The 52nd annual Grammy Awards aired last night and proved that without Kanye, award shows can be a bit of a bore.
The night started off quite energetic with performances by the always entertaining Lady Gaga and the Diva herself, Beyonce; but the night slowly got me to yawn status when Green Day performed. Although I have mad respect for their music, the performance last night was a tad bit boring.
And then there was Pink. I have to give the singer her props for being able to belt out a tune all while hanging upside down drenched in water, but give it up, girl! We have seen that same act too many times!
As for the Michael Jackson tribute, it was a nice way to pay respects to the King of Pop. Some of the best in the business came together to sing in honor of MJ. Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, Celine Deon and Smokey Robinson all sang beautifully, but what was with the 3D affects? Supposedly if you had 3D glasses, you could see images projected in the third demotion from your television. However, according to tons of posts on twitter it didn’t matter if you had the glasses or not. The blurriness of the images made people’s eyes hurt a great deal. I actually had a pair of 3D glasses left over from a viewing of one of these recent 3D flicks and still did not get that affect. I ended up taking them off due to instant headache! Great attempt guys, but maybe try a little harder next time if it involves audience participation and the usage of props.
Soon after, the end of the show was nearing. Thank god for the performance by Drake, Lil Wayne, Eminem and Travis Barker of Blink 182. I can honestly say this was one of the best performances of the night. 
The young pop/country singer walked away with four Awards last night. Although she deserves a big round of applause, I think the general consensus is that many other talents last night were brutally robbed!!
So what is in store for next year’s awards? We can only hope that next year, those who deserve to win actually win.
