The Grammys

Since you all know that I love music, you should also know that of course I stayed up to watch The Grammys last night. Here are my thoughts in no particular order:

• Lady Gaga: Holy crap. She is so outrageous, isn't she? And kind of manly looking - in the face, anyway...the rest of her is all woman. The outfit that she came out in was something else. I wonder who does her waxing. She was spotless. I thought the arms sticking up out of the piano while she and Elton John performed were just creepy. And how the heck could they play the piano with those blingin' glasses on? I think she tries so incredibly hard to be "different" so that she doesn't get lumped in with Britney and the other pop princesses. Her music isn't that great if you ask me. Sure, I'll sing along to "Just Dance", but her other songs just annoy me. And "Paparazzi" is about stalkin'...no way around it.
  
• 3D Performance in memory of Michael Jackson: Are we expected to have 3D glasses at our house? Because I didn't and it was pretty annoying on the eyes. Wonderful singing, though...and his children seem sweet. I feel for them.
• Pink: Amazing. I didn't get distracted one time while watching her perform. (And that is saying a lot, people!) I honestly can't think of much more to say, except that I wouldn't have wanted to be in the wake of the streams of water coming off her as she spun through the air...especially after I had gotten all dolled up to go to The Grammys. I wonder if they were warned?
• Dress Code: Some performers were dang near naked. On some of Pink's spins through the air, I was thinking that there are some moms somewhere putting hands over their son's eyes.
  
• Beyonce: She's a wonderful singer and performer. Her performance of If I Were A Boy (along with part of the ultimate "ex" song by Alanis Morrisette) was my favorite of the night. Where'd they find all those men to be SWAT guys?
• Taylor Swift: Hi, my name is Ashley, and I sing Taylor Swift songs. All of them. I like the girl. She is a good singer in my opinion. But I am not sure if her album was "Album of the Year" worthy. And I say that because of the other nominees in the category. I thought Dave Matthews Band or Beyonce would have won this category. P.S. Taylor makes the same face every time she wins an award. EVERY time.
  
• Eminem, Lil' Wayne, and Drake: We missed out on half their lyrics because of the silence they had to air to make sure a cuss word wouldn't come across the airwaves. And how many times do you have to grab your crotch when you sing? Really.
  
• Green Day, the Musical: Really? I like Green Day, buuuutttt...I guess I'm just picturing a couple of hours of the cast of "Glee" singing Green Day songs. (Before you nut up, please know that I do enjoy "Glee"...I am just not lovin' the idea of the Green Day musical.)
  
• Bon Jovi: I was shot through the heart, so now I'm always livin' on a prayer! Love, love, love!!

I leave you with this:
Don't you think Bryan Adams should have won something for this song back in his hay day? I'm just sayin'... (This is for you, MamaSherry!)
