The 50th Grammy's Awards: my favorite moments
(Grammy.com)
-
I thought Kanye West was a bit ridiculous with all his "I own this show" antics. We're talking about (arguably) art here, not sports. There are no real winners and losers in art. Relax Kanye, because entertainers are here today, and gone later today. Just enjoy the ride, stop talking and keep performing. I thought country singer Vince Gill had the best line of the night: upon receiving his country song of the year award, from Ringo Starr, Gill said, paraphrased, "I just got a Grammy from a Beatle! ... (pause) ... have you done that yet, Kanye?" Perfect. I thought that in his tux, Jay-Z looked like he was one top hat and a monocle away from being either Mr. Peanut or The Penguin from the old Batman TV show. And my favorite moment -- no, it wasn't Alicia Keys, but dayammmm she's fine -- was when Tina Turner and Beyonce doubled up on "Proud Mary." Beyonce is Beyonce: she's the mold all women should be made from, but Tina Turner, whoah, is 68 years old...and still a fox... seriously. Sixty eight! And Amy Winehouse is a strangely alluring freak, but boy can she sing. Hey, she told she was trouble, she's no good. Overall, a pretty decent show that grew on me as I watched.
