About eight years ago, the Grammys hit rock bottom when the BSBs, J Los, N Syncs, and Britneys managed to get nominated when nobody was looking. What a doozy! It really looked like a re-run of the Teen Choice Awards back then. So let's chew on this one time: this year's Best Female Pop Vocal, Best Pop Vocal Album, Best New Artist, Song of the Year, and the Big Kahuna of 'em all, Record of the Year, all went to Amy Winehouse. Talk about atonement
I don't really need to tell anyone just what an incredible piece of work Back To Black is. Likewise, I've no qualms about Herbie Hancock taking Album of the Year. As far as I'm concerned, the guy's a genius and he deserves the honor. But the Ronson-Winehouse spawn, however, is the de facto winner. I'm a happy camper.
Her slurred acceptance speech notwithstanding, Amy did live up to the hype. Sure, there were "a few ragged notes" but the overall performance was undoubtedly the show's highlight. That and her stunned reaction to winning Record of the Year. I'm sure they'll be showing that clip in the montages for years to come.
Big Mark Ronson won Producer of the Year...nachullally, as the chipmunks would say. Would've been great if the two of them were both there to accept the awards. Guess the INS were too suspicious of Amy's beehive so they shot down her bid to hop across the pond.Oh well.
So put a sock in it, Sara Silverman, 'cause this kid's the joint du jour. Pun well-intended.
