The Grammys.

The Grammys.

You can blame this on my new wireless router which lets me compute in front of the TV and Ryan Mcgee’s write up of last year’s MTV Music Awards. He does this better than I do.

The full write up is getting long and I don’t even know if I like it. So it has been banished to the extended entry. The quick wrap up is:

• Norah Jones sings.
• No Doubt’s dummer pops out of a tube.
• Norah wins a Grammy.
• Nelly falls from the ceiling.
• Norah wins a Grammy.
• John Leguizamo says “witnessify”.
• Norah wins a Grammy.
• Bruce Springsteen rocks the hiz-ouse.
• Norah wins a Grammy.

The full chronological write up:

• Dustin Hoffman keeps screwing up on his lines.
• Faith Hill’s outfit makes her look like an insect. Ann feel’s sorry for her because she’s having trouble getting out of her chest voice.
• They better not keep giving the awards to the person who just played or this will get silly real quick.
• Vanessa Carlton is playing that song that was playing on every TV show teaser last season. Every single one. Gah!
• John Mayer is the first artist tonight to sound as good live as recorded. And manages to sound like a 40 something singing “Your body is a wonderland” while looking like a college student who just rolled out of bed.
• Update of the live preformances: Ann’s new theory is that male artists preform better at the Grammys because they don’t get as nervous. It’s just another perfomance for them.
• P. Diddy and some girl are making inuendos. John Mayer wins best male vocalist. Proceeds to thank a bunch of guys named Michael. He’s only sixteen years old! And they are still giving awards to the people who just played. Stop that! Please!
• Eminem wins best rap album for the Eminem Show. He’s sceduled to play later in the show. The Grammys have offically thrown suspense out the window.
• Queen Latifah just said that the Dixie Chicks have already won two Gammys tonight. Wha? When did that happen?
• Well I checked the Grammy 2003 Winners page And they’ve already given out a chunk of them. And there are still no suprises as the Dixie Chicks Wins a grammy for the album their song was just on. I think I might have picked the wrong show to blog.
• Why do they have so many comedians on this show they don’t let them do anything funny? Well John Leguizamo did just say “witnessify”. That almost counts.
• The orchestra conductor looks like Jim Carry. He played his leg like a guitar last night on SNL. The first conductor, not this other guy who is conducting with coldplay.
• The Coldplay guy is spasming to make his repeated slamming of the same ten piano keys seem more impressive. It isn’t working.
• Robin Williams takes a pass at Eminem in his acceptance speech.
• Avril is wearing a bow tie with an actual collared shirt. Instead of her normal long tie with a t-shirt combo. Ten bucks say she’s about to win an award. If I’m wrong I’ll have to spread that $10 among all of you though. Sorry.
• Uh… Nelly wants you to take your clothes off. It’s hot or something. How in the world was this guy in the running for best rap album. He doesn’t rap.
• Bruce Springsteen puts on a good
• The girl with B. B. King, missed rehearsal, agued with the Tele-Prompter operator, then read the audience response. Beautiful.
• N*Sync does a tribute to the Begees. Justin used two microphones. We don’t know why. Maybe he was harmonizing with himself. But more likely it is so he can pretend he is still doing his solo act.
• Norah Jones picks up her third personal Grammy tonight . Two personal and one for her songwriter. I’ve never even heard of her before.
• Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock are performing together, but I don’t think they checked to see what each other was wearing. In related news. Hidden on the side of highway 20 in northern Indiana between Cesterton and Michigan City is a little BBQ shack called Smokies. They serve some of the best pulled pork ever there. I highly recommend it if you are ever in the area. Anyway, Kid Rock signed the wall there.
• Another one for Norah. Maybe someday I’ll hear some of her music.
• More technical problems. They must run the Grammys like I run my website.
• Norah’s producer wins producer of the year.
• Norah wins album of the year. She beat out Bruce! And that means Avril isn’t going to get that Grammy I promised.
