LK on the Grammys

Leona, Leona, Leona. I was so disappointed in her dress. It made her boobs look saggy, her face looked washed out and it did not flatter her at all. The color was awful, if it had been darker or more dramatic it would have been much better. You can't wear a dress the same color as your skin tone. I just expected more, but i do think she deserved to walk away with at least one Grammy.

I won't bash J-Hud too much because her performance was fantastic and so emotionally charged. But her dress was bad, it looked like paper towels and duct tape. The dress she performed in was a knock out, I wish she'd worn that. i'm glad she won.

I was kind of tentative about Coldplay's performance--it felt kind of unnatural. It was good, definitely, but it also seemed kind of I don't know...rushed maybe? Maybe I'm crazy. But the lawsuit didn't hurt too much, they won for song of the year, so good night for them on the whole I guess.

What else? Katy Perry was good, The Jonas Brothers were whatever. I don't know why Stevie Wonder performed with them, I feel like they always just throw Stevie into the most random acts. Miley and Taylor's performance was good, Miley's voice is a lot harder than Taylor's so it wasn't really right for that song, but it was overall a good performance. They looked good, age appropriate. I liked Duffy's look, she's very 50s glam and I like her sound, it's very distinct. I wasn't outraged that Adele won, I think she's extremely talented but I'm not sure how long she'll be around. We shall see. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention Alison Krauss and Robert Plant winning a ton of awards, no one could touch them. I think Alison Krauss always does well at the Grammys when she's up for something and he is--well--Robert Plant, so congrats to them. And let's give some hardcore credit to MIA for performing when she was literally about to pop.

Keeping with the music flow, Chris Brown was arrested for allegedly assaulting a woman, quite possibly Rihanna, and he and Rihanna were no shows at last night's ceremony.....thoughts? http://omg.yahoo.com/news/update-chris-brown-charged-arrested-after-alleged-rihanna-assault/18645
