The Grammys: highlights & lowlights?

[Edison]

Did anyone watch last night?

Didn't think so.

I forgot it was on, but ended up catching some of the later parts.

Sorry I missed:
-The Tina Turner & Beyonce duet.
-Morris Day & the Time.

Glad to see:
-Gershwin's Rhapsody in Blue. What a fucking treat that was. That classed up the joint in a hurry.
-Amy Winehouse wins. The expression on her face was priceless.
-Keely Smith & Kid Rock duet on Old Black Magic. 50 years later, Keely's still got it! (the same hairdo, that is)

Anything else I missed?

Herbie Hancock.

Who says the Grammys are an irrelevant award show?

[Edison]

Herbie surprised most when he edged everyone else out for the album of the year. I admit, I've heard nothing from The Joni Letters. Now I'm curious.
And again, his performance of Rhapsody in Blue (in tandem with classical pianist Lang Lang) showed that he truly is a class act who embraces all great jazz while having become a legend in his own right.

Good on 'im.

I saw bits and pieces of it. The performances that I saw were absolutely terrific. Yeah, Beyonce and Tina Turner were great! I can't believe Tina Turner is 69! Granted her face looked as though it's been stretched to heavens, but she still looks great.

They opened the show with a duet with Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra which was really good. Best performance that I saw was the tribute to The Beatles featuring Cirques de Soleil's LOVE and the song "Let it Be'" from some of the cast from Across the Universe.

Jerry. Lee. Lewis.

'nuff said.

Amy Winehouse is kind of a mess, but man-o-man, she sure can sing.

Also, her reaction to winning is one of the best moments in award show history. Her stunned look as everyone around her celebrates was wonderful.
