Everything that came out of Kanye’s mouth, save his rendition for his mama, was just short of publicized self fellation. I couldn’t find the video where he talks about how he’s “alright” with Amy Winehouse winning something instead of him, so I wanted to put up Vince Gill’s burn.
Amy Winehouse cleaned up and performed with clarity from London, giving a couple shout outs to incarcerated hubby Blake. When she won record of the year she actually looked, in her cracky/eccentric way, genuinely astonished and humble. It was sweet.
Rhianna acted like a ding bat in her acceptance speech and performed with The Time—yes! I love me some Morris Day!
Aretha Franklin has been eating, what looks to be large land mammals and islands; she made me sad to see her. Someone is medicating with food and neon green but goddamn she’s got a voice! Retha singin’ and sweatin’ is cause to reevaluate your faith.
The thing that pissed me off the most about last night’s show was Beyonce and Tina’s performance. Now we all know that Beyonce has hocked herself to every corner of the consumer market but what I didn’t realize was she does it ’cause she thinks she’s the best. She gave a short “tribute” to women performers—bedazzled, over-the-top and lip-synced. Then she did Proud Mary in spite of with Tina.
Tina Turner is 68 years old and looks hot as hell. She can sing, dance and move like a middle aged woman; she showed no signs of approaching 70. It was actually amazing—the woman looked good.
Beyonce at one point (3:34 in the video), knocked up into Tina while she was over doing “proud Mary keep on burning.” Beyonce is so intent on belting out that line in every chorus that she damn near knocks Tina off the stage! Throw in the hair flangin’ and over-done dance moves that Tina created; and I wanted her to sit the fuck down. The whole premise for Beyonce being there was to show respect—she did nothing of the sort.
