Loved the show last night. I didn't watch it live and I thought I'd just buzz through the whole thing before I went to bed but it was so good the only things I could skip were the commercials and Barbara Streisand -- sorry Babs, but your performance just did not have the energy that every other one did.
It got off to a slightly shaky start with the Aretha Franklin tribute -- love Jennifer Hudson -- she should have done it all. But from there on out I was spellbound. Lady Gaga is so weird but she knows how to write a catchy tune. Bruno Mars songs are overplayed and annoying but I loved the remix and can appreciate his musical talent. The Cee Lo's song was funny considering the lyrics. I mean puppets, peacock, and Gwenyth? Usher and Justin Bieber and the whole Pinkett-Smith family are just fun to watch (seriously gonna go see Never Say Never) and I am still haunted by Eminem and Rhianna. I loved Love the Way you Lie the first time I heard it and last night with the flames and the fire it was perfection. I woke up humming it in my head.
The gem of the night was getting to see my favorite band of the year Mumford & Sons play with the Avett Brothers and Bob Dylan. I was secretly hoping they'd pull off an upset and win Best New Artist. I thought Justin Bieber or Drake had it on lock. If Florence and the Machine won I might have broken my TV but Esperanza Spalding? Hmm, Who Knew?
My other favorite of the night was Keith Urban, John Mayer, and Norah Jones singing Jolene--Awesome. I'm happy for Arcade Fire getting best album, but I kinda think Eminem was robbed. You know who wasn't robbed? Muse. Really great show.
