Welcome to the 2009 51st Grammy Awards!!!! Let's Party Guys


The Grammy is just over and it’s a fabulous night with a little bit of upset at the beginning. It’s not the big opening I thought it’s be, U2 is doing a great job but a one song opening is not the traditional opening they have. I guess Chris Brown and Rihanna is sitting out of the show at the last minute. (Because of an assault case, there’s no confirmation why Chris is in Custody and if the victim is Rihanna)
Moving on, the first award given away on the live telecast is presented by the incredible Whitney Houston. The Best R&B Album is received by another incredible woman in the music, the incomparable Miss Jennifer Hudson who later went on stage and perform one of the most amazing performance of the show. There, if you don’t believe the AI drop-out will be come a great artist….. well with a Grammy, and Oscar to proof it she is a star in her own right and non other African-American women have even walk her golden Pavement for a long long time.
Al Green and Boys II Men and Keith Urban and Justin Timberlake make the first crossover collaboration of the soul, and then followed by Coldplay with a Brief appearance by the Boss, Jay Z.
Carrie Underwood did her thing later and then the award for country Dou or a Group goes to Sugarland…. Finally someone besides Rascal Flatts is receiving the award and Sugarland is the most deserving to take over. And then Songs of the Year of course is given to Coldplay for Viva La Vida
After that Kid Rock did his country and rock thing, and followed by the youngest collaboration of the community Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, which marks presentation the Best Vocal Collaboration to Allison Krauss and Robert Plant, the legendary twosome break down every hot seat in the house and the most popular to win crowd from Coldplay to Leona Lewis to the new comer Adele and Ne-Yo or even Lil Wayne and go on winning 3 more awards including Album of the Year and Record of the Year.
Next up one of the surprise and further cemented the influence of the most popular band and youngest band on the planet now, Jonas Brothers to perform with the legendary Stevie Wonder, and to get Stevie to sing their songs is simply the best compliment for the Jo Bros.
Blink 182 regroup on stage and presented the Rock Album award to Coldplay, who admitted they are far from a real rock band, they are like the soft crème of rock.
and that is follows by an intro by the late late night show host to the most controversial and PG performance of the night, Katy Perry performing her infamous single “I Kiss a Girl”.
Then that is followed by one of the greatest cross country collaboration of the century, Kanye West and Estelle, in their very 80’s look performed their “American Boy”. That later New Artist of the year is presented to everyone surprises…… Adele, beating such favorite like Jonas Brothers and Duffy. A disappointment for me personally is that Jason Mraz who I think is one of the artist of the year have gone home empty handed.
More performance by Kenny Chesney next. A very very Pregger M.I.A. (Due today) perform with the ultimate Rat/Rap Pack of our time, Jay Z, Lil Wayne, T. I. and Kanye West, this once in a lifetime performance you’ll not see anywhere else.
Paul McCartney is on stage to perform his classics with Dave Grohl of Foo Fighters on Drum without the sound blocking Glass which created one of the most classic rock sound performances of the night you can hear the Drum taking in on every mic on stage it’s incredible.
After Jack Black presented with his father-in-law to John Mayer on Best Male Pop Vocal, 2 winner of the night, Adele and Sugarland perform together. Gwyneth Paltrow introduces another British Rockband performance on stage, Radiohead which I think took the best out of the USC Marching Band – the Trojans on stage, they did splendidly.
The T.I. and Justin Timberlake goes on stage again to perform and follow by one of the surprises of the night, Jamie Foxx, Smokey Robbinson, Neyo and the remaining member of the unbeatable Four Tops – Abdul “Duke” Fakir for one of the most classical Jazz moment of the night. Then follow by another legend, Neil Diamond. Which is then follow by more legendary collaborations, from Keith Urban, John Meyer with King of Blues, B.B. King. Then followed by Lil Wayne with Allan Tusson and Robin Thicke performance. Best Rap was presented to Lil Wayne after that of course. which is then followed by the last nominee’s performance of the night, Allison Krauss and Robert Plants perform their winning album’s songs and go own winning the last awards of the night for Best Album presented by Green Day. And the show is closed by Stevie Wonder performing his classics.
On the earlier award presentation before the live telecast, Duffy is the winner for best Pop Vocal Album and Adele is the Best Female Pop Vocal, Eagles won for Best Pop instrumental, Deft Punk beat our lady Gaga on Best Dance Recording and Album, Natalie Cole won earlier for traditional Pop Vocal or our boy, Josh Groban, and John Mayer surprisingly win Solo Rock Vocal with Gravity, and Kings of Leon deservingly take home Rock by Duo or Group over all the great and hot shot like Coldplay, Eagles, and Radiohead. Metallica most suitably take home the best Metal Performance, again! Yet another surprise on the rock side, Bruce Springsteen take home Best Rock Song! I mean are there no more space for real Hard Rockin anymore?!!! Alicia Keys take home Best R&B female, Ne-Yo take home Best Male Vocal and Best R&B Song, and Al Green take on Best Vocal R&B By Duo or Group with John Legend and traditional R&B Vocal Performance with Anthony Hamilton.
Mary J. Blige did take home one for Contemporary R&B Album with Growing Pains and the Rap Pack take in Best Rap/Sung Collabo.
That’s All Be well everyone. Tune in for the Oscar in 2 weeks.
