"How Dare You Interrupt NEIL DIAMOND?" said Michelle

The Grammys...

I'm not going to lie, the only reason why I watched was for Radiohead, and today I realized that I'm seriously obsessed. Whenever I thought it might be their turn to perform, my heart would start palpitating and I would shush any noise. My cell was handy so that I could immediately notify Sasha of when they came on, so she could see them too.

All ridiculousness aside, comparatively this grammys wasn't so bad. There were some good performances, I particularly enjoyed Dave Grohl drumming for Paul McCartney. People told me that M.I.A's joint act with lil' wayne, kayne, jay z, ect was good. I spaced out.

Radiohead's performance was intriguing. When I heard that they were going to perform a song with a marching band, I thought it would be amazing. Although it was great, I wasn't blown away by it, I feel like I've seen better performances by them, for example this live rendition of How To Disappear Completely is incredible.

Thom Yorke seemed almost out of character, maybe a little too enthusiastic in a thug-life kinda way lol, or maybe he was just showing off how hes way better than half of the performers, thats right katy perry, I'm talking to you. According to knowledgeable source the sound guy wasn't doing a very good job, so that might account to why I didnt get butterflies in my stomach when I heard them, as it usually happens. But upon a second look, it was brilliant, they are amazing.

All that aside tho, I thought that it was cool/ outlandish that all marching band members were wearing Radiohead's shirt, maybe it was to make up for the fact that half of the band wasn't there. Thom Yorke's dance moves were heightened in this performance, and I'm all for that--you KNOW he had fun! I'm jealous of the audience.

hahaha, at one moment when Thom was really getting into it, I just imagined Kayne suddenly appearing (cuz seriously he was everywhere! calm down, man... seriously chill.)

Radiohead grabbed two grammys, one for best alternative album, and one for best boxed or special edition album. I guess, its good that they are getting recognition, but does any one really care about the grammys anyway?

WATCH THE GRAMMY PERFORMANCE HERE (poor quality, but the best out there as of now)
