grammys....

so beyonce joins the likes of lauryn hill, alicia keys, norah jones in the recent successes of female singers. somehow i never got used to that yet. sure beyonce is good, but artists such as keys and jones were on a different level altogether. its like, lauryn hill emulated; out from a former group, then make it on your own.

big congrats goes to outkast! heeeeaaayy.. yeaaa....

but i think the awards show was a highlight of fashion disaster. aguilera was totally off, bad hair, bad dress n when they were having a huge funk performance, my god, bunch of people in orange striped clothes, green suits, etc. but i definately liked it, if tts wats funk is about, then i think im gonna be listenin to a whole lotta funk pretty soon.

white stripes performance was awesome. i thought there would be another case of boob show coz meg white's strap slid from her shoulders and if she had kept drummin, her top would hav fallen off. but other than tt, jack white rock.

sting n sean paul's performance was not really necessary. prob due to tech prob. sean paul's raggae didnt come out well. sting should hav just left it at the beatles tribute.

sad audioslave didnt get rock album of the year. had to go to foo fighters.

but overall, i think this yr was more about the janet jackson scandal n tributes to oldies. i mean, its only coz these legends r dyin tt they're nominated for some song tt was unreleased during their time. juz coz they're dead n they release it now, they're gd. tt doesnt justify the standard of the awards. its awarded to hits/successful songs, not some song which becomes popular coz of the artists' legacy and as a pity. tts juz wrong. i dont think they were fitful winners at all.

but then again, i could go on about whole lotta artists' integrity. how cry me a river is more popular coz its like justin tryin to get back at britney and how christina's successive hits are popular juz coz its sung by christina, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

yea i said it.

anyway, the way they played senorita yesterday, well, thats how tt song should b played. best version so far. giv it a southern funk feel, then the song sounds oh so well.
