GRAMMYS SHOW MUSINGS<\/h1>\n

This year\u2019s Grammys Awards show was the most boring in memory. I usually torture Mr. X by going back repeatedly because I missed a word or two, and I\u2019m always riveted to the set. But this time, I kept begging to skip ahead because it was all pretty awful. I\u2019ve recently become a Beyonce fan, but even her set had me yawning.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

\"519635181\"What happened to good old-fashioned singing? Why does everyone have to do something they think is spectacular, but always falls short? How is it special to see Elton John and Lady Gaga performing with dirty faces? What is that???? Just friggin\u2019 sing! If you can, that is.<\/p>\n

I mean, Taylor Swift does seem like a lovely girl, and her own ditties are somewhat interesting, but can she sing<\/em>? I think not. I\u2019ve always noticed that she\u2019s not a singer, but can warble her own tunes, as even one-note I <\/em>can do with mine. (Maybe I\u2019ll put my big hit, Vomit Green<\/em>, <\/em>on YouTube one day. But don\u2019t hold your breath.) But she\u2019s incapable of duets, especially with the formidable Stevie Nicks. That was just plain brutal. Insulting to Stevie.<\/p>\n

Mary J. Blige is another who can\u2019t team-up with another. In the future, when the Grammys committee geniuses put the show together, here\u2019s an idea for them–in the immortal words of the Brooklyn chick character from My Cousin Vinny<\/em>: \u201cBlend!\u201d At least make sure that that\u2019s what the voices do when you pair these disparate singers!<\/p>\n

And just when did they let the at-home audience know to get 3-D glasses for the Michael Jackson tribute? I watch CBS enough that I would have seen it in commercials, and we check-out several entertainment sites, and never heard\/read one word about it! So, now I\u2019m wasting all the space on my already over-loaded VCR until I have time to shop around for some of those, so Mr. X and I can see if it all was all worth it.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t even know that I was going to write any of this about the show itself, so I\u2019ll just post my \u201cRed Carpet Review\u201d tomorrow, instead of making this one super-long. But I do have to wonder here about the in-desperate-need-of-attention Lady Gaga.<\/p>\n

I thought the point of getting dressed-up to appear on TV was to look as gorgeous as possible–many of these chicks didn\u2019t get the memo. And she\u2019s #1 on that list. She looked like a sour-ass fool. Nothing says your not there for the fun and excitement of the evening like an outfit that screams \u201clook at me.\u201d<\/p>\n

More on her and the rest of the Red Carpet-ers in tomorrow\u2019s posting. So, there\u2019s something to look forward to!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
