Grabe hindi talaga ako pumasok para lang mapanood ko siya. It was aired live at 9 am this morning and since I'm always waiting anticipating it every year I just can't pull myself away.
So far it's one of the better grammy awards show that I've seen. I find the performance line-up quite refreshing (I'm gonna be posting some of my favorite performances from the show later, if I find them in youtube). Jennifer Hudson returned with a very moving performance. Made me cry a bit. I'm not a fan of The Jonas Brothers but their performance with Stevie Wonder was surprisingly not annoying. And I love, love, love Justin Timberlake's duet with Al Green! With all the dance record that Justin's been releasing it's easy to forget that the guy has great, soulful vocals. I was really surprised with his performance. I also found myself singing along Coldplay as they rendered "Lost" and "Viva la Vida".
But of course, and that's because I'm bias, Adele's duet with Sugarland was one of my favorite along with that of Jennifer. She effin won the best new artist! I'm so happy for her. I would have preferred Duffy but her hold on the category is obviously strong, given the fact that her song "Chasing Pavements" (I can't get over this record! Adele's a genius!) is nominated as record and song of the year. She also won the best pop vocal performance for the same record.
Okay, majority of my bets didn't win. I kinda overlooked the powerhouse of Robert Plant and Alysson Krauss. They took home a total of five grammys, including 2 of the 4 most prestigous ones, Album of the Year and Record of the Year. But my bet Coldplay bagged the award for Song of the Year. I was wishing secretly that "Chasing Pavements" will win instead, but "Viva la Vida" is just too strong a contender.
Alicia Keys! Gosh why did I doubt her?! She won best r&b vocal performance for "Superwoman", winning against my bet, Jennifer Hudson for "Spotlight". My bet John Meyer also won the best male pop vocal performance for his record "Say". And I'm so happy for Duffy! True that she didn't take home the best new artist award, but she bagged the award for best pop vocal album!
I'm so happy for my idols! Especially for my britons, Adele and Duffy! I so can't wait for the next Grammys! Uhm that would be atleast 365 days from now. Huhuhu. . .
XOXO
