20 Questions: 2010 Grammys

Another awards show, another 20 Questions!

Ugh, please don’t let this be the typical snoozefest.




1. I don’t know, didn’t you think Lady Gaga’s performance was a little, well, tame? Playing guitar with a filthy Elton John is a little low-key for her. Where were the fake blood and raccoon outfits and living mannequins?


2. When did J Lo turn in to Sarah Jessica Parker?

3. Why did Beyonce think it was a good idea to start her performance of “Like A Boy” with all that hollering? It totally screwed up her voice. But it didn’t stop her from having the best performance of the night.



4. Yes, they’re visually impressive but when will Pink realize her high-wire acts are getting played out? She does one at EVERY award show.


5. At the end of their performance, the Black Eyed Peas declared, “Welcome to the future.” So in the future, men will dress like Janet Jackson from “Control” and there will be millions of dancing can openers?

6. How did I underestimate the popularity of “Blame It?” The crowd went berserk when Jamie Foxx hit the stage. Maybe they were just excited because he was dressed like Cobra Commander. I know I was.






7. Why does Ke$ha always look so disgusted with herself? Maybe she’s not as dumb as she looks.


8. Is it wrong that I had no idea who Stevie Nicks was until tonight? I thought Taylor Swift brought her aunt on stage.


9. And speaking of Taylor, why did she think it was a good idea to perform “You Belong With Me, the Jug Band Remix?”


10. Why is Quincy Jones always chewing? I guess he’s adjusting his dentures.


11. Wanna know why I hate Usher? He ALWAYS has to be the center of attention – falling all in the floor during the Michael Jackson tribute like a drunk at a funeral.



12. Whatever happened to 3T? Apparently they’re the butlers of MJ’s kids. Tito’s legacy lives on.

13. Conversation at GeorgiaMae headquarters:



Me: Who’s that lady with Bon Jovi?

Wifey: Jennifer Nettles of Sugarland


Me: Sugarland! You have a cousin named Sugarland!


Wifey: No, I have a cousin named Sugarman


Me: Well that’s unfortunate for both parties.



14. Why was Mos Def dressed like he spent the evening parking cars?


15. Was that little boy who accompanied Jay-Z and Rihanna Beyonce’s nephew, or did Jay and Bey adopt one of those children from Africa?

16. Did you go to iTunes.com/Target to aid Haiti relief efforts? I can think of a million better ways to contribute to the cause than buying that boring tribute song. Mary J Blige was shaking and screaming like a choir lady during the performance.



17. Why did they keep showing that Drake look-alike playing the sax during Maxwell’s performance of “Pretty Wings?” Was his daddy the cameraman?


18. What does Katy Perry see in her disgusting fiance Russell Brand? I bet every time she comes home he’s passed out in the middle of the floor while strippers run around the house.


19. Why did the censor have such an itchy trigger finger during Drake’s performance? Unless “y’all” is now a curse word there was a lot of needless editing. And speaking of that performance, it showed just how far above his peers Eminem is. He may be insane but he’s a phenomenal performer.


20. Why was Taylor Swift so surprised that she won Album of the Year? The show was clearly built around her. The genuine excitement she showed was pretty refreshing though – much better than the usual smugness from award winners. Good for her.

  1. 2. If by SJP you mean “non-hair-brusher” I was wondering the same thing.

    5. The stero-bots were my favorite thing about The Black-Eyed Peas last night.

    8. Yes, it is wrong.

    11. Didn’t Usher also throw his hands in the air at the end of the tribute – you know, once he’d turned his back to the audience and was staring up at the pictures of MJ? Sorta made me feel like it was uncomfortable cult church.

    19. I didn’t really know what he was saying, but Eminem sounded awesome. I was a little put off by Lil Wayne’s bootie sticking out of his trousers. 😉

  2. 19. i read one article that described it as a “crater of silence”
