53rd annual Grammys

Here's what happened in the 3-and-a-half-hours of the Grammys last night...

Lady Gaga came out of an egg on stage, Cee Lo Green gave her a run for her money in the costume department, Bob Dylan scared the hell out of everyone, Lady Antebellum won a shit ton of awards,  and Eminem only won 2/10 Grammys so he needed "a doctor" and Dr. Dre hit the stage.



One of the biggest upsets of the night, however, had to be when seemingly random Esperanza Spalding beat out Justin Bieber, Drake, Florence & The Machine, and Mumford & Sons in the 'Best New Artist' category.

Unless your a jazz fan, everyone was like "Who the hell??"  Beliebers haven't been this mad since Selena Gomez started dating their obsession.  Rap fans were clearly rooting for Drizzy.  As for Florence & The Machine... everyone and their DOG has heard "Dog Days Are Over" (thanks Glee).  And listening to Mumford & Sons makes you feel like you're having the chillest night at a pub with your friends and unlimited beer.  Yep, totally worthy.



All of 'Best New Artist' nominees were asked to perform at the Grammys last night too, except for the girl who actually won.  That's a little odd.  "Hi! You win! But please don't bore us with your slap bass..."



But after YouTubing Esperanza, there's no question the girl has talent... she's even performed for President Obama:







Apparently though, she already has three albums out.  Oh the Grammys --always so ahead of the curve!  Ex: as much as I love Jay-Z (LOVE...), why "Empire State Of Mind" and "On To The Next One" is taking home awards in 2011 after being released in 2009 I'll never understand.  (Full list of winners HERE)



Anyway, I don't think J-Biebz, Drake, Florence, or Mumford will lose their careers over this award.  I'm sure they'll go on to win many others... And maybe your great aunt will check out Esperanza's CD instead.  YAY everybody wins!  Sort of...

Grammy noms

The nominations for the 52nd annual Grammy awards have been announced!  They did this shit live in concert last night, making artists anxious as hell as they waited to maybe hear their names.  Sadly, Angelina Pivarnick never heard hers...

• Eminem leads the nominations with 10!  See, it pays off to be angry... who said you shouldn't live life angry?


• Bruno Mars follows with 7.  If it weren't for that whole cocaine thing I think he would have gotten like 8.


• Lady Gaga and Jay-Z are not far behind with 6 each.  These two should effing collaborate and get freakin' TWELVE nominations next year.


• B.o.B. scored himself 5 nominations.  He better thank Subway if he wins.


• And Katy Perry, Rihanna, Drake, and Cee Lo Green are all up for 4 awards.  I just really need Cee Lo to win something and pray the presenter drops a big fat f-bomb saying, "And the Grammy goes to... Cee Lo Green for 'FUCK YOU'!!"
  
  

There's a whole lot more where that came from.  The full list of nominees is at the Grammys website.  By the time I type them all out it will be February 14th, the day after the awards, and we'll already know who won this shit.
