Liveblogging the Grammys

8:00: U2 live
Arresting live as always, but "Get On Yer Boots" simply isn't that great of a song. And Bono looks fucking ancient.

8:08: I hate The Rock. What the fuck? Incredibly unfunny. Poor choice. Justin Timberlake's jokes are falling on their face too.

8:12: The Al Green Clusterfuck-- Clearly, the Grammys booked too many artists and weren't sure how to put them together.

8:23: So Chris Martin's douchebaggery is heinous enough, but did Jay-Z have to lower himself to that level?
Viva la Vida is a pathetic show of U2 wannabe bullshit.

8:42: FUCK YOU COLDPLAY. Song of the year my ass. In other news, who the fuck does Kid Rock think he is?

8:53: It's a dark, dark day when Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift perform together. Without the big rock backup, it's fully evident that Miley really can't fucking sing.

9:00 Holy shit, Jennifer Hudson can sing

9:10 Stevie Wonder backing up the Jonas Fuckers is nothing short of criminal.

9:22: Best line of the night goes to Craig Ferguson "I would have vomited on your shoes and stabbed you"

9:25 If Katy Perry is the future of music, you can shoot me know

9:27 "American Boy" on the other hand...

9:30 Best new artist goes to...NOT JONAS BROS.!!! Congrats, Adele!

9:42: M.I.A. looking insanely pregnant is best shot of the night. "Paper Planes" should've won, but fair play to Plant and Krauss

9:54 Swagga Like Us was easily one of the best Grammy performances EVER. T.I. was flowing like a crazy mothafucka--almost upstaging the other three. And M.I.A., as always, was unbelievable.

9:57: "I Saw Her Standing There" as hard rock? Okay...

10:20: Thom's hair is AWFUL, but that was SOOOOOOOO COOOOOOOOOOL
Full tour with USC Trojans? I say YES.

10:38: Smokey is old. But he can still sing, and Ne-Yo and Jamie are great additions here. Too bad we only have one Four Top left...

10:50: Sweeeet Caroline! Neil Diamond never seemed so bad!

11:03 Lil Wayne and Allen Toussaint is actually a really cool pairing

11:09: Shoulda been "American Gangster" Lil Wayne is so fucking high

11:22 Plant & Krauss seems like an odd choice to close out the night. Good but chill performance.

11:25: In Rainbows was robbed tonight. Oh, well, well done Robert and Alison. Good night and good luck, another year of great artists getting nominated and none of them winning.
