GRAMMYS 2011 REVIEW

Here's is my review of the 2011 Grammy awards.

I watched the 60 minutes interview with Anderson Cooper and Lady GaGa and it got me all pumped up to see GaGa at the Grammys



I was excited when GaGa made her red carpet appearance in an giant egg, it was very mysterious and held a lot of meaning.

Then GaGa's performance was pretty good, and again very meaningful and fitting along well with the idea behind the song.

Gaga won 3 awards: Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Short Form Music Video.

 

 

GaGa after the show backstage (Wow Beyonce has gone so blonde!)

As for the rest of the show...

Well I kind of liked the beginning when Christina Aguilera sang the Aretha Franklin tribute with the other girls but she put on a lot of weight!

Janelle Monet & B.O.B. & Bruno Mars was cool and creative, I didn't mind it.

Usher & Justin Beiber & Jaden Smith was ok but I would have rather heard them sing Somebody to Love.

Katy Perry... meh... it was ok.

Cee Lo Green & Gwenyth Paltrow.... Wow I didn't know Gwenyth could sing and she is actually pretty good, she's in the wrong business ha ha!

Eminem & Rihanna could have been good if Rihanna had practiced how to sing :(

Rihanna & Drake... again Rihanna needs to practice her voice some more.

I loved Nicki Minaj's outfit, so cute.

Loved JLo's hair even though it's probably extensions

Oh and big shocker.... I was like why is Johnny Depp at the Grammys and then I heard it's John Mayer and I'm like whattttttt??? They could be twins!!!

 

Interesting show I guess but somewhat disappointing and little bit of a waste of time. I don't know who picked the Grammy nominees and especially who picked the Grammy winners... but they messed up big time.

A lot of artists and songs that got nominated shouldn't have been. There were better choices than the ones they picked. And the winners from those terrible choices were even worse. Maybe the Grammy committee people picked winner names from a hat, it seems to be the only logical explanation for this abomination of a show... I'm still so shocked.

Album of the year..... Arcade Fire??? Are you joking me! At least give it to Eminem if you're gonna steal it from GaGa.

BOOOOO! 

Here is GaGa's Grammy performance from last year to bring back some old memories

 

LOLZ

The VMAS!

Lady GaGa was nominated for 13 awards last night at the VMAs, becoming a record for most award nominations. She went home with 8 awards in total. 2 nominations were for her performance in Beyonce's "Video Phone" music video, so it was more like GaGa won 8/11. 

Way to go momma monster, I don't know how you ever thought you weren't going to win! Every time they showed the nominees and GaGa was included I felt so much suspense but when she began winning each award I knew she would reign over everyone and take them all!

I am a bit disappointed that she was not a performer because I knew she would have done something amazing, I hope she will perform next year.

Overall, I liked the show. There were several performances that were boring and I wanted to change the channel but I tried to keep my calm... LOL!

These are the outfits Lady GaGa wore for the ceremony

My favorite moment was when GaGa won her last award and revealed the title of her upcoming album and sang a verse from the song! Her voice was so amazing!!!

Born This Way

I Loved the performance by Usher

Loved Eminem

The others were okay. Except I hated Taylor Swift's boring performance and overall boring voice that is really nothing special... I don't know why they let her waste our time. And Florence + Machine... she has a good voice but I never heard of her and couldn't enjoy her performance because it was a little too weird.

Justin Beiber... apparently he was lipsyncing... LOL well I'm not a fan of his although I'm not a hater, I respect the boy and thought his performance was okay, but it wasn't cool that he would be lipsyncing. However his voice has changed and gotten a bit deeper and surely will get way deeper over time (I don't know what will happen to his career but we will have to wait and see). I liked when he played the drums because I didn't know he could play... so yeah I am neutral with him.

The Host... Chelsea Handler... I didn't really like any of her "jokes" which were more like insults. I thought her entrance was kind of funny though when she came down from the ceiling with a house on her head to Bad Romance, which was an obvious impression of GaGa.

Kanye West... well he was last to perform and there was a lot of hype about what his performance would be like and if Taylor Swift would try to interrupt him. I did kind of like his performance although when I heard him start singing the chorus of his new song "Runaway"

"Let's have a toast for the douchebags,
Let's have a toast for the assholes,
Let's have a toast for the scumbags,
Every one of them that I know
Let's have a toast to the jerkoffs
That'll never take work off
Baby, I got a plan
Run away fast as you can"

I was like "Ummmmm what?????"

But I still think it was a pretty interesting performance and worth the wait, I guess.

Let us still not forget what he did to Taylor Swift last year!

Aside from that, I really loved the futuristic VMA set and loved that Deadmau5 was deejaying the whole event.

Well, what else to say except Congratulations Lady GaGa, my mother monster, we did it honeybee!

On that note, I will leave you with a video of her famous performance from last years VMAs

Mwah!
