The Grammys last night were a bit sloppy, but I was entertained watching it on DVR because if I didn’t like something, I just FF’d that sh*t! Some highlights? The Black Keys, Fun., Mumford & Sons, Kelly Clarkson, Jack White–they were all great, but what really made me happy was the return of Justin Timberlake (with Jay-Z). I just love JT!

Before we get to the winners, can I comment on Prince for a second? Was he carrying a pimp stick when he announced Record of the Year? Just wondering… (**correction- thank you @Pawesl – he needs a hip replacement, it was in fact, NOT a pimp stick).

Oh and before I forget. R.I.P. Adam Yauch. I was sad he got buried in the middle of In Memoriam portion of the ceremony, but Tom Morello, LL Cool J, Travis Barker, Chuck D and Z-Trip gave an awesome shout out at the end by singing No Sleep Till Brooklyn while performing WHADDUP (don’t know if it was part of the song or not (thanks @Miss Molly for the info). Sad part about that was that it got cut off by the night’s sponsors’ copy. Boo! You’re forever my boy, MCA!

Here’s JT’s dreamy performance in case you missed it (hopefully they won’t take this video down):

    Prince doesnt carry a pimp stick. Its a legitimate cane he carries because he is in need of a hip replacement. He wont get it because he is a jehovah’s witness and they dont believe in blood transfusions. He’s always seen with it now if not in a wheelchair or scooter.

    I’m a HUGE JT fan, so thanks for posting the video. :D I’m way too old to squee over him like I do, but that kid owned me the moment I heard his first solo album in it’s entirety. Kid’s ridiculously talented. I used to catch a ton of crap for being a fan, especially as a hard rock/metal chick, but everyone eased up after his appearances on SNL. Now everyone I know likes the guy and can admit he’s the shiz, even if they aren’t a fan of R&B/Pop/Dance music.

    RIP MCA! I can still recite every lyric to every song off License to Ill (dating myself some more) and everything they did after was pure gold. Beasties Forever! (I’ve had a crush on AdRock for about twenty-five years)

    Man, the Grammys were wack as hell this year.
    I didn’t like JT’s performance…the first part was okay, but when he started trying to compete with Robin Thicke in the second half? Naw boo, stay in your lane….falsetto all over the place, sounding parched as hell. I wanted someone to run up there and give him some water or a riccola or some shit. Full disclosure, I generally hate him because he thought it was cute to make fun of homeless people at his wedding.

    Jack White was amazing. Who is that lady he was singing with? I thought she was Phaedra for one minute.
    Sting and Bruno Mars……yasss, best performance of the night.
    The Bob Marley tribute was good until Rihanna showed up, but then Ziggy and Damian saved it again. It should have been longer though.
    Kelly Clarkson slayed, but I think she was kind of drunk.
    Prince’s everything was my everything, including his cane.

    Frank Ocean was a hot mess…when he started whistling, I was done done done.

    I’m bummed that Bey and Adele sat their asses in the audience and didn’t sing not one line. :(

    And Fun. was rude as fuck, not acknowledging Janelle Monae’s contribution to their song.

    @Pawesl – thank you for that info! I feel like an asshole now! And yikes, he should screw religion and take care of his body.

    @chaosbutterfly – I guess I skipped over FUN. being assholes. AND YES–Bruno Mars and Sting were amazing…and Ziggy too.

    @Miss Molly – Love Whaddup – I should have been more clear that that they gave a shout out to “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” rather than it being the song. Is that part of the actual song as a Z-trip remix, or was it a genuine shoutout?? Curious!

    Grammy highlights:
    Jay-z zinging The Dream’s fashion choice.
    The ‘go away’ music cutting off as soon as Jay stepped up to the mic. (Power!)
    Jack White.
    PRINCE!! He is the only man that I want to both have sex with and wear his clothes.
    Ziggy Marley’s bringing the tempo all the way up. Wish the tribute was longer tho.

    Grammy lows:
    Frank Ocean singing about Forrest Gump. And whistling!
    Mavis Staples got the bronchitis. Ain’t nobody got time for that!
    Adele’s dress giving me upholstery -realness. Now that she’s done it, she can make throw pillows.
    LL Cool J rapping like he’s an angry teenager. Bish, you’re on NCIS. Call down.
    Taylor Swift acting super-excited over everything. Even her sidekick stopped making eye contact after a while.
    Justin Timberlake’s Robin Thicke makeover. Justin is sexier with a shaved head and slim cut suit (a la Sexy Back). But now he just looks like a lounge singer. And did you see Ryan Seacrest?!

    @sarcasatire – your Prince comment was awesome! My 3 year old keeps asking “what are you laughing at?” And I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that DID.NOT.GET the Forrest Gump song. I keep hearing about how talented Frank Ocean is, but I hope that isn’t what everyone is talking about!

    “Jay-z zinging The Dream’s fashion choice.
    The ‘go away’ music cutting off as soon as Jay stepped up to the mic. (Power!)”

    Yasssss to both of these moments.

    That Forrest Gump song was a hot mess and a half.
    When I heard that first off-key “Forreeestttt Gummmpppp ooohhh….my fingertipss and lipsss” I was like mmmm but the grammy committee ain’t sign up for all of this.

    And he had the nerve to whistle.
    No ma’am, ain’t nobody here for that!
    Give Wilt Chamberlain his headband back and sit your banana jcrew ass down someplace.

    JT is looking straight up game show host-like. Also looks like he’s dipping into the botox as well…
