Feminist Thoughts About the Grammys

First of all, who suggested Pitbull close out the show with Taxi? Is this the American Music Awards or the club or something less honorable than music's biggest night? Second, do you think he uses the same group of dancers for every award show and dresses them as sexy cowboys, sexy taxis etc...? And what is Sofia Vergara doing there dancing in a taxi costume? In conclusion, this sound sounds like it heavily samples from Shaggy's Murder She Wrote and looks like the inspiration for my next big hit, Magic Mike 3: Taxi Time (trademark on the title pending, but I'm seeing big things from a marketing angle).

Has anyone thought about including a female host at the Grammys? And no, I'm not talking about Chrissy Teigen's "hosting" duties with LL on Lip Sync Battle (pouring drinks and passing out the winning belt).  I find LL Cool J to be like an episode of many of CBS's procedural dramas, completely likable, but not very memorable.

I never thought I would hate vampires... but the Hollywood Vampires performance made me rethink that. Alice Cooper is too old to be wearing blood and makeup, someone might think something is really wrong with him. This goes double for Joe Perry because these guys have all been on death's door at some point.  Furthermore, Johnny Depp looks like Captain Jack Sparrow playing a guitar. I cannot take him seriously.

I think Taylor Swift might have been wearing a bathing suit in her Grammy acceptance outfit, but her bob looked flawless. She had a lot of positive things to say and she won several awards despite Kanye West's negative onslaught thrown her way. Fortunately Mr. West was nowhere near the podium and could not jump out and interrupt her speech. Furthermore, she spoke about not letting the naysayers get to you, and I think  it showed in her show-opening performance, where she stood alone, sans dancers and squads, and sang about triumph. She literally came Out of the Woods. #SquadGoals

Meghan Trainor is trying to steal the looks of Adele and Florence Welch (Florence and the Machine). Also Ms. Adele was unfortunately flat (or so we thought) during parts of her performance. It turned out to be a mic that fell into the piano and distorted the sound. It just proves that even Adele can have a bit of a rough time. Start,s they are just like us.

Meghan Trainor, Adele and Florence Welch- triplets?

I realized I want to be Bonnie Raitt when I grow up. It's now official. First of all, she gets called Ms. Bonnie Raitt. Second of all, the plays a kick-ass guitar. Third, she looks amazing for 66 years young and rocks the white streak in her hair.  I love her motorcycle zip jacket, too! Plus, she gave a stirring blues tribute to the late Mr. B.B. King. 

To sum it up, she can make you bawl with I Can't Make You Love Me  and make you feel sassy with Something to Talk About, one of my favorite karaoke songs.

Lady Gaga treated us to a tribute (full video) to David Bowie, and in true Gaga fashion, it was a literal tribute. LG appeared in short, bright red hair, a ton of glam makeup, and a sequined jumpsuit. She fired off a list of hits including :
Major Tom
Let's Dance
Rebel, Rebel
Suffragette City
 (Ch ch ch) Changes and more....

Queen Bey, 2016

Destiny's Child, 2001

Beyonce appeared unscheduled ans almost out of the mist, like Prince, to give out the last award of the evening. Is Queen Bey too cool for us now with all of her Big Game performances to give a head's up she's coming to the grammys and giving out the biggest award? It seems like just yesterday (or about 15 years ago, but who's counting),  Queen B in an an Austin Powers movie and dominating the red carpet with Kelly Rowland and Michele Williams (and possibly LaTavia and LeToya but there's more to that story and their Grammy win), wearing clothes designed by her mom, Tina.
