COMMENTARY: 2010 GRAMMYs

Welp, none of my dreams came true last night: Trey didn’t win [damn Beyonce], Cudi went home empty handed AND I didn’t even see him [<_<], 'Ye stayed home for everything, and Chris didn't come flying down to rescue the MJ tribute.

HOWEVER…

Gaga did manage to give me life the first five minutes of the show with her "Poker Face"/"Speechless" performance which did feature Elton John. He looked great and healthy, I loved it.

Besides that, everything else was kinda…bland? Beyonce was AIGHT; that song was mad old for her to be singin' like it just came out yesterday but her acceptance speech was mad cute and I love how Jay pulled a "I don't know what to do with my hands" Ricky Bobby when B went to hug him [lmao].

Dude, she's your wife. You're allowed to do that, you know.

Who else was there? Oh, Maxwell's performance was cool, loved him and Roberta Flack.

MJ's kids were awesome, and I don't care what anybody says: I feel those are his biological kids and I'm ready to debate it with anybody who's down. Bring it!

As for the tribute…Usher was doin' the most, Smokey was Smokey, but Carrie and J. Hud held it D-O-W-N! Celine was kinda miscellaneous. Hey, I'm just sayin'.

As expected, "Forever" was blah for me due to the lack of Yeezy swag onstage and that annoying censoring debauchery we were subjected to. Did the FCC even know when exactly they cursed because it seemed like they pressed the button when they felt it in their spirit, but maybe it's just me. I will acknowledge the magnitude that the performance embodied: just signed rap artist ending the show and getting nominated twice off the strength of a mixtape. Yeah, yeah, yeah; it was a "Rudy" moment, okay.

MY personal favorite moment came in the "upset" of the year, packaged in a young frail country singer. Taylor Swift snatching the Album of the Year Grammy was the biggest "FUCK YOU" to everyone who feels Kanye gave her a career boost.

Let me say this so I won't have to say it again:

YOU [yes, you] may not have known what a Taylor Swift was before last September, but the THREE MILLION people who purchased her self-titled debut album back in 2006, oh they know exactly who she is and always have.

TAYLOR didn't get Kanye in trouble; HENNESSY got that nigga in trouble so stop blaming that girl for accepting an award that the FANS voted on, and for Kanye not liking it.

Did you vote for Beyonce? Did you call Kanye and tell him to tell his people to vote for Beyonce? Oh, you didn't? Well then SHUT THE FUCK UP.

So you still wanna ask who Taylor Swift is? She's the chick who won four Grammys last night and officially means more to the mainstream than you do.

Is THAT why you're mad? OOP! Get over it.

P.S. my vote was for GaGa, but then again I'm not on the Grammy board so that doesn't really matter.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN: “Thriller” – Michael Jackson

To those who celebrate it, Happy Halloween. I personally haven’t trick or treated since I was 12, but to each his own you know? I do, however, peep this video every chance I get and since it’s filled with zombies, werewolves, and screaming bittys who shouldn’t run into abandoned houses no matter how scared they are…it’s perfect for today. Check out MJ in his timeless mini-movie, “Thriller”.

Now go out there and pimp yourselves for candy!

FILM: “This Is It”

thisisit

I didn’t want to hit Google and use a stock of this movie poster so I brought my camera with me to the theater this morning and took this after I’d watched two hours of greatness in the form of the great Michael Jackson.

I’m telling you now, if you’re a devoted MJ fan, you cannot pass up seeing this movie. I’ve never been to a Michael Jackson concert so I knew this was about as close as I was gonna get to it, and I wasn’t disappointed.

Everyone always said how much of a perfectionist Mike was, and it definitely showed in this candid footage that was taken during the rehearsals of the late legend’s “This Is It” tour.

I’m not gonna tell the movie because I did enough of that on Twitter [lol] but I will reccomend that you go see it while it’s out. Nine times out of ten, though, they’ll be releasing it on DVD to make more money for his estate so who knows.

My favorite part, though, was when creative director Kenny Ortega stopped the rehearsal to tell the band where they needed to come in at on “Smooth Criminal” because he thought they were late. Michael put his hand out and said, “No, I’m sizzling. This is the sizzle; I’ll cue them in”.

MICHAEL JACKSON WAS A BEAST!

From now on, if people wanna know why I’m posted up and not saying much, “I’m sizzling, beeyotch.” Get familiar. RIP MJ.

Stay COOL, folks, and sizzle =)
