Alright the 2009 Grammy nominee’s were announced in a very awkward concert. Not shockingly Taylor Swift and Beyonce were announced as nominee’s for album of the year and record of the year, but what was shocking is how unplanned and pretty much unnecessary the concert was.
First of all the graphics that were projected in the background did not match who was being nominated, so you would actually know who was being nominated before their name was called… sort of takes the surprise out of it huh?
Second, the Black Eyed Peas performed (because what haven’t they performed at this year?), their song might as well just been the theme song for the whole evening which, in my opinion, takes away from all of the other performers who were up for nominations. But good for you BEP’s on you 6 Grammy nods, but maybe suggest that the same song not be played over and over again in a one hour show, trust me I hear the song enough on the radio to know that once in an hour is enough… not to mention I live above a bar and come karaoke night hearing that song makes me wish I was deaf…
I will have to say that I liked LL Cool J’s intro… even though Smokey Robinson and Ringo looked a bit thrown off by it…
Nick Jonas performed WITHOUT his brothers, and he seems to be one of those people that annoy the crap out of me and can play any instrument they touch, I just learned he could play guitar. (Im not a Jonas Brothers fan, at all) I will have to say that I was impressed with him and his band the Administration.
Only the big awards were “announced” in the concert, and all in all I’m content without the awkward concert precursor to the Grammy’s, but I give them an A for effort as long as they stop trying.
