So after watching the Pre-show, we are now watching the live to the east coast telecast of the Grammy Awards... This gives me a good time to recap....
Taylor Swift opened the Grammy Awards and I suppose it was a nice number, I just didn't feel the energy...
Kendrick Lamar won his fifth Grammy of the day, as he received the best Rap Album nod for To Pimp a Butterfly.. I'm feeling proud of him because i was fortunate to be in attendance as Mayor Aja Brown presented him with the Key to the City at City Hall in Compton,CA. gave me an introspect as to his background nd humble begnnings.
The Lionel Richie tribute was pretty cool.. John Legend sang Easy, Hello was absolutely unequivocally royally sung by Demi Lovato, Penny Lover was performed by Luke Bryan, You are by Meghan Trainor and Brick House was brought to us by Tyrese - love Tyrese but it was an unimaginative placment and one must note that Brick House was sung by Walter Orange in the Commodores not Lionel.... The tribute was rounded out by All Night Long.. sung by everyone...
Ariana Grande introduced the Weeknd. And then she felt it necessary to imitate-sing The Weeknd.... It was awful and some in the crowd let her know it... She was booed.
I'm also hearing that Lauryn Hill had rehearsed with the Weeknd and was supposed to sing with him and for some reason she wasn't here...
Also, Rihanna is on our media rundown sheet as scheduled to perform "Kiss it Better" but she didn't.... No word where she is....
My boss Stevie Wonder hooked up with the awesome a capella group @pentatonix to perform an incredible a capella version of "That's the Way of the World" in tribute to Earth Wind and Fire and Maurice White.... it was infinitely dope....
ok. Kendrick Lamar....... that's all I got.
So I'm live blogging from the media room at the 58th Grammy Awards..more to come.....
