Do, a deer...

I just want to say how much i enjoyed just about every minute of the Grammys tonight. It was SO GOOD! I remember when i was little begging my mom to PLEASE let me stay up to watch the Grammys. I mean, Michael Jackson was going to perform! Anyway, oh, it was easily the best Grammys show I've ever watched. Opening with the Police, closing with the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I loved the collaboration with John Mayer, John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae. I even loved the Dixie Chicks. I really liked them until the whole stupid-political-comments-on-foreign-soil were made but they really are talented (and I love that the fiddle is played in so much of their music). I heard music from artists I'd never heard of and enjoyed most of it (I mean, who the heck is Gnarls Barkley?!!) I was totally engrossed. What a fun show!

I was going to watch it, but the only part I saw was some lame-o rapper dude that could hardly sing, so we turned the channel. Sounds like I should Tivoed it.

Cami--definitely Tivo-worthy. The lame rapper dude was an unfortunate ending to what had been a great set by Smokey Robinson and Lionel Richie.
