I don’t know, it was something about the subtle endorsement of Lady Gaga by the almighty Elton John (I cried, because I AM that dorktastic) that has sucked me into the Grammy’s.

So, here’s my “live-as-it-happens-even-if-you-only-read-about-it-tomorrow” commentary.

  • Steven Colberrrrrr. He’s just part of the group sex I’ll one day have with Jon Stewart and Q. Or not. But he’s awesome.
  • J-Lo. Wow, uh, didn’t see that one coming. And announcing Green Day? Weird.
  • Best Green Day tweet: this is like watching Glee do Green Day. Yeah, totally. Boo.
  • Country. Meh. Ok, I’m secretly rooting for Taylor. Shh.
  • Beyonce. I totally respect her, particularly when she grabs her crotch. No, even more so when she covers Alanis. Fuck yeah.
  • P!nk. Fucking shit. Best song ever. Awesome, awesome, awesome. and the spinning, and singing, and upside-down-ness.
  • Um, things are blurry right now. P!nk overload.
  • BEP – I think I was spoiled by my ATS teacher’s performance. Although, that, too, would have rocked with robots, come to think of it.
  • Antebellum. If they weren’t country, they’d be pop.
  • Colberrrrrr! Awwwww yeah! (Not that I actually heard the album, but whatever).
  • KOL! (Totally distracted by explaining to The Husband and Talker that if P!nk comes into the area, my world will stop and not start again until after I recuperate from her show)
  • Jamie Foxx… yo. You were just announced by Robert Downey, Jr., and his horribly offset glasses. And, your ass was totally saved by Slash. And Jay-Z. But, mostly Slash, because he is, yes, awesome. I only managed to keep my clothes on because Talker is watching with me.
  • I just, I don’t know, “21 Guns” wasn’t all that. Sorry.
  • If you can get Leon Russell to play with you, you’re set, whoever you are, Zac Brown Band. (I’m sure you’ll be in my playlist soon, fear not).
  • Today was a fairy tale because… Stevie Nicks. You are a lucky, lucky girl, Taylor. This is like your American Idol moment. Try to stay on key.
  • Stevie, no! Don’t do it! NOOOOOO! Now I have to have find this duet for my iPod. Fuck.
  • I’m going to start a line of designer 3-D glasses.
  • I can only hope that Bon Jovi sings the Lego Rock Band song that Talker makes me sing. Uhhhh…. Blaze of Glory? I don’t think its on the ballot, though.
  • Placido Domingo and Mos Def. Awesome. Rhianna… totally digging the Flock of Seagulls look.
  • MARY. J. BLIGE. and that other guy I should know but I’m blinded by MJB.
  • Dave Matthews shouldn’t dance. And why is someone from Glee even near the Grammy’s? I thought there were restraining orders in effect.

Then it all slowed down, and I went to bed. Congrats to Taylor, mostly for avoiding another Kanye incident.

And, then, my dearest love, singing my favorite song ever.

    I loooooove Pink. And Lady Gaga, even though she’s batshit. Excellent live commentary. I’ve seen videos of Pink do that song with the same kind of acrobatics in her concerts. We totally need to go to one.

    I’m telling you, if she comes in the area, I’m buying X number of tickets and you bitches all better show up.

    And pay me back.

    Well geez, now I feel like I missed something and should get a TV. I want to see Pink, probably don’t need to see Taylor (but don’t begrudge her anything), would definitely see Lady Gaga and Stevie Nicks dueted with who????

    Stevie Nicks did a very uncomfortable duet with Taylor, then sang back up for her “You Belong with Me” song, which was totally surreal.
