It was the 50th anniversary, so the show was all about celebrating the classic with the contemporary; thus, you had a duet with Alicia Keys and Frank Sinatra to open the show. Cher introduced Tina Turner and Beyonce (who just needs to stop- I'm sorry I'm just not into her jerky movements) performing Proud Mary. Kid Rock and Keely Smith performed That Old Black Magic. They were very playful and somehow it worked.
Jason Bateman referred to a cello as a violin with thyroid trouble, LOL. He also mentioned John Paul Jones playing with Foo and said "as in Led Zeppelin, for all the morons out there". I really miss Arrested Development.
Dave Grohl dedicated the record of the year award to his daughter- he got slightly choked up.
Cirque du Soleil performed a bit of their beatles themed show with song A Day in the Life, which is one of my favorites.
Kanye gave an emotional performance clearly dedicated to his mother after "Stronger". It was moving.
Amy, my god- I don't know what to say. She looked and sounded terrific. That girl sang her heart out last night.
The big surprise was that Herbie Hancock won album of the year. Even Quincy Jones, who gave away the award, was shocked.
All in all, it was not boring, which is all we can ask for! -K
