Herbie Hancock beats out Kanye, Amy, Vince Gill and Foo Fighters for best album. Diversify! it's about time grammy voters spreaded the wealth.
It's Amy's year...despite rehab and her "blake blake" being incarcerated. Amy W. wins Record of the Year with "Rehab"
Rihanna and Jay Z win for the Best Rap Collaboration.
Um, best comment of the night. Vince Gill, winning for Best Country Album. Says, "Wow I just got an award from a Beatle (Ringo Starr). Has that happen to you Kanye?"
I probably got that a bit wrong, but Vince Gill made the Grammys. Also the camera man who zoomed to Kanye laughing.
Foo Fighters won Best Rock Album.
Feist performed well. I would have liked the dance from her video though, too. :)
Chris Brown also had given us some trivia with Fresh Prince (aka Will Smith) and DJ Jazzy Jeff winning the first grammy for best rap performance with "Parents Just Don't Understand." Ah...I feel old. Especially considering Chris Brown was born that year. 1989. WOW.
Kanye West wins Best Rap Album. People actually cut him off when he's talking about his mom.
Go Amy! She just nabbed another Grammy, for Best Song of the Year (songwriting) for Rehab.
Beyonce has now performed on the Grammys with Prince and Tina Turner. Is she really in that caliber? Perhaps we will think that in 20 years...hmm...debatable.
Your question Anon...you have to text. http://www.cbs.com/specials/my_grammy_moment/
So I love Kanye West. But that performance, with the white sunglasses, lighted violins and DJs and remix...it was awesome. I HAVE TO go to the concert. Most importantly, the "Hey Mama" song, which was on Kanye's sophomore album, was beautiful...I choked up.
Amy Winehouse wins Best New Artist...YEAH! Let's bring the beehives back.
In case you were wondering what Time song that was...it was "Jungle Love". (The R&B band that performed before/during/after Rihanna.)
Carrie Underwood's "Before He Cheats" was a good opening pick as it crossed over from the country charts to pop. Alicia Keys' whole outfit doesn't work for me.

Has anyone figured out how to vote on cbs.com/grammyvote? There doesn't seem to be an actual option ... or maybe I'm just Internet stoopid.
i haven't read this in forever... andy and i just watched labyrinth the other day. he hadn't seen it before. as for the grammys, i love aretha, but no one wants to see a large gramma in spaghetti straps. i was scared she was going to fall out sideways, or have her shoulders sliced open by her straps. i bet you just loved amy's performance. she's so skinny there's foot between her legs. anyhoo! now umbrella is stuck in my head again, after being gone for months. love ya, parpar!
waiiiiiit....... ERNIE IS DEAD??!?!??!
As Ben and I were watching the Grammy's, we were both thinking "Pardis should be blogging on all of this!" So glad you did. My thoughts...
1) Hated Alicia Keys outfit during her performance...she looked like about 2 feet tall and a bit chubby.
2) Did not like Rihanna's haircut. She looks like Prince! No go for me, although I do love Umbrella, ella, ella.
3) I second the comment on Aretha's spaghetti strap. I had to explain to my clueless husband how spaghetti straps actually have to do some work and don't just get to sit there. Her shoulder must have needed reconstructive surgery today!
4) This is Ben's point, but I'll regurgitate. If Kanye had focused only on his tribute to his mom, then his speech wouldn't have been so long and they wouldn't have had to play him off. Stop talking about how great you are!
Otherwise, loved it...
