i’m pleased that kelly clarkson took home the first award of the night, in the category of best pop vocal performance, female. she was up against mariah, gwen, and grammy voter faves sheryl crow and bonnie raitt. i was only slightly surprised by this win, actually, because everyone loves “since u been gone.”
other than that, the broadcast opened with an entertaining opening number. mashing up madonna’s “hung up” and gorillaz’ “feel good inc.” was a good move, and maddy’s performance was especially well executed. sorry, mariah, but the show’s producers were smart to meet madonna’s demands!
the show’s biggest revelation thus far - nicole kidman came with keith urban! the camera keeps cutting to them whenever it gets a chance…. just good friends, eh!?
UPDATE: kelly clarkson just gave a flawless performance of “because of you.” all i have to say is, damn! and now u2 just won another award - this one for best rock album. i hate to diss bono and company (sorry dad!), but i think they’re getting sort of tedious. surprise me, boys, and you might just win back some respect.
also… where the hell is ellen? so far i’ve seen her once in the past hour. isn’t she supposed to be hosting?
