post-grammys thoughts

my favourite of the entire awards season would most definitely be the grammys. it's really a celebration of the best (and most popular) songs of the year, no matter which genre.

and my favourite part of it is the performances! in fact, i love to catch all the performances during ALL the award shows. obviously, when it comes to the grammys, performances don't get any BIGGER.

this year, however, i felt the performances were a little muted. in a good way. okay so muted may not be the best word to use. it's a bit more low-key. but i like it. they were sooo much more impactful, i feel.

my favourites: pink's hanging in the air one was brilliant; loved the earth song performed by MJ, celine dion, usher, jennifer hudson, carrie underwood and smokey robinson (absolutely moving); and last but not least, bridge over troubled waters by mary j blige and andrea bocelli and david foster on piano (WOW!)

i did like a few others too, but i think these 3...absolutely took my breath away.

i can't wait for next year already.

p/s: to backtrack a little, i say, bring ricky gervais back as host for next year's golden globes! he is HILARIOUS!!! love it love it love it!

p/p/s: can't wait for the oscars.
