So, Amy Winehouse was the big winner of the night. Her performance was, well, odd! Her loving tribute to her incarcerated husband, her song Rehab, and her bizarre acceptance speech (and I use the term loosely) were strange to say the least. For a woman who is supposed to be recieving treatment for substance abuse, she sure seemed out of it! By honouring her, it seems to me that the grammys are glamourizing drug abuse and law breaking. I am well aware that drug addiction crosses all socio economic lines and once it has hold of a person, it is very difficult to kick. But, with all the wonderful musical artists out there who promote clean living, good morals, decency and honesty, why do we honour the antithesis?
Kanye West performed a tribute to his mother who passed away recently. It was very nice, although not my style of music. But, here again, he is one of the big winners, when last year he whined and stomped his feet and threw a tantrum that would put any two year old to shame. This year his blatant self promotion was sickening! Yuck.
There were some fun performances with some very talented people - very much enjoyed the Tina Turner and Beyonce duet of proud mary.
Lest you think I watched the entire broadcast, nothing could be farther from the truth. I actually watched Extreme Makeover Home Edition - much more inspiring - and only turned to the grammy's during commercials. Just happened to catch Amy, Kanye, and the proud mary duo.
Tell me what you think? Am I way off base?

Im with you all the way, thats why I dont watch them, glamorizing these people is way over the top and teaching our young the opposite of what they should be learning, what also drives me up the wall is People like the Spears sisters are allowed to remain in the spot light, make records, reap millions of dollars, what they really need is there heads bashed together and locked away in a convent or something where they might regain some values, and there mother with a parenting book, good grief!!
I cant stand any of the hype garbage over the likes of Paris Hilton who has done nothing except make stupid videos that get sensationalized all over the papers, internet television, give me a break!!!! See what you started lol, and was looking at that who is still alive site the other day and see Ike Turner had died of a drug overdose at nearly 70 years old...crazy crazy crazy...Have a good day, im off to work.
AMEN SISTER!!! lol
