A few quick thought on the evening.
Tom Jones. Still has the pipes. While Jessie J was a little over the top, their duet on "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" was very strong and a pleasant surprise.
Miranda. Yes you are still winning awards, but it's getting real close to the time when you should be rethinking the Daisy Dukes image.
Kanye. Meh. Nothing. Not good, not bad, kinda boring. And really, stop thinking you have any right to judge who should win an award. Just stop.
Madonna. It may be time to reinvent yourself again. This persona is looking a little...sad.
Hozier and Annie Lennox. Dynamic. Annie just said "bitches, this is how it's done."
I like Pharrell's old hat better.
Would it have killed them to have just a little more Stevie Wonder?
Brandy Clark. Poise and talent. And who is cooler than Dwight Yoakam?
Sam Smith and Mary J Blige. Well worth the wait, but wouldn't a mashup with Tom Petty singing "I Won't Back Down," have been really fun?
"Albums still matter, like books and black lives"... Prince
So is orange the new purple?
The Android commercial was worthy of an award.
Just an idea, but wouldn't it be nice for the Grammy's to take one or two winners from the early show and showcase them on the late show? Let the possible winners in a previously decided category...say the Best Roots Album, or Bluegrass, rehearse once or twice beforehand and let the winner do a song at the main event. Instead of hiding so many talented musicians and music genres under the cover of a streaming only event? Just a thought.
Another year done. Time to make some new music.
