jennifer Hudson winning the best R&b album lmao. It amaze me that the Jonas Brothers and Miley Cyrus is famous. It looks like it takes no talent to be on Disney. Hell im going to try out for Disney. Katy Perry makes me be asahmed for being bisexual. ok im done now lmao
February 9, 2009 LivvinJapan
Thanks for the recap IPS! Can’t see the Grammies live in my neck of the woods. Shoot, I don’t even need to watch it now.
February 9, 2009 divaTy
You know I love me some Jhud but here’s no way she deserved that award. That Al Green album is flawless.

“so is that Dr. Bobby Jones sequined special dress” <<I was thinkin the same thing.
About the Justin being “kinda” from down south.. well I’m from Memphis. Its all the way in the southwest corner of TN, right there at the border of AK and MS, so yeah we’re really southern. But– JT is not from Memphis. He’s actually from a small town right outside of Memphis called Millington, where there are mostly whites… so yeah. I didnt like his singing last night either. And… who the heck is Alison KRaus.. And why did Estelle have on that Earth Wind and Fire let’s groove looking space outfit? HOT MESS!

LAWDHAVEMERCY!!!
“Since when did Weezy start rocking AJ from 106 & Park’s braids!?!? NO WAIT, HE LOOKS LIKE MJG (8ball & MJG)!!”
OMG *flatlines* that nigg do look just like ole boy.

Katy Perry makes me be asahmed for being bisexual.
*wow, i thought i was the only one who felt that way*
February 9, 2009 Honey B. Fly
IPS, I’m right there with you on them having BIIM as background singers. That was a NO-GO for me. A Definite and EPIC FAIL!!!!!
February 9, 2009 Whateva
I so loved that Adele won. I love most of the songs on that CD.
Why did J Hud have a napkin sewed to her dress?
Why do rappers always sound like they’re yelling?
I had never heard of Sugarland, but that chick sounds like she is a crack up. I near ’bout died when said her mama use to cart her off to sing at funerals and weddings.
That had to be the most boring show.
February 10, 2009 mizz_simplicity
LMAO at Cripes

You didn’t mention anything about MAXWELL!!! HE WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
