Well that sucked ass. I mean the performances were alright. LL Cool J was a bad rapper as it is, but as a host he was the worst.
The opening was Taylor Swift, (doing a Lady Gaga impression) singing that annoying We Are Never Getting Back Together which sounds like a song played in an Old Navy commercial. There was like circus shit flying around and off tone singers and it just made me uncomfy.
Then Fun. tore shit up. They weren't playing anything that was overplayed on the radio, they played there other great song "Carry On". And as it was about to drop to the last chorus, it started to freaking rain on the stage. So it was pretty cool.
Next was Justin Timberlake and Jay-Z and I was expecting a mediocre performance. But JT did it right. He brought out a huge jazz band and it was tight. His singing was good, dancing was awesome, and plus he knew how to outreach to the crowd.
Next was this guy I never heard of called Miguel. He had like a 5 minute performance with the god awful rapper Wiz Khalifa. Good thing Wiz didn't really do anything cause Miguel did everything. He started out in the crowd wailing crazy notes, and then he made the beat himself. He ran up on stage and started singing more to this crazy good song. Then Wiz "rapped" for about 20 seconds then it was over and I was like "The Fuck?"
Next was Jack White and he killed it. For the first part he had an all guy band then for the second half an all girl band. Ridiculous skills.
Then I was looking forward to a nice tribute to Bob Marley. It had a pretty good lineup, Sting, Bruno Mars, Damien and Ziggy Marley. Sounds like a good time. They're singing the famous "Could Be You Loved" and then Rihanna shows up. I try to ignore her. Then they stop. One Marley song??? Really??? Despicable.
Overall the grammys were alright. Frank Ocean was good. Won 2 awards, Im happy.
