J&M Snark the Grammies

Joan: I found it so weird that U2, coldplay and radiohead performed. I wonder if u2 and radiohead sat there watching coldplay accept award after award and were like: these dudes ripped us off! And I wonder how joe satriani feels not winning a grammy while suing them for plagiarism. Also, they looked like they were in some disheveled pastel army. They need to stop dressing in uniform. It’s cheesy.

Melissa: omg, right on the freakin' nose, chickie, with these comments. ugh. i needed a barf bag watching coldplay and all the awards they bagged. i loved loved radiohead's performance and that marching band business kicked some major ass. wonder what will happen with the joe satriani lawsuit? wouldn't it just be something if coldplay had to hand over all profits from that song to JS

Joan: Yes, it would. It would be just desserts. I can’t believe how far they’ve sunk on my list. I still love those 1st 3 cds. But this one is just trash. Viva la Vida and a couple of other tracks are worthwhile. But... COME ON. They did not deserve 3 grammies last night. And yes, Radiohead’s performance was a-maz-ing. That marching band was incredible. BTW: I know you hate katy perry — and I think I might now after last night. She should not be allowed to sing live. It’s clear she ain’t got the chops. Reallllly bad.

Melissa: Smokey Robinson's face was frozen in time. Robert Plant looked like a swamp monster. and in what dimension are we living in that the jonas bros and steve wonder shared the same stage? lil wayne looks like a leprechan.

Joan: First, let me recover. Those comments killed me... OK. I enjoyed the Four Tops number, cause I’m all retro can crap. U know. But Smokey Robinson hasn’t aged since the 60s and I’m now thinking it’s bec of the botox.I also worship the ground Robert Plant walks on... So, natch, I loved that they won for what happens to be a very good CD. I cannot say a bad thing about him. You can’t make me. Oh god... I was thinking that the Jonus Bros, stoopit Hannah Montana and dopey Taylor Swift need a separate grammy tween category. Bec it’s not fair that they should be up for the same categories as professional, legitimate recording artists. Give em a few years — if they stick around and do something worthwhile, then award them. Otherwise, GIMME A BREAK.

Melissa:
ain't no way, no how that we're gonna hear about hannah montana, taylor swift, or the jonas bro in 2-3 years' time. i'm not into that four tops stuff so NEXT. and the keith urban, john mayer, bb king thing gave me d-chills. john mayer needs to wear a bag over his head at all times. doucheface.


Joan: why wasn’t jennifer anniston with him last night? Gimme a break. They can’t be seen together? Just like fishsticks and her hubby — they can’t sit together???? She shows up to intro radiohead (the band her hubby rips off) but can’t be seen on the red carpet or in the audience w/him? Like anyone cares so much???? Like people’s heads would explode if they saw them together? Last I checked — your partner escorts you to these things to show support.

Melissa: it irked me that fishsticks intro'ed radiohead. like she's the first lady of rock and get the honor of intro'ing them? gimmeabreak. i'm so sick of the aristocractic, pretentious air surrounding her. and jennifer aniston has a movie to pimp, might as well take advantage of the sitch by putting in an appearance. overall, i sooooo do not give a rat's ass about aniston and mayer and fishy and chris martin. they can disappear into ass-kissing hell for all i care

Joan: frankly, I think movie stars shouldn’t be presenters on the grammies, or any music award show. There’s enough musicians to bring up. It’s kind of insulting. This chris brown/rihanna thing it blowing my mind. He really needs to be put in prison.

Melissa:
needless to say, i'm DYING to know what went down wtih the rihanna and chris brown thing. a part of me is freaked out that it's really, reallllllly bad.


Joan:
Yeah, it can’t be good. Judging from what Seacrest said last night “She’s in no shape” to show up. Goes to show ya, wholesome images mean nuttin’. Hopefully, he’s dunzo now. Fade into oblivion.


Melissa:
i knew that rihanna was young but i did not know that chris brown was only 19. geez! too much, too fast.


Joan:
Indeed. I seriously hope Jay-Z kicks Brown’s a$$. I’m sure we’ll know more soon as the story continues to develop.

Some further thoughts from Miss Jen:
  • Why was Katy Perry trying to channel Carmen Miranda? And, she sucked. Running around the stage in a skimpy outfit and screaming 'cause you're out of breath does NOT a performance make.
  • Hey, Coldplay, the Beatles called. They want their Sgt. Pepper's outfits back. Between that and blatantly ripping off U2 whenever possible, I'm starting to wonder if this group ever has an original idea of their own.
  • Kate Beckinsale looked absolutely frickin' stunningly beautiful.
  • Whitney Houston still seems like a wackadoo to me.
  • Radiohead with that drum band behind them was the best performance of the night. Holy CRAP, that was cool.
  • It was good to see Robert Plant win some awards, at long last.
  • John Mayer over Jason Mraz and Paul McCartney for Male Pop Vocal?!? Whaaat?!?
  • Paul McCartney can still totally rock, and seeing Dave Grohl bash the crap outta those drums behind him was great. People forget that DG is one of the best rock drummers ever.
  • Rat Pack? Bruthas, please. You ain't even close. And get that pregnant chick to the hospital before she drops that kid backstage!! Bouncin' around like that. WTF?
  • Al Green put Justin Timberlake in his damn place. Don't mess with the vets, kids.
  • Which segues to my biggest beef of all: Who. The. Hell. Thought it was a good idea to let the motherfuckin' Jonas Pansy-ass Brothers share a stage with Stevie Wonder?!?!? Someone's head needs to roll. That was just blasphemous!!!! NOT. RIGHT.
