A Walkthrough of Today's Grammy's

I'm lounging on my bed, watching the Grammy's. Here's a recap:

8pm started off with Lady Gaga performing "Poker Face," and then singing a duet with Elton John (both playing on pianos)...interesting match...and both had their faces painted up...hmmm. Would have preferred her performing "Bad Romance." Oh well.

So, best song was won by Beyonce Knowles...was I surprised? No. Did I think she deserved it for the "Single Ladies" song? Not really. I don't care for the tune.

Best country song went to Taylor Swift...no surprise there. Thank God, Kanye West was nowhere in sight. I'd be seriously irritated if he interrupted her Thank You speech again.

CBS asked viewers to vote on its website for one of three songs that Bon Jovi will perform later tonight. I headed to the site, which was super-slow to load, and picked an old classic "Living on a Prayer." The '80s rock, people. I love when this song plays on the radio, especially when waking up to it in the mornings. Bon Jovi is from NJ, a real family man, and gets hotter and hotter as time passes. He's like fine wine....oh, bad example, as I don't like wine...okay, how about like aged cheese ;)

Pink's outfit....no comment.

Black Eyed Peas was entertaining as usual with their "Imma Be..." song, and then moving on to "I gotta feeling." Not sure of what to make of the robotic outfits.

Really liked the performance by Lady Antebellum singing "Need You Now." It's a beautiful, emotional song. I looked it up on the Internet to find out more about it. Boy, was I surprised that it's a country song. I'll say this then - this is the first country song I have thoroughly enjoyed. It hardly even feels like country. More like a mix of easy listening & pop and just a trace of country. Great tune by this group...yes, Lady Antebellum is a group, not just a single lady performing. I found this out today, so don't feel bad if you hadn't heard about this group before.

I thought Grammy's were all about singing. The Best Comedy Album category doesn't appear to require any singing. Strange category. Well, Steven Colbert won.

Record of the Year won by Kings of Leone.

Next, Jamie Foxx performed a song. I muted it, so I could look up the "Need You Now" song on YouTube. Nice video.

Best Rock Album - Green Day.

Leon Russell performed. Again, I muted, so I could finish watching "Need You Now." I love the piano playing accompanying this song. And the lyrics are really so beautiful...'picture perfect memories scattered all around the floor, reaching for the phone 'cause, I can't fight it anymore. And I wonder if I ever cross your mind, for me it happens all the time. It's a quarter after one, and I'm all alone and I need you know...' Wow. Those are very moving and sad lyrics. This is an iPod worthy song.

Taylor Swift performed next on her guitar. Again, I muted it. My remote sure is getting a workout from constantly being muted and unmuted.

Next was Michael Jackson's tribute. A presentation was given in 3-D. Several top perfomers sang - Celine Dion, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood, and Smokey Robinson.

And then.....Bon Jovi. Started off with "We weren't born to follow," then "Who says you can't go home." And then the song that viewers voted on that got performed next was: "Living on a Prayer." YES!!!!!!!

Best Rap Song Collaboration - Jay-Z, Rihanna and Kanye West.

For Haiti - Andrea Bocelli and Mary J Blige performed the song "Like a Bridge over Troubled Water."

Adam Sandler came on to present the Dave Matthews Band. He wore Usher's jacket, because he forgot to dress formal.

Best Female Pop Vocal - Beyonce

Okay; I think there are another 30 minutes or so of Grammy viewing. I'm muting it now, unless some really interesting category comes on. Have been watching for 2 and a half hours. It's time to call it a day.
