The Ladies....

For the most part, the ladies rocked the red carpet. Many opted for the traditional long gown and looked beautiful in their choices (Beyonce, Keri, Mary, RiRi, we see u). Also noticed that many ladies chose a beige shade for dresses, interesting. However, Jennifer Hudson chose a short black number that I think did wonders for her body. She looked fab! And then there was the WTF category, which went to Lady GaGa and Lady GaGa, alone. You know what though? If Lady GaGa came looking normal I might've been REALLLLLY surprised. Just like violence in the movies, we're slowly becoming immune to her ways. Oh, I guess Ciara might kinda fall into this category too. Wasn't really feeling her Givenchy number. Lastly, I gotta mention our Canadian girl Melanie. Ms. Fiona glowed on the red carpet by an original by American Project Runway winner, Christian Siriano.

The Fellas....

The dudes were looking all dapper on the red carpet last night as well. Trey Songz came with that usual yummy swag and Jay-Z brought out his Sunday best as well. But don't you think John Legend's suit looks a little tight? Something makes me think he was uncomfortable. And, Sean Paul....sneakers on the red carpet at the Grammys? Really? Hm. Whatever works for you, I guess.

The Performances....Good, Bad, and Ugly

Aside from the videos, we have some photos to supplement the performances from last night. Lady GaGa kicked off the night with her peen on full display and a performance with Elton John. I actually really respected the fact that she took it back to her piano roots and did a mash-up of her and Elton's song.
*sigh* Pink...yes the performance was very cirque du soleil, but we're seen this before. She really does have the body of a little boy, eh? *shrugs* That is all I gotta say about that before I get attacked by Pink fans.
The Black Eyed Peas did their thing as well singing the drunk anthem of 2009 aka "I Gotta Feeling". Trust me, see what happens the next time you and your friends get drunk and that song comes on. Instant singing, guaranteed.
Lastly, this wasn't a performance but Michael Jackon's kids were brought on stage to accept an award on their father's behalf. I'm not sure how I felt about this. A part of me screamed, "Stop pimping those kids!" Another part of me was impressed by Prince's (Michael's eldest) composure as he spoke of his father. It was beautiful. BTW, those those Tweets sounding off about, "Those aren't his kids!" and all the rest of it, biological or not, he WAS their father. Sit down.

2010 Grammy Performances

This was the performance ALL Toronto residents were waiting for. The Grammys decided to save Drake for last and then they kinda let us down. You see the Grammy engineer controlling the mute button for cussing had a heavy finger, which resulted in a much bleeeeped out performance. No bueno. But we are still VERY proud of Drake. He looked great up there and everyone in Toronto held their heads high. Thank you, Drake.


The Twitter peanut gallery didn't seem to enjoy the 3D MJ tribute, mostly for the fact that they were all too busy complaining that their 3D glasses didn't work. LoL. Either way, I respected the Grammys for bringing together people who could actually SING to pay tribute to the King of Pop. I thought Celine Dion, Usher, Jennifer Hudson, Carrie Underwood and Smokey Robinson all sounded great. Oh, and to those people scratching their head at Carrie being involved. MJ's music was universal, dummy.


Beyonce's entrance would've been even more impressive if Lady GaGa hadn't had a similar army-stomping-guys typa thing right before her. As @ByronJH (whom I have labeled the Twitter Truth-teller) pointed out, her performance was a bit overrated and not the MOST entertaining. However, it was kinda dope that she incorporated "You Oughta Know" by Canadian singer Alanis Morisette. Kudos for that


So this performance starts and I'm like, is this a joke? OPERA at the Grammys? C'mon son! And then Jamie Foxx turns around and all is explained. T-Pain's silly ass was on stage too of course, wearing a white wig and conducting the orchestra before whipping it off and making me worry that he would give himself whip lash head-banging. The highlight? Iconic guitarist Slash coming on stage to do his thing.

I Call This *Blank Stare*

Are you done staring at the photo yet? I know...riveting.This was Kelis's choice for an outfit to the The First Annual Data Awards in Hollywood last night. Yeah, we know, Kelis is the original bad bish. But this sh!t is just bad. Not bad meaning good either, bad meaning bad, very bad. Im all for high fashion, couture, all that good stuff, but this right here? I dunno ya'll. I think it's just terrible.
P.S. The only props I will give to Kelis is getting her body back after having her baby. Nicely done

Jeff Chery Helps Haiti

It's not only big names like Wycelf Jean who are doing their part to help Haiti. Rapper Jeff Chery was born in Haiti and moved to Brooklyn, NY at the age of 6. He kept close to his roots the entire time he lived in Brooklyn and even moved back to Haiti at one point in his childhood. Unfortunately when the Jan. 12 earth quake hit Jeff's home country, he was deeply affected. But instead of sitting back in disbelief at the devastation, Jeff decided to rise to the occasion and kick off a series of concerts of which the benefits will go to helping Haiti. Jeff recently teamed up with the Grand Hustle family in Atlanta for a Haiti benefit concert that featured Pastor Troy, Young L.A., Nivea, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash and many more. Jeff performed his songs, "Magic" and "Big Face Money", which features F.L.Y, the group behind the hit, "Swag Surfin." Great music for a greater cause. Enjoy.

RiRi Refuses to Claim Matt

Alrighty, I gotta analyze this just a little bit. First of all, RiRi went on the radio yesterday and insisted she is single, saying, "I am still single...I am going to the Grammys alone. I aways have, even when I was dating somebody."
Now, let's take a look at this statement. We all know about the time RiRi spent with baseball player Matt Kemp in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. You know, he palmed her ass, she cuddled with him, they laughed, they smiled, they played chicken in the pool. Good times were had by all. Then we get a statement from Matt's agent or whoever saying they are friends. Then we get stories of restraining orders and allegations of rape against Matt. So, now Im wondering...is RiRi distancing herself because he didn't claim her first, or cause his shady past came out? or both? Hmmm. All I know is Im not the type of let a dude palm my ass if Im not with him. That's just me though.

Spotted: A. Keys Chillin in Hawaii

Ms. Alicia Keys was spotted solo on a beach in Hawaii yesterday. Don't know where Swizz Beatz was, but if you look closely, she's still wearing what appears to be engagement ring. If you recall, speculation was widespread earlier this week as to if Alicia and Swizzy are tying or already tied the knot. Either way, cute dress.
