Grammy 2009 Highlights



Besides the whole mystery of who the woman was that Chris Brown put his hands on the night before the 2009 Grammy Awards- a few special things happened as well as a a few strange things. MIA borders special/strange as she performed Swagger Like Us with the boys- looking like the front row was going to get the first peak at the baby’s sex. Thank goodness she didn’t have to do much but say “chillin on the corner” and “Swagger like us.” I give her mad props for bubbling around up there in her little polka dot outfit. Jay, TI, Wayne and Kanye all graced the stage as the “rap pack” lol gay? Queen Latifah said it not me. LOL. Anyway, they all had their suits on and shit. It’s always been a very strange feeling for me to watch a grown man rap in a tux. Throws me off.

Did everyone appreciate Kanye’s MJ look? He looks more like the black version of Weird Al Yankovic. I’m surprised he’s not rocking the cuffed, high- water slack, white socks and silver penny loafers. Anyhoo- I loved him and Estelle. Her voice is just too dope! I wish she sung her joints acapella!

Was Beyonce missing in action last night? I don’t think I saw her anywhere. Did not of her records make it in time for 08 nods? Nor did I see Alicia. But then again, I was twittering, blogging, watching, talking on the phone- and back to twittering. ha.

Ending with Jennifer Hudson. Everyone knows the ordeal she has been through and is still going through. You can see it on the girl’s face. Yet, Ryan Seacrest still thinks he has the right to picking just because she was on American Idol with him. This man not only dances around the subject with Jenny but then has the audacity to call punk over. Ryan thought he was slick but trying to get Punk to talk about how things have been going the last few months. He gave up a little, but not too much. Thought that was an uncooth move on Seacrest’s part but hey you gotta do what you gotta do for the story right?

I don’t even know this song that J-Hud did, and I’m sure she could’ve chosen more popular records but it obviously meant something to her. I think the whole world knew who she was talking about as she bellowed out notes so smoothly and flawlessly. People stood quiet almost wondering if she’s going to break down or not. But in a supportive way. Like I’m sure if she just collapsed the whole audience would rush the stage to her aid. But, that did not happen. She mad it through with a breath-taking performance. I was definitely crying in the end like “I’m here, Jennifer!” LOL

Worst Performance & had to show you MIA’s frock! LOL
Katy Perry looks like she stole Brit’s 07 VMA swag. LOL yeah none

 

STRANGELY DRESSED

Paris Hilton. I don’t know how I feel about this at all. 

I’m not sure I like Kim K in this sugar plum fairy meets the icescapeds outfit. You tell me:

 

WTF is Paula thinking?

 

YIKES@Fantasia

This might be the worst outfit of the night. Estelle looked GREAT on stage with Ye this outfit here though- is ALL wrong. 

I waited all night for Swizz Beats to bust out and start with his version, “Oprah” whenever I heard the Coldplay come on. They’re doing the Sargent Pepper/Yellow Submarine thing if you didn’t notice. I don’t mind it.

 

I won’t put J-Hud on the Worst Dressed list- but I do offer my STYLING services for FREE. No Forever 21 bullshit either! See the problem with J-Huds body is that she’s tall, but thick in areas like the gut. Plus, she’s knocked kneed like me. So instead of wearing knee length skirts they should’ve had her in a gown or a 3/4 length skirt just catching the calves and ankles. Then she would be good. Her face is beautiful she just has a unique body that can’t hang everything like everyone else.

 

Line of the night from Kanye West when announcing the nominees for Best New Artist:
“This award has gone to Bob Newhart, John Legend, Amy Winehouse — but somehow not to either one of us,” West cracked.

WHERE WAS MIKE!!!!? From Boyz II Grown ass Men? The bass- lol. I was distraught when I didn’t see him tagging along with the rest of the guys.

 

How pissed would Stevie Wonder be if he could see those little clows (Jonas Bros) with their non-singing asses jump around like some wild storks. LOL Who made that connection is what I want to know? Who thought that would be a good combo?

And I think I’m going with Kate Beckinsale for Best Dress:
