The 53rd Grammy Awards were dismal and disappointing to say the least. Don't get me wrong the show definitely had its moments but overall it didn't move me. There were a lot of great songs and albums that seemed to be overlooked by the Grammy voters this year. It was similar to watching the Country Music Awards with a touch of the MTV Music Awards. All the awards went to either country or rock artists/groups. I have nothing against these genres and I actually like Lady Antebellum but good grief. There were hardly any awards for R&B or Hip Hop. 

There were some bold fashion statements made this evening as well. Lady GaGa always brings it and is always very avant guarde. Rihanna looked good. Nicki Minaj, not so much. I also couldn't help but notice that there were a lot people rocking Air Maxs. Maybe comfort was the overall theme of the evening. What are your thoughts on the show/performances.
