So yesterday I promised the announcement of a new weekly column and I keep my promises. Starting tomorrow a new weekly column will appear entitled, “What I’m…?” I’ll share my thoughts and recommendations on what I’m watching, renting, reading, playing and listening too for the week. Why? Because I’ve got an ego that’s the size of a house and I need constant reinforcement that my taste is impeccable.
In the meantime, some running thoughts on the Grammy Awards as I watched them.
Gorillaz sounded kind of weak but De La Soul wrecked the house fantastic.
Wow Madonna still has it and then some. Great performance, especially the dance routine. I ran out on the commercial break and downloaded Hung Up off of iTunes.
I am shocked, and pleased, that Kelly Clarkson beat out people like Gwen, Bonnie Rait, Sir Paul and others to pick up her two awards. Not only that but I thought she tore down the house with her performance. I’ve never watched American Idol but I kind of wish I had when she was on. The girrrrrrrrrl kicks serious ass.
I don’t get Coldplay. They just don’t do it for me.
What’s with the intros before the performances?
I usually love doing these crazy duets but Bono’s voice does not work well with Mary J Blige’s. Also, will they ever stop playing One, isn’t that 10 years old now?
I was all ready to rip on Paul McCartney’s performance but then I saw him with Jay Z and Linkin Park and I have to admit that was pretty okay.
The choir reveal has become the greatest cliché in awards shows today. Remember when Mariah had paralyzing stage fright.
Why are music awards being held in basketball arenas more and more every year? Sure it allows for more fans to see the show but is that worth it when the fans are screaming teeny boppers?
Kanye West is mesmerizing. He’s one of those musicians you can’t help but watch to see what he does next. Loving the step team breakdown but wish he’d done more than the chorus to Touch the Sky.
How many lifetime achievement awards can go out in one night? It’s easier to get one of those then to get on a star on the walk of fame. Seacrest, I’m looking at you.

Have you heard Johnny Cash's "One"? It's something else.
