Music Monday: The Grammys

Last night was the Grammy's and I actually found myself enjoying them for a change. Instead of hating the performances I actually found myself enjoying a select few. Here are my thoughts of the night:

Lady Gaga arrived in an egg, and had to be born again so she could sing her new song "Born this Way" which keeps getting better and better the more I hear it.

Katy Perry was suspended from the sky on a giant swing set and then sang Teenage Dream, where even Nicole Kidman couldn't help but sing along. Although, I was hoping she would sing Fireworks since that is my favorite song of hers.

For all the Gleeks out there our dream came true when Gwyneth Paltrow joined Cee Lo Green on stage to sing Fu...forget You, which had Cee Lo dressed as big bird and Gwyneth looking absolutely stunning in a low cut black onsey (who knew you could make a onsey look good).

But probably my favorite part of the night was Justin Bieber's performance because I think it showed that for him hitting puberty might have been the worst thing to have happened to him. At least before when he sounded like a girl he sounded good, now he just sounds bad. And if his performance wasn't bad enough he didn't walk away with any actual tangible Grammys. Sorry Biebs, but maybe you won't be so cocky anymore.

But alas I lied, the best part of the night was when Arcade Fire won best album of the year! Not only did they deserve it since the album The Suburbs is beyond amazing and has multiple hits on it, but it is nice to see the music industry recognize other genres besides pop and r&b.
