It certainly doesn't seem to. Winning a Grammy used to be a symbol of talent, respect, and musical/critical acclaim - it was a dream sought after amongst every musician, from every genre. Nowadays however, if a musician sells millions of songs on iTunes, who the hell needs a Grammy? People don't even seemingly care who wins anymore, and generally just watch the award show to see who wears the more outlandish bullsh*t outfit. What did we get this year? A few interesting performances, and Lady Gaga in a f*cking demon egg. Let's talk about a couple of the performances, as I don't care about the winners. Here were my two personal favorites:
Cee Lo Green (The Midget Pimp) and Gwyneth Paltrow (fucking really?) - Forget You
I actually liked this performance. Cee Lo is a talented, albeit absolutely silly physically looking artist. I'm down with the gay peacock deal, do your thang Mr. Green. I also love muppets, as I and most of America was raised on them. The pug dog doing the Dirty Dancing routine next to the piano was particularly amusing. With that being said, the fuck is Paltrow doing there? This I certainly did not understand. She can't even sing well, and she has no ass to boot. What the f*ck was Cee Lo thinking? He must be trying to hit it. All I'm saying is that if she keeps ruining his songs like this, one day her head may end up in a box, Se7en style.
Eminem, Skylar Grey, and Dr. Dre - I Need A Doctor
This performance was interesting as well. Eminem is vibrant as usual, making every fan's panties wet within a 2 mile radius, so there's not much else to be said there. Skylar Grey is a name that's not very well known in music yet, but I'm willing to be that it will be. Formerly known as Holly Brook, she used to write lesbian, pro-Lilith Fair style coffee house music. Within the last couple of years, she changed her stage name, sold out, and started writing popular hooks for rappers and R&B singers. Thank you for making the change baby, the hooks on the songs you've written are absolutely amazing. She came into the spotlight briefly with "Where Did You Go" by Fort Minor, and has since written for Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Dirty Money, and others. Chick is going to be huge in 2011, and I wish her all the best (partially because I really want to have s3x with her).
Lady Gaga shows up with slaves in an egg
Title says it all. It's Lady Gaga in a f*cking dinosaur-lucifer egg being carried by slaves. I bet that black guy in the back is pissed off at his agent. I'm not going to review her performance, f*ck her. She gets enough attention as it is.

Let's cut Ricky Gervais some slack.
Not too long ago the Golden Globes Award show took place, hosted by the hilarious comedian, Ricky Gervais. As plenty of you have most probably heard, he verbally roasted everyone under the sun, including Scarlett (would impregnate), Mel Gibson, Charlie Sheen, Robert Downey Jr., Tim Allen, Bruce Willis, and naturally Scientology. Realistically he took a verbal shot at almost everybody involved in the show whatsoever. The issue I have is, what's America's issue with it? Take a look for yourselves.
Apparently hundreds of thousands of people are "upset" at his behavior as a host. In the United States we witness brutal, abhorrent violence on network television on a daily basis. We watch and discuss raep, murder, and even cannibalism on our favorite cop dramas and the evening news (I use the word news lightly). Does a chubby Brit poking fun at our celebrities really aggravate that many of you? I'm still trying to figure out what the goofy-looking, tea and crumpet eating English prick has gotten all of this hate for. Sure he roasted them. Of course it's not generally done with that amount of brashness at an award show, but that's why it was a great performance. His jokes are on point, hilarious, and absolutely relevant.
Doesn't NBC like ratings? Honestly, the only viable conclusion I can come up with is that he made the Hollywood Forum Press and Scientology mad. These are two very powerful organizations/institutions, and his few off-the-cuff remarks about them both were hilariously harsh - not to mention true. According to several sources, Gervais will never host another Golden Globes again. Personally, I don't know what you wieners all have your panties in a bunch over. The man is hilarious. I say beg him to host the show again in 2012.
