Grammys 2025

[viewing ownly]

In a typical year, the chatter would be all about Benson Boone's cock. My favorite audience crowd shot of the night was when he was done singing and adjusting his revealing onesie downstairs, a black lady with saucer eyes mouthed the word "Wow!" 

There was a mixture of shockers - Beyonce winning for an album that was generally panned by everyone that isn't a fan of her personally, and no-brainers - Jimmy Carter winning best spoken word recording. I'm sure his competition knew they didn't stand a chance.

This year they tuned the event into a telethon for LA fire victims, and raised over 7 million dollars. All in all, it was a mixed bag. The show dragged on for too long, but each performer did well. It's difficult to be critical of the lack of comedy Trevor Noah was bringing due to the serious tone of the show, but I think they will find someone else to do hosting duties next year.

Lastly, perhaps due to the passing of time, the importance of certain performers dims, but I thought Sergio Mendes was legendary in his field, worthy of a musical tribute, rather than a quick screen shot of him during the "in memoriam" segment.

For those that missed it:

Don't forget the return of Will Smith, which should be an embarrassment to the Grammys. 
I forgot - nothing is too low, too tacky, too gross, or too talentless for the Grammys.

By far the best thing that happened during the Grammys!
