It's time for my annual tradition of watching cool musical performances with some awards sprinkled in between. This year, for the first time in eons, LL Cool J is NOT hosting. This year, that "honor" goes to The Late, Late Show's James Cordon of "Carpool Karaoke" fame... let's see how well he can control this wild bunch..
- Yay Adele is singing first! Can she just sing the whole time?
- Okay the weird picture-in-picture thing going on on the screen behind her is super-annoying. Maybe they shouldn't have put the screen *right* behind her...
- James Cordon's opening intro/dance disaster was less than funny.
- His rapped monologue was good though.
- J-Lo is getting political.. now you know we're in deep sh*t.
- So John Travolta has finally admitted to not being able to read the teleprompter. (Two years too late.) Next, can he finally admit that's not his real hair?
- The psychedelic scrolling background stolen from Real Player (or was it the Windows Music player?) behind Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood is hurting my eyes.
- Twenty One Pilots missed the pantless LA Metro ride day by a month or so...
- Jetsetter and one-man band Ed Sheeran.... from SNL to the Grammy stage in 16 hours (+ a 3-hour time change). I keep meaning to actually buy his music. He's awesome.
- And David Bowie wins Best Rock Song for "Blackstar." #sniff
- Since when do singer's moms get to do Grammy intros? I guess when they are Beyonce's mom...
- So is this pregnancy going to be Bey's next concept album?
- Um... how can these professional musicians (roped into a live Carpool Karaoke) NOT know the words to "Sweet Caroline"? Shame on you John Legend... for that, the two songs you're performing at the Oscars this year should lose. (Props to J-Lo for at least getting into the performance aspect.)
- Bruno Mars looks like he's going to the Olympics.
- And OMG.. I swear that triangle thing behind/above him is leftover from the NHL All-Star Game! #staplescenterhand-me-downs
- If anyone can follow Beyonce, it's Katy Perry! Love the #resist armband! And The U.S. Constitution graphic. The fence makes more sense now. (Yes, it takes me a while...)
- I'm really loving Gary Clark Jr. lately.... makes me wish I'd shown up earlier to the Foos concert he opened for on the Sonic Highways tour.
- Adele performing the George Michael tribute. #love
- Adele's luck with earpieces on Grammy live shows. #hate
- Seen just now on the EW Twitter: "Only Adele could make the Grammy's start over." Yep. #queen
- "I'm sorry. I can't mess this up for him." #sniff #love
- She slayed. Beautiful.
- Lady Gaga with Metallica. Not as odd as you'd think...
- What is odd is James Hetfield's microphone not working. Someone's not getting hired as a sound tech again next year.
- Note: Demi Lovato was not alive when Stayin' Alive came out. Neither was Tori Kelly. Lady Antebellum was... well most of them.
- How sad is it that they keep cutting to Barry Gibb.. the sole remaining Gibb. #sniff
- Andra Day apparently thinks kimonos were big in the '70s. She wasn't alive then either.
- Yay! Adele's "Hello" wins Song of the Year. #love
- Cutting off her co-writer Greg Kurstin to intro a Tribe Called Quest #hate
- The Prince tribute from The Time isn't nearly as sad as the George Michael tribute was...
- And now "Let's Go Crazy" -- my fave Prince song. Bruno has the look down. But he still reminds me more of Michael Jackson.
- Bruno also has the guitar playing down. Wow!
- Yay Adele's "Hello" wins Record of the Year! And yay Adele for calling the producers out for cutting Greg off last time!
- Yay Adele's "25" wins Album of the Year! I love that album... shows her true beauty, heart and sass. #love
