The Morning After: Ima Let You Finish (Assessing the Grammys for Me)

CBS

Last night’s Grammy Awards were the highest rated in years for CBS, drawing over 26 million viewers. I, alas, only accounted for half a viewer, having checked out on the broadcast somewhere after Pink’s fluid-soaked Cirque du Soleil debut. Time.com’s Claire Suddath covered and reviewed the performances for us, however. What were your favorites? Were you disappointed by any awards? Or by Lady Gaga’s appearance of relative sanity?

    Spoilers for the season finale of Glee below:

    One beef I often have with Glee episodes is that they move too fast, go in too many directions, try to cram in too much at once. You might say that about “Goodbye,” the season 3 finale, but in this case that approach seemed about right. It’s an episode about graduation, and graduation is something that, no matter how much you plan for and anticipate it, still goes too fast. Graduating is something you do, but in the moment it feels like something that happens to you, suddenly and all at once, like going over a waterfall.

    I thought it was a better-than-usual show. It moved along, & was all about performances & not much about the awards themselves. So much so, I know who gave acceptance speeches, but I’m not really sure who won what.

    Not counting the President of the Academy (because no matter the industry, the “president part” is the dud of the show), Steven Colbert was the winner of long-winded, on-the-stage-too-long speaker of the night (& I normally love him). Otherwise, the speeches were pretty short & it was all about music.

    The show continued the long running theme of pairing new & old performers to collaborate & do a medley, and this year’s combos made sense & sounded good. I think Taylor Swift’s performance with Stevie Nicks showed that Swift can not sing well outside of her own range & style.

    For me, Green Day’s performance was by far the most outstanding piece of the show and will be the part I remember for awhile. Although not the new/old collaboration, the punk band/Broadway musical collaboration was a great way to “change” the music.

    I only caught the last hour or so. Eminem, Lil’ Wayne, and Drake were great… Except half of it was edited out. It ruined it. Does anyone know if they just went off script and started swearing a ton? That can’t have been planned… the edits weren’t 1 second skips, it was up to 10 seconds at points. Terrible.

    Anyway, I think Dirty Projectors were robbed, they totally should have won album of the year.
