I watched the Grammys last night. Don’t know why I bothered. I twittered a few comments at the time – but my typing couldn’t keep up with my thoughts.
I noted that Target was the sponsor. You know the guys : ‘Target – Expect More – Pay Less’.
One of my Twitters:
Dear Target – about ‘The Grammies’
I do ‘expect more’
Is it ‘Payless’ that deliver the drugs ?
Actually, to think about it for two seconds (probably longer than the Grammy organizers thought about their show – I am sure), the Non US readers of this blog might not know who Target is … which I guess also raises the question about the Grammys’ international aspects. That is – are they?
Perhaps it is – in the spirit of Baseball’s ‘World Series’, mentioned in the ‘John Cleese letter’ to the US Goverment … read more here for a take on this …
Still, putting the international aside – the competition was pathetic, the acts were dreadful and the results what you might expect, when you multiply those two elements together. Not all loser results – but Adele over Duffy ? Coldplay – at all ?
And WHAT was Stevie Wonder doing sharing a stage with the Jonas Brothers?
Results per the official Grammy site
Results per the (not so official) Wikipedia
I can’t bear to write any more – I welcome commentary. Tell me it isn’t all over.

I didn’t even watch the Grammy’s I heard it was really bad though.

I watched the last two minutes of Lil’ Wayne and an all star cast that included the Dirty Dozen Band, Terrance Blanchard and Allen Toussaint. It was so bloated it even made Lil’ Wayne look like less than he is (since I happen to like his work.) I haven’t watched in years…
