thoughts on the grammy awards

Beyonce + Tina Turner + Rollin’ on the River = the best duet I could have asked for.

I’m bummed that Amy Winehouse didn’t end up making it to the U.S. for the show. Not only would I have liked to see her perform live (as opposed to live via satellite), but it also would have been cool to see her accept an award. I would’ve liked that very much.

I haven’t been following the Grammy saga - I just found them channel flipping. But I sure hope Ingrid Michaelson’s up for something. I sure do love Ingrid Michaelson.

Also, a small part of my mind is seriously considering a transfer to some university in Hawaii. I am perfectly willing to trade the prestige of my Northwestern degree for a frostbite-free existence. Not sure how the parental units might feel about that one, but… I’m sure it’d be cheaper! That’s something, right?

Also, back to the Grammys, they just turned the “stop talking, asshat” music on for Kanye West, and he flat-out told them to turn it off.

And they did.

[update: The Grammy Awards hereby win the Abby Award for best random duet combinations. Alicia Keys and John Mayer just rocked my apartment down to the ground. And Vince Gill just called Kanye out on his arrogant crap during his acceptance speech. These awards are awesome. I'm so pleasantly surprised!]
