What I Learned from the Grammys

Being here in Ireland, I was not able to watch the Grammys live. Epic bummer. But, thanks to Perez Hilton (I know, I know...le sigh), I was able to watch all the performances this morning. As usual some were better than others, but I learned some very valuable information from these videos. Let me share:

1. Usher will never top "Yeah" in terms of success. And Usher will never be as good as he was circa 1997. Evidence. (I would have embedded the video but everyone who has this video has embedding disabled. Who knew "My Way" was such a hot commodity?!)

2. I am a sucker. I got teary-eyed when I saw Will and Jada Smith being such proud parents when Jaden was rapping during Bieber's "Never Say Never" performance and I practically bawled when Katy Perry showed her wedding video. Seriously. My heart stopped. Such a sucker.



3. Christina Aguilera may be a little train-wrecky but girl can sing. Fo' real. Also, I re-learned that Aretha Franklin has some really friggin good songs.

4. Who the heck is Skylar Grey (she sings on "I Need a Doctor" with Eminem and Dr. Dre) and why don't we hear more about/from her? LOVE her voice.

5. I like Bruno Mars. This may not seem like such a revelation to you folks, but it was to me. Prior to his Grammy performance, I would have thrown a radio at a window if "Grenade" was playing. Just goes to show that any song can be made good if you do it retro style. No, really, I've done the research. This is FACT.

6. If you know me at all, you know I love the Avett Brothers. You also know I love Mumford and Sons. It would be damn near impossible for me to dislike their Grammy performance. What I did learn from their performance is that I miss the Avett Brothers having fun on stage. They seem too serious these days and I wouldn't have noticed this had they not been juxtaposed against the rambunctious Mumfords. So Scott and Seth, if you're reading this, have fun. (Bob and Joe--you still have fun so just keep doing what you're doing.)

7. Lada GaGa's new song "Born This Way" is better live.

Welp, I think that's enough revelations for one day. Time to get out of this house!
