Hey, music fans!! Music's biggest night has arrived. The Grammy Awards was loaded with big time performances and musical collaborations that would make a good CD. Let's start with the performances:
U2 opened the show with a rocking performance. Their new album is coming out this year
Boyz II Men, Keith Urban & Justin Timberlake joined The Rev. Al Green to perform his hit "Let's Stay Together" and brought the crowd on its feet
Carrie Underwood entertained the crowd with her latest song and the female guitar player got good guitar licks
Kid Rock's performance was one badass performance that we'll never forget
Taylor Swift & Miley Cyrus's duet was a cool performance. Hannah Montana stayed home cause she will never win a Grammy
Jennifer Hudson's emotional performance brought tears to my eyes and the audience stood up and applauded.
The Jonas Brothers & Stevie Wonder gave us a performance that we didn't expect to see...hope that their teen fans were watching. The Jonas Brothers performed their song "Burning Up" and joined Stevie Wonder on his song "Superstition"
Katy Perry, a Grammy nominee, performed "I Kissed A Girl"...I have no idea why that song got a Grammy nomination.
Kenny Chesney's performance was somewhat cool
The Hip Hop Summit brought their swagger on with their performance. Kanye West, Lil Wayne, T.I. who will be in jail for a year and M.I.A. who was suppose to have her baby the day of the awards. It was jamming
My Favorite Performance: Sir Paul McCartney and Dave Gohl from the Foo Fighters rocked to a song..Paul and three other lads from Liverpool who called themselves The Beatles. "I Saw Her Standing There"
Sugarland & Adele-a hit!!
Radiohead and The USC Marching Band--odd musical collaboration...got cheers from the crowd
Why can't the Grammy People acknowledge Radiohead?
Another Cool Musical Collaboration--Justin Timberlake & T.I.--Enjoyable!!!
