But this is a celebration of music and so the Bruce Springsteen opener was just that -- a celebration of music.
LL Cool J hosts and does an appropriate and sincere opening. A prayer and then a video from Whitney's Grammy performance of "I Will Always Love You." Carrie Underwood was tearing up -- I dare say everyone was. And then his strong intro to Adele - -this was certainly her year and she deserves to be in the spotlight. Umm I believe in the church of LL, he got me all amped up!
Bruno Mars puts on a fantastic performance. I can't believe how uncool he is making me feel. That jam was jamming!
Alicia Keyes and Bonnie Raitt give tribute to Etta James with Sunday Kind Of Love. Alicia Keyes hair looks like Bruno Mars. Pop Solo Female performance is first and Adele goes ahead and wins it. She should just stay up there all night. Love the blonde do. Standing ovation.
Chris Brown -- whatever. How come he always gets to perform at these things? I know he is a great dancer, but is this Dancing With the Stars?
Kanye and Jay Z win best rap performance and are no shows. Blue Ivy for Jay Z and best album snub for Kanye. Or maybe he's working on his fashion collection.
Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson. Great duet. I've never seen Aldean in a suit! Kelly looks good. I personally think she likes Jason, but that's just me making trouble.
I fast forwarded the Foo Fighters, don't hate me.
Rihanna with Coldplay? She sings a funky version of We Found Love and I love it. I love this song. I know I'm going to get sick of it, but right now I love it. Is that just Coldplay on the keyboard? I love the Tine Turner look. Take that Chris Brown - I can dance too! Oh and the nit was the Rihanna / Coldplay collaboration. Why isn't Gwyn singing with them? Hee hee. This song is boringhanna.
Did you catch Willie Nelson singing Coldplay in a commercial? Weird. Foo Fighter won an award and I fast forwarded.
Ryan Seacrest introduces a Beach Boys Tribute. Maroon 5 (Wow Adam Levine is so much cooler to me after The Voice.) Foster the People, and then the Beach Boys -- is John Stamos playing the drums? Oh my god, this is so painful. And no John Stamos is not playing the drums. It seems that the audience was enjoying it, didn't translate for me.
Paul (fast forward) McCartney. I know I should care, but I don't. I know, I have no respect.
Chris Brown wins R&B album and people stand up. Button up your shirt boy.
Oh God, The Civil Wars are going to kill me -- LOVE. I want her voice. And they introduce Taylor. Love her banjo strumming Mean jamboree. I've seen her do this before though, she could have come up with something new.
NPH in the house! Song of the Year should go to Rolling in the Deep. Adele Atkins. That's right.
Julie Mannion would make her spit out her gum.
Katy Perry debuts another song - sounds better than I've ever heard her.
Miranda and Dierks give best Country Album to Lady Antebellum. I think Taylor should have won. But Hilary looked better than usual (good job Jen!)
Really Gwyneth introduces Adele? God she gets to do everything good.
Adele's voice is definitely okay. I dream of having that thick hair. I wish I had been able to see her in concert. Anyone who wants to do something amazing for me would get me into some tiny concert of hers with like 100 people. I'd be forever grateful. (Hi Ed!)
How amazing must this feel for her -- to have the year she has had and to have the respect of ALL her peers. I'm fine with no surprise upsets this year. Adele all the way.
Glenn Campbell tribute. Band Perry was good. Blake was good. Oh who am I kidding. I don't care about Glenn Campbell.
Carrie looking glam! Tony Bennett joins her and they duet. Everyone has to stand up for this. My Idols are kicking it on this show. Best New Artist should be Nikki Minaj. Bon Iver wins. Whatevs, I just fell asleep to the walk up music.
Oh boy, here it comes. Jennifer Hudson sings I Will Always Love You. She has experienced loss in her life and so I think it was the perfect choice. Plus that voice. But how can she do this without losing it. Oh man, how gorgeous. Stunning.
Ummm David Guetta is such a nerd. Chris Brown gets to perform again?
Record of the Year goes to Adele for Rolling in the Deep. God she looks so gorgeous. And she takes Album of the Year. Well deserved. How gorgeous is she? I want fake eyelashes. Can't someone at fashion week give me fake eyelashes? I can't believe she is only 23. Wow. Can't wait to see and hear what is to come. She is a doll.
OMG Diana Ross's dress is so big.
Why does Paul McCartney need to sing again? I'm sick of Grammy doubles. Adele should have sung again or the whole time!
Okay kiddos, time to hit the hay. Lovely musical interlude to my fashion week.
Don't be ashamed of your obsessions...this Grammy's proved our collective obsession named Adele deserved to be celebrated.
