post-grammy hangover

mariahgrammy.jpgaah, the morning after. things are never quite so pretty. here’s why:

* mariah carey and kanye west both won 3 awards, but poor mariah’s only screen time was her performance. her awards were given out beforehand, while kanye’s award for best rap album was announced during the broadcast. hmmm… i wonder if that was intentional??

* as i lamented last night, u2’s last album was just more of the same! but how could i forget that grammy voters thrive on the familiar? why was i surprised when they took home album and song of the year? mariah’s meager penance was when bono pretended to be the pope, proclaiming, “you sing like an angel.”

* no matter what happens, this show is always so anticlimactic. why do we get so worked up about this shit? i’ll tell you the truth - i fell asleep before the end. zzzz….
