The Grammys (2009)

Post-Grammy reactions, anyone?


  • THANK YOU, BONO!! Love the look, but more important, finally a song without socio-political bullsh*t. YEAH!! Still think the name of the song should've been 'Sexy Boots', but I LOVE it all the same. Hope this is a sign of thing to come off of No Line On the Horizon.
  • Whitney Houston?! What a novel idea. You look fabulous--now how 'bout an album?!
  • Coldplay... finally another moment in the sun. Love the continued digs on Sir Paul. "More of a limestone kinda rock, you know" EAT it, Metallica!! PLEASE come back to Nashvegas in 09. PLEASE!! {My year would be complete.} Chris & Co., if you have to lose, at least it's to Robert Plant.
  • The entire show was a pleasant and riveting surprise. Filled with performances by decent, and sometimes brilliant artists, the show didn't feel chintzy and it wasn't lame.
  • You just watch... Plant and Krauss are totally hooking up. Their chemistry is amazing. Did you see the way he kissed her?! Twice!!
  • Sir Paul--that was brilliant! Saw Her Standing There is a classic and seeing Grohl jamming out behind you. Too cool.
  • Katy Perry, seriously?! The song, like VD, is certainly infectious. What a get-up?! Way to go, CBS! Subversive and seemingly harmless. Nice.
  • Radiohead. I think an iTunes purchase is in my future.
  • Blink-182 and Green Day are both staging comebacks. Quick, make 'em stop.
  • Swagga?! Are you kidding me?! M.I.A.--disgusting. Show some respect for yourself. Get your trashy a$$ back in the house, show some class. Kanye, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, T.I.--guys, you're not helping your arguement.
  • Neil Portnow, nobody cares...
  • Juno wins for best compilation; The Dark Knight scores for score; WALL*E for best song/best instrumental arrangement; John Williams for composition for The Mutt Chronicles (Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull).

As I see it, a nice Sunday evening.
