People have been talking about the Superbowl, and everyone's starting to make their Oscars bets, and I'm still pissed about Taylor Swift winning Album of the Year at the Grammys (together with a whole bunch of golden gramophones she didn't deserve).
Her off-key performance still makes me cringe like nails on a chalkboard, and I'm starting to suspect that she's nothing but a nicely packaged commercial popstar who's vocals are as good as the latest synthesizer. And to her record label who came to her "defense", puh-leez. Shove that whole "she's the voice of the new generation" crap up your ass, 'cause this ain't a Pepsi commercial. Shouldn't the Grammys be recognizing the revolutionary and the innovative artists of our time, who have shaped the music industry and left creative footprints to inspire the next generation of music wannabes? Taylor Swift just isn't extraordinary enough, with her cliche teeny-bopper love songs and average vocal quality. So what if she can write her own songs and play the guitar? There are millions out there who can do that; they're all over MySpace and YouTube. Now I'm not crazy over Lady Gaga, but that haute-couture-gay-extraordinaire of a woman deserved an award for resurrecting the electro dance pop culture of America (it's been quite dead since Boy George and 2 Unlimited). And the Black Eyed Peas has also proven themselves worthy by being a monster hit-churning machine. Never mind Beyonce - she has enough Grammys to sell on eBay.
This year at the Grammys was extremely disappointing - where was Kanye West when you needed him?
