The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards

The show was awesome! I enjoyed it all from the typically wonderful variety of music to the strange banter. I also liked the target commercials in between. The performances I was really into were Justin Bieber's featuring the fabulous Jaden Smith & then Usher, and also Cee Lo Green & Gwyneth Paltrow.

Speaking of the latter, never before has a skit been a perfect target for dressing dos & don'ts. Of course, Celo was the obvious don't, well NEVER and Ms. Paltrow is the fashion do. It's like she fell out of fashion week. She looked great from the bright pink feather earrings and jumpsuit, to the fabulous shoes.

This show was excellent, but the awards were a little on the nose. There were no real surprises or shake ups, except for New Artist, Esperanza Spalding. I found Rhinna, Eminem & Dr Dre's performance interesting and appropriately dramatic flat lining at the end.

A segment showcased all those we've lost and others be cultivated. It was nice to see Mick Jagger. Also, Nicki Minaj and Lady Gaga are like performance art. Great show!
