My Random Real-Time Thoughts about the Grammys

Watching the Grammys tonight, and thought I'd share my reactions as they come.

7:12 - Boyz II Men, Keith Urban, and Al Green...a random trio. I always thought if they came together the world would explode. But the duet with JT was really good.
7:22 - Gotta love Coldplay, and Jay-Z's contribution was cool. Am now downloading on iTunes!
7:43 - Viva La Vida completely deserves to be Song of the Year. Glad that true musicianship is still appreciated.
7:54 - Scratch that--cue Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus. I'm excited that two native Nashvillians are doing so well, and I'm sure teeny boppers all over America are loving this, but if you are making lots of money doing something, I feel like you should at least be good at it and not because of who your Daddy is. I will now get off my soapbox.
8:01 - You go Jennifer Hudson!
8:10 - I really want to hate the Jonas Brothers. But darn this song is catchy...and you can't beat anything with Stevie Wonder.
8:27 - I freaking love Kanye West! Am digging the Michael Jackson circa-1983 vibe. One of the best out there.
8:38 - If I had to guess the artist with the highest ticket sales in any genre, I would not have guessed Kenny Chesney. Interesting.
8:41 - I'm glad Alison Krauss and Robert Plant's project is getting some love. Such an innovative album.
8:51 - The world might seriously explode!! MIA, Kanye, Jay-Z, T.I., and Lil Wayne on one stage...you can't be serious!! I love how this chick is rocking the pregnant belly (and she's due today!). This is by far my favorite performance of the night!
9:00 - The Grammys are killing it this year with the performances. I'm just sayin.
9:06 - John Mayer? Best Male Pop vocal? Really? Jason Mraz should have taken that one.
9:20 - I do heart Radiohead. And as a band geek, I love when anyone puts a marching band in the background.
9:30 - JT and T.I.? Those are some initials I can't get enough of. Great performance from two of my favorite artists!
9:40 - Smokey Robinson, Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, and a Topp performing...very cool.
9:48 - You know, I used to love "Sweet Caroline" until I realized Neil Diamond wrote the song about Caroline Kennedy when she was a little girl. Now it just creeps me out.
10:03 - Lil Wayne and Robin Thicke perform Tie My Hands, one of my favorites, in a tribute to the great city of New Orleans.
10:11 - Lil Wayne wins Best Rap Album. Shocker! Not.
10:21 - Robert Plant & Alison Krauss perform. If they do not win Album of the Year, I will be very surprised. Great collaborative project--pick it up if you haven't already!
10:23 - Green Day just announced that Rick Rubin just won Producer of the Year. That makes me happy.
10:26 - Here we go folks--album of the year...Robert Plant and Alison Krauss! What did I tell you?
