The Rock's whole appearance on the show made no sense. He has NOTHING to do with music, PERIOD. Then there were his lame-ass jokes that made the comical Katy Perry cringe. He made Ryan Seacrest look brilliant.
Note to Chris Martin: you are very rich. You sell millions of albums. You win Grammys like nothing. Can you please dress like you are famous, and not like you just came from a long, dark night underneath an underpass (although I appreciate your bandmate apologize to McCartney for jacking the Sgt. Peppers motif).
Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift perform "Fifteen". I thought the Academy learned their lesson after the Grammy Nominations Concert; Taylor doesn't sing well live. Instead of heeding that warning, they took it a step further and had Miley sing with her, who is worse. Two sub-standard live singers does not a Grammy performance make.
Speaking of Miley and Taylor, shame on the cameramen for not showing their exes', Nick and Joe Jonas, faces while they performed. Hell, MTV showed Justin's reaction when Britney and Madonna made out. The duet was as close to that moment as the Disney queens were going to get.
Speaking of the Jonases, who's great idea was to pair them with Grammy darling Stevie Wonder? There was too much failure about it to truly list, but there's one thing that is truly sad; Nick stumbling over a simple lyric: "thirteen month-old babies". Ironic, huh?
Kanye West must have multiple personality disorder. First he's God, then he's Elvis, now he's 80s Lionel Richie? Make up your mind, and while you're doing that, get a haircut!
The official Grammy snub list: Leona Lewis, Katy Perry, Jazmine Sullivan, everyone who lost to Daft Punk, and Jason Mraz (I threw that in for those who actually love "I'm Yours", I didn't)
Speaking of Leona, there were no true diva performances. Save for Jennifer and arguably Adele, this year's ceremony was almost woman-free (Miley and Taylor don't count). Where was (not exclusive to) Mariah, Beyonce, Mary J., Janet, Madonna, Alicia, and the other Grammy women who usually kill it?
T-Pain won a Grammy. Enough said.
The entire Grammy voting process fails, but that's for another longer
