Who else is watching the #GRAMMYs with me?
I’m just gonna use this thread to talk about ‘em so I don’t clog up your timeline.

Harry Styles DGAF what you think. He has swagger, that one.
Billy Eyelash has really grown on me. I was slow to warm but I’m there.
Oooh, I liiiiiike the band Haim.
And this song has a tasty Linda Rondstadt-iness to it.

Love them. Their latest album, Women on Music, Pt III, is great.

Megan Thee Stallion wins the first Grammy of the telecast for Best New Artist.
Ben Shapiro just got WAPped upside the head.

Black Puuuuuumas. Love them.
Colors. Fan-damn-tactic song. This entire album is a treasure. Magic from top to bottom.
Get thee to a musicary. Purchase it post haste.

I will admit, I was wrong about DaBaby. I didn’t think he had a ton of range. He’s for real and he keeps it fresh though.
This song, “Rockstar”, is a great track. So is his latest about his brother who recently took his own life.

And Roddy Ricch on the feature on “Rockstar”... my favorite of the new class.
Roddy Ricch is the one.

I like this Bad Bunny song despite understanding every 20th word and wishing I remembered more Spanish.
Side note: very Game of Thrones stage.

Dua Lipa up next. Hope she does “Levitate” with DaBaby coming out for the cameo.
Yeaaaah, boy.
That song is a bop.
And now Lipa is on to a Jazzercise medley in what are clearly excer-fitness costumes.

Bruno Mars throwing it back with Anderson Paak. I don’t know him. Welp, there’s a new catalog to check out.
And as for Mars, man he is just talented AF.

Taylor Swift coming up soon. The #GRAMMYs just love mashups and one of the songs of her latest album features HAIM... might be a duet on the way.
Miranda Lambert wins Country Album of the Year. I have a soft spot for Lambert. Good for her.
Taylor Swift joined by Jack Antonoff.
Just bought tickets to what may be my first concert since 2019. Antonoff’s band Bleachers. I posted a couple of their tunes recently.
Antonoff is a Jersey boy. That’s how you know he is to be trusted.

Lionel Richie coming up in a segment to honor Kenny Rogers.
Lemme just lay this down: Lionel Richie put on one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.
If you have a chance to see him, do it. Just take my word for it.

Harry Styles wins for “Watermelon Sugar”
Saunters up in Easter colors. A yellow plaid jacket and pink boa. Somehow pulls it off.

Lionel Richie covering “Lady” - which he wrote and Kenny Rogers recorded.
I saw a documentary where they performed together. Excellent. Find it if you can.

I missed who this is honoring John Prine.
According to the comments, it was either Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, Brandi Carlile, or Brandi Carlile.
I think it was Brandi Carlile.

Brittany Howard of Alabama Shakes has pipes for days. Wow. Killed that.
She reduced Coldplay’s Chris Martin to the backup band.

Ooooh, Mickey Guyton. Excellent.
It is the industry that has kept country lily white not the music.
Guyton is a testimony to how much of a loss that has been for the genre. She’s amazing.

And not to diss Miranda Lambert who I like but “Bluebird” kinda proves the point. It is fine. It is pleasant. It is not special, different or noteworthy.
But here comes the stellar Maren Morris with the tedious John Mayer.
But here comes the stellar Maren Morris with the tedious John Mayer.
True story: a woman I was dating was with two friends in a lounge in SoHo.
Mayer was there. Eyes them up. Comes over, tries to chat them up and then is like “Hey, sorry, no pictures tonight, ladies.”
They look at each other like “Who does he think wants his picture here?”😂🤣

Song of the Year...
H.E.R. - I Can’t Breathe
That woulda been my guess. Not like Roddy Ricch or Post Malone had a chance there; this isn’t Eilish’s moment; and Beyoncé has LeBron disease: great is her normal; doesn’t get the consideration when merely very good.

Commercial for “In the Heights”
I can’t wait for that one. The musical was fantastic - and that’s my old neighb. That’s the part of the city that birthed the Hoarse.
You can take the boy out of the Heights; you can’t take the Heights out of the boy.

Meghan the Stallion coming up...
Everybody talking about WAP but Ratchet is the jam.
Classic. Boogie. Ratchet.
Relatable. That’s the Hoarse ethos.

The thing I like about Meghan thee Stallion is that she doesn’t give a remote shit whether you approve.
Now we pivot to Cardi B before looping back for the W.A.P. duet, I assume.

Somewhere, Ben Shapiro just turned up the dehumidifier to 100 and is now hiding in a broom closet.
Missed a couple things there. Sorry.
Post Malone up next. Looking fit and well. Good to see. Looked like he may have been going down a not terrific road last year.

What’s with Post Malone going all rock and roll?
He musta watched Machine Gun Kelly rocking out on Ryan Seacrest’s New Years Eve show.
He’s ‘hip-pop’. Rocking out isn’t his lane. “Sunflowers”. That kind of thing.

Best pop vocal album of the year goes to Dua Lipa.
Gotta be honest, surprised Taylor Swift’s “Folklore” didn’t win there. Swift has won when she shouldn’t have, so certainly no injustice there.

Lil Baby up now.
He is getting a ton of traction because he drops new music, like, every five minutes.
In the last year, he has dropped seven singles and three albums. The man is prolific.

My son and I were just talking about Lil Baby vs. Roddy Ricch. First time I ever listened to Ricch, I told my son “He’s next. He’s the one.” He has dropped hit after hit since.
Lil Baby is built for the times though. You’re prolific or out of mind. Produce fast or fade.

Beyoncé wins for best R&B performance - and breaks the all-time Grammy’s record for most wins by any artist...
...and just think of the multitude of times she should have won but got jobbed.

Doja Cat... entertaining... though “Say So” is a little bubblegum for me.
Then again, my son won’t let me listen to “Juicy” because I insist on singing.
🎶 If you can see it from the front, wait til you see it from the back (back back back back) 🎵

Hahahahaha. I just posted about Taylor Swift and Folklore and voila, Folklore wins album of the year.
Black Pumas should have won for their eponymous debut album.
Boo. Black Pumas’ album was the best album of the year. I’m sorry, Folklore was not.

I am not afraid to say this:
BTS are fucking adorable.
Their virtual concert was a blast. A technical achievement. If you can find it, it’s worth the watch. They didn’t just overcome the limits of going virtual, they used the medium to create a new online music experience.

Here’s my man, Roddy Ricch. Let’s gooo.
Meh. Didn’t do himself justice there.
His performances at last years BET Awards with DaBaby and then solo were better.
“The Box” is a good track. That was boring. “Lemonade” is the hit du jour. shoulda played that.

Ringo Starr presenting Record of the Year...
Come on... be Colors.
But it’s gonna be Savage.

LOL. Wrong and wrong.
Billie Eilesh.
And she gracefully devotes her speech to saying Meghan Thee Stallion should’ve won.
Nice touch. But she’s right. Meghan thee Stallion got jobbed.

Even Eilish knew that was a robbery.
Funny how that seems to happen over and over at the Grammy’s. Sour note to end an otherwise fun eve.
The Grammy’s... shaking my head... affirming criticism... again.
