What Suprised Me (liveblog):
After being disappointed with the nominees for Record of the Year, I am happy to see that Kings of Leon won for Use Somebody, which is easily one of the best songs of the year.
Taylor winning for album of the year was a little surprising. I had GaGa or Beyonce taking it on my picks.
How the Zac Brown Band beat MGMT is beyond me. Although to be fair, all the bands nominated (including Keri Hilson and Silversun Pickups) didn't release an album in the latter 09. And have all been around for a LONG time.
Halo won out for best pop vocal performance, which i had on my list tied with Adele.
Mraz beat out John Legend for Best Male Vocal? Weird.
Best Pop Performance went to my fav BEP song off the new album: “I Gotta Feelin” although I hoped MGMT woulda grabbed it for “Kids”
The fact Green Day won best Rock album makes me want to kill myself. Dave Matthews or Eric Clapton should have taken it.
Phoenix won for best alternative album! Called it!!!! Whooo!!!
Jay Z got Best Rap Solo for D.O.A. That would have been my last pick. Beautiful- Eminem, Best I Ever Had- Drave, Day N’ Night- Kid Cudi, Casa Bey- Mos Def, all better songs.
Where are the Nominations for “Empire State of Mind”?!
Em won best Rap Album for Relapse. Wow.
Colbert won for best Comedy Album!!! Although I was secrectly rooting for Patton Oswalt.
All in all, I got a 84% accuracy. Not bad!! I still think that I was more disappointed by the nominees than the winners. Jamie Foxx shouldn’t win for a terrible song like “Blame it”. I’m just sayin’.
Until Next Time I Remain… Predictable.
