Grammy Awards

The 53rd Annual Grammy Awards was held tonight at Los Angeles. And since it was the day before Valentines, I would have thought that there will be a couple of artist who will be in red. I was wrong, only a few were in red.

Anyway, some of the surprising Red Carpet arrivals were Lady Gaga arriving in an... *drum roll* ... EGG. Yup, in an egg and Rihanna is a very teasing outfit. Anyway, the Grammys started off with a nice tribute to Aretha Franklin with Christina Aguilera, Martina McBride, Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welsh and Yolanda Adams. But when did the Grammy's became a concert instead of an award show? They were giving out awards during the break and only showed 9 awards. Lady Antebellum won 3 major awards - Country Album, Song Of The Year and Record Of The Year - which I don't really know whats the difference. The upset win would be Esperanza Spalding beating out Justin Bieber and Drake for Best New Artist.

Anyway, here are the awards that were televised:

- Record Of The Year: Need You Now, Lady Antebellum
- Album Of The Year: The Suburbs, Arcade FIre
- Song Of The Year: Need Your Now, Lady Antebellum
- Best New Artist: Esperanza Spalding
- Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals: Hey, Soul Sister (Live) by Train
- Best Pop Vocal Album: The Fame Monster, Lady Gaga
- Best Rap Album: Recovery, Eminem
- Best Female Country Vocal Performance: The House That Built Me by Miranda Lambert
- Best Country Album: Need You Now, Lady Antebellum

Nine (9) awards out of 109 awards televised in 3 1/2 hours.. there must be something wrong...
