- One pill makes you larger, one makes you small, and the one that Taylor took gave her no talent at all:
- Taylor Swift, kicked off the big night performing her nominated song “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” leaving viewers questioning whether they were watching the Grammy’s or a Barnum & Bailey’s Circus act. Swift’s overtly exaggerated performance included a bedazzled white-top hat in resemblance to that of the Mad Hatter, men on stilts, ballerina’s and dancer’s dressed as rabbits; a juvenile performance indeed for the 23-year old singer/songwriter. She ended the act with the line, “So he calls me and goes, I still love you…” and I’m like, “I’m sorry, I’m busy opening the Grammy’s” an obvious nod to ex-boyfriend and One Direction star Harry Styles. One thing is for certain, if nobody dates Taylor Swift for a year she won’t have any material to turn into a song.
- Elton John/Ed Sheeran Duet
Elton John and Ed Sheeran made the perfect “A. Team” with their rendition of Sheeran’s hit song. Sheeran said before the show, “He rung me up one day and said, “How would you feel about performing with me at the Grammy’s?’ I was like, “I’ll check my schedule,’ “ he laughed. Talk about a British Invasion!
*A Night of “Fun.”
Fun’s win capped off a whirlwind career, with Song of the Year for “We Are Young” and Best New Artist. The groups hit single got airplay during the 2012 Super Bowl by way of a Chevrolet Ad and a December 2011 cover on Glee. However, the Chevrolet Ad allowed a massive audience to Janelle Monae’s assisted single, which was playing as the Chevy Sonic set forth on it’s epic flight, signaling an upward trajectory for the hit.
*The Black Keys Win Big
The blueys duo won Best Rock Performance and Best Rock Song for “Lonely Boy” while their seventh studio album “El Camino” was awarded Best Rock Album. The Black Keys nubbed out Jack White’s “Freedom at 21”, Mumford and Son’s “I Will Wait”, Muse’s “Madness” and Bruce Springsteen’s “We Take Care of Our Own” for Best Rock Song. The luck continued when the group beat Coldplays “Mylo Xyloto”, Muse’s “The 2nd Law”, Bruce Springsteens “Wrecking Ball” and Jack White’s “Blunderbuss” for Best Rock Record. Fans eagerly await the group’s next release.
*Justin Timberlake: He looks like vanilla fluff, but he grooves like the chocolate that melts in your mouth, not in your hand
Justin timberlake launched his musical comeback with a compelling performance, during which Jay-Z joined him for their duet “Suit & Tie.” JT also performed “Pusher Love Girl” a song off of his upcoming album “The 20/20 Experience, which briefly turned the telecast black and white. His recent neo-soul crossover closely resembles Luther Van dross.
