The 52nd Annual Grammy Awards took place tonight and the ratio for videos to awards announcements were 3 to 1. Either way, Lady Gaga and Elton John’s duet rocked it.
The highlight of the evening was Pink’s performance of “Glitter In The Air” as performed in the air and wet. Also of note was the Michael Jackson tribute performed by Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Usher.
Michael Jackson’s children, Prince and Paris, took the stage to accept his Lifetime Achievement Award and said a few nervous words.

um, im a hamster. hi
Black Eyed Peas won Best Pop VOCAL Album??? Vocal? What vocals? The BEPs hardly sing at all on the album; It’s all beats! They won over Kelly Clarkson and Pink???!!! (Two performers who actually sing and sing very well on their albums!) The world has gone absolutely stark raving mad!!! This is ridiculous.
Pink wins nothing, who are the the judges, they should hand their heads in shame
