Open Grammys Post: Hosted By The Promqueeninator

If you're watching this mess on E! right now, then we're rolling our eyeballs in unison at Ryan Gaycrest playing the littlest therapist in the world by taking people by the hand and asking them in a quiet concerned voice about their memories of Whitney Houston. Lawd, I want to run to him, get on my knees and slap him in the face. We don't give three or zero shits about what Parasite Hilton's moment with Whitney was like. I'd rather have a conversation with a wet fart than watch Ryan ask that gutter skank Wonky about Whitney again.

Thankfully, my eyes stopped rolling and went to the back of my head after I this Russian American pop star named Sasha Gradiva (who sort of looks like an Xtina made of melted Play-Doh) sashayed by looking like the secret love child of T2 and Pink Prom Barbie as seen through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino. All these bitches are trying to out-CaCa each other (see: Little Red Riding Attention Whore), but Sasha did it on a budget with a clearance prom dress from Windsor Fashions, a can of chrome spray paint and toy guns from The Dollar Tree. I don't know who Sasha Gradiva is and I won't know she is tomorrow either, but all the foolery on her body is working for me. But I'm probably only saying that because I don't really see a gun strapped to her arm, I see the ultimate no-no poker.

Anyway, this is your Grammy Open Post if you're into it and I'll cover all the fuckery tomorrow, because I'll be too busy downing a doodybubbletini (vodka, Nesquik syrup and caramel lube ) while watching this mess.

Not sure if this was on here or not, but I found this on Twitter:

I’m Not Okay with Chris Brown Performing at the Grammys and I’m Not Sure Why You Are

“And, this week, Grammy producers confirmed that Chris Brown will be performing on Sunday’s show.
“We’re glad to have him back,” said executive producer Ken Ehrlich. “I think people deserve a second chance, you know. If you’ll note, he has not been on the Grammys for the past few years and it may have taken us a while to kind of get over the fact that we were the victim of what happened.”

Fucking terrific, isn't it?!?

Tonight is the first snow I've seen all winter.

I think JHud did a decent job. But I don't think the song fit the tribute.

But whatever.

For some reason, I thought it would be Greatest Love of All or One Moment in Time. Especially after they played the clip of Whitney singing this earlier. But I agree that Jennifer Hudson did a good job, and I give her credit for keeping her composure.

TV on mute for Chris Brown.

IMHO Jennifer Hudson did well for having to pull that out of her ass in less than 24 hours. It was not woefully over sung like someone we know.

So Chaka's not performing at all?

Whitney's body is still barely cold, it's too soon for any assholes to be "tributing" her at this kind of bullshit vulgar event. I agree with whoever said a simple video montage would have been best.

stefystef's picture

The fact that people are willing to perfom with Chris Brown after all the shit he's done makes me lose respect for the industry.

And I don't like this dance music. Don Cornelius would have never had this nonsense on Soul Train. But I'm glad LL Cool J remembered him.

You have to listen to "19." I was also disappointed by "21." Youtube "Daydreamer" and "Crazy." And of course "Hometown Glory" is the SHITTT. Her new stuff is too Celine Dione-esque for me.

OMG I wanna go to this rave!

So, any fellow Texans experiencing "snow?"

Race won't always have to play a factor in everything. Go back a century and Irish Americans were despised, there were quotas to have fewer Irish come, people thought they were trash. Irish v. English isn't a race thing but it was intense. Now, Americans often lump Irish and English heritage into a general "White" background unless they're talking about specific qualities. Society can progress. We don't need to limit the Soul/R&B category to the progeny of those who created the genre.

Dolly's the only singer who never has had to scream through that song.
=====================================

Come on. Dolly wrote the thing, that was her interpretation of it. Whitney brought her gospel background to the song. Different styles and talents.

LaChaylo's picture

What's up with all the woman-beater love for Chris the Bitch Brown?

Fuck that.

That was a great performance by Jennifer; understated, beautiful, appropriate. Thought yesterday when it was announced that she was gonna do her usual screaming, so this was awesome.

Miss Thang's picture

Thank God they at least mentioned Don Cornelius.

I gotta say, if I was Jennifer I'd have a hard time not crying. So I'd say she did a good job considering the situation.

Adele's a great singer, sure, but I don't get the worship. Sadly her songwriting is meh at best.

I think they had JHud do it b/c she sang it for Whitney maybe a few years ago at some awards type show...and Whitney was standing up, swaying, gesturing and shouting at her in approval all through it, lol.

Those bastards left out Don Cornelius too??? Love, Peace, and Soul is part of music history.

I know he died at a cheap hotel but did they totally forget Jani Lane?

@stefystef

I'm african-american and most people I know love Adele and Amy winehouse and just really love their music. For me, music belongs to everybody and to see a lot of singers and artists come out of the UK appreciating and being influenced by old soul/r&b is great, that enables it to live on and on...of course nothing will ever beat the original stuff.

DaddysJoy's picture

Chaka tweeted that she didn't feel up to performing and was mourning with the family.

bambam's picture

I'm glad it's Jennifer Hudson and not that "I wanna be the number one black female singer everybody thinks of" Beyonce.

But she didn't seem to be in good voice I think.

Would've been nice if Dolly could a sang it. Whitney's version made her a lot of money.

WWJDFAKB's picture

Did I miss something though, did they leave Etta out of the rememberance montage? I know they honored her earlier, but wtf?

Did I miss Etta James in the In Memory Of tribute?

I didn't see Etta James either, or Don Cornelius.

At least Jennifer Hudson stayed in her range and didnt try to overcompensate a la Xtina.

stefystef's picture

Jennifer Hudson did a lovely job.

Funny, I kinda wish Dolly Parton sang the song. After all, it was her song and I love when she sings it.

Don't change the rifts of the song JH. Ugh, still don't like her.

LaChaylo's picture

Huh?

I really wish that Jennifer Hudson had picked another song to do. To have seen Whitney sing "I Will Always Love You" at the beginning of the show, there's no comparison. She did a good job, though.

kanderso's picture

In my humble opinion, Jennifer Hudson just nailed it. Good job.

I agree with genres belonging to no one. If we're ever going to get beyond prejudice we need to stop compartmentalizing everything by race. Talent is talent.

******************************************************************

We aren't talking about talent. Talent is talent

But we don't need to pretend that race doesn't play a factor in everything. And always will. Humans compartimentalize our lives.

Fuck JHud, they should have let the Whitney thing alone. Or at least not let someone sing her songs. A nice video montage with a song would have been more respectful.
