And The Grammy Goes To...

Last night's Grammy awards was one of the most watchable in recent memory. Before we get to the winners, here is a list of the night's top performers.

Kanye West, Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, T.I., and M.I.A.- “Swagga Like Us." This must have been like watching The Rolling Stones, Nirvana, and Radiohead for black guys. I gotta admit I thought it was cool.


Paul McCartney and Dave Grohl- “I Saw Her Standing There.” How cool was it to see Grohl bashing away on the drums like the good ole days?


The Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder- “Burning Up” and “Superstition.” Not so much Burning Up but the brothers looked like they were having a ball singing Superstition with Wonder.


Kid Rock- "Amen", "All Summer Long", and "Rock N Roll Jesus." This was the best one of the show. Well, at least it rocked.

How cool to see Kings Of Leon get the credit they deserve. Justin Timerlake is the coolest person I have never met. Danger Mouse got screwed. Too many performers and not enough awards given out to the live audience. Now go buy KOL's Only By The Night!
