I admit I have been late in publishing anything in 2017. I have let my self down so tonight I am going to try something different, I am going to try and live blog the 2017 Grammys. All of them, the whole 3 hour plus award show.
So here goes…
8:00
Adele opens the show with Hello. She looks and sounds fantastic (the dress meh)
Not only is it one of the best performances of the night,but one of the best songs of 2016. I expect her to win big tonight.
8:07
The host James Corden opens the show with a dance number where he falls down stairs and wearing pink socks. Get it, its a joke. Now he raps, maybe he was better on the Tonys. The audience seems as confused as I am right now.
8:10
J.LO!!!! Making a political statement and quotes Toni Morrison ( does anyone believe she has read her stuff) in a bridesmaids type dress, very powerful. She presents the 1st award. Best new artist to Chance the Rapper
8:14
Paris Jackson presents (???) and makes a pipeline statement. I have no idea why she is there, but she introduced The Weeknd. Good performance, but its early on. Odd that he didn’t sing Starboy.
8:25
Its John Travolta with lots of “bling” or just odd necklaces and apparently vision problems, and for some reason is not introducing the Bee Gees tribute, but instead Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood. Next please.
8:30
Nick Jonas presents pop duo or group. Drake and Rihanna were robbed of that award. In fact I was so irritated I have no idea who won, but they took there pants off for some reason. I also hear that Blue Ivy is dressed as Prince so that is something to look forward to.
8:39
Ed Sheean is performing. Its endless, it might as will be country
8:44
Its the best rock award, which I predict will go to David Bowie……..and I was right. I thought that the women presenting the award was going to say David Bowie couldn’t be here to night….and that would have been a moment.
8:55
Shut it Down – Its BEYONCE. and I have not idea what the fuck is going on.
Was it Lemonade Pt2, was it a hologram, was it a pre taped video, was it a spoken word piece. was she going to fall off that chair. Who the hell knows. All I know is that is was a bit much, and Im a Beyonce fan. She is taking the Queen Bey nickname a little to seriously.
9:11
Its a county award, so I have no interest.
Im still trying to figure out what the fuck Beyonce’s performance was about from 5 minutes ago.
9:14
Thank you James Corden for that Neil Diamond karaoke bit, we needed that after that Beyonce performance.
Now if we could get Faith Hill to look like she has an idea what is going on. Really even Neil Diamond looked like had not idea why he was at these awards.
9:18
The great Bruno Mars performs, but not my song 24K Magic. Damm Grammys. Still I understood it better than Beyonce.
9:26
A country band introduces Katy Perry.
She sang her new song Chained to the Rhythm. Now it was no Beyonce performance, mainly because I understood it. She made her political statement at the end showing the constitution on the stage.
9:35
Best Urban Album and in a surprise to know one, Beyonce wins for Lemonade. Beyonce is too much even for me tonight, she has to read her speech from a gold greeting card like she knew she was going to win. I can’t. Who is trying to be Solange?
9:45
A performance I have no interest in, Alicia Keys who is still not wearing makeup (but I van see the contouring from my kitchen ) and another women who I don’t know.
9:50
Now we get the George Michael tribute, and they bring out Adele. That performance left me with tears in my eyes. That is how a tribute is done. Her version of Fastlove needs to be on iTunes NOW, like right now.
10:05
Drake loses best rap album to Chance the Rapper. ok
10:07
LADY GAGA with Metallica, What. the. hell. Sorry Laverne Cox it is actually the other way around. Metallica featuring Lady Gaga. Never-mind the poor Metallica guy who’s mic was not working. Someone is going to get fired for that one, but at least the pyro was working. I am not even a fan of Metallica, but they deserved better.
10:24
The Bee Gees Tribute. In one word it was a tragedy, no pun intented. Also that Barry Gibb had to watch it was the real tragedy
They deserved better that a country band and Demi ( I want to pretend I’m Cher) Lovato. Please. I wish those mic’s went off. With all that talent, that is all they could get. Please. Next
10:35
Hold Up is the National Treasure, Celine Dion presented Song of the Year. (of course she mentioned Rene) and winner was Hello. Seeing Celine and Adele on stage was all kind of right. These two need to do something ASAP. and then to get cut off to go to Solange was so wrong.
10:51
Its the Prince tribute time and they bring out The Time, and of course show Beyonce and Jay Z enjoying it. (Ill take that any day over seeing Taylor trying to sing along) Then it was Bruno Mars doing Lets go Crazy. Lets just say the 2 tributes were by far the best performances.
11:08
Pentatonix performs ABC and I have absolutely no idea why. Complete time waste
11:09
Chance the Rapper performs, if I wasn’t so tired I would have paid more attention.
11:15
John Legend does the in memoriam, which seems late in the game for that. I don’t think these awards will ever end. Like they still have 2 more awards.
11:34
Its almost the end and hopefully Faith Hill will figure out where she is.
Its time for record of the year – and its an Adele night, with Hello. Seems like the right choice.
Now Album of the Year – it goes to no surprise at all 25 Adele. This show was exhausting and it ended with Adele praising Queen Bey. and it Over.
I have to be honest, I was falling in and out of sleep and switching between the housewives of Atlanta during this show, so I did miss parts of it
Until next February. I need some sleep
