Last nights Grammy's were the most entertaining then they have been in years: Let's dig in Lady GaGa won 2 Grammy's including Best dance album Taylor Swift won top honor with Album of the year. Beyonce won a record 6 Grammy's including Song of the year. Maxwell won 3 include Best male R&B.
Now on to Performances:
Lady GaGa w/Sir Elton John- Poker Face/Speechless.This was true GaGa fashion and it wasn't her best but It was GaGa enough said.
Beyonce - If I was a Boy. This performance sucked,she wore Rihanna's old dress and GaGa shoes 60 dancers for nothing it was a full mess and it was very forgetable.
Pink- OMG! she was wonderful with her cirque du soleil inspired performance was a huge step in fake divas to up their games because she sang through it all..
Maxwell w/Roberta Flack- Love me some Maxwell But Roberta and the Icon she is wasnt her best so I'll leave it at that.
MJ Tribute- Celine, Jennifer,Carrie,Smokey and God help him Usher.Outside of Usher's knee dropping I need to save my career anticts it wasn't thtat bad. Now Back to Usher and his waist of space fake MJ ass singing out of key I mean sit your dumb ass down you are so not even current.
Now My Rant: BEYONCE
she has 16t Grammy's now with Last night's wins. I saw fans counted her DC grammy's as well and you can't she's a solo artist. Beyonce's wins are so so because she won all R&B 1 pop and 1 traditional and song of the year which is ok but out of 16 awards she doesn't have any of the huge awards now I know you all are like well she got them. WEll if she don't have atleast one Album/Record of the year you ain't much.
