During an Extreme Makeover Home Edition commercial break, I flipped on The Grammys for a second. Why? Why did I do this? No idea. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised when Tina Turner was introduced, who came out looking fly in a sexy astronaut costume. After blowing through a medley of "What's Love Got To Do With It" and "Better Be Good To Me," I thought to myself, "Ok, 'Proud Mary' must be up next." I was right, but was suddenly shoved back into Grammy hell when Tina announced that Beyonce would be coming out to sing with her. Arrrrgh. Look, I really have nothing against Beyonce, but to say she's overexposed is a bit of an understatement. It's to the point where I'm worried that the next time I go to the dentist, he's gonna say, "You have a cavity. And now, to help me fill that tooth...here's Beyonce!" I guess you could say that I am officially Beyonced out.
A little while later, I flipped it on again (why??) and they were introducing presenter Keely Smith, who was one half of the first winner for Best Vocal Performance by Duo or Group ("That Old Black Magic" with Louis Prima). I thought, "Oh, this is nice. All of the twentysomethings in the audience probably all got up to go to the bathroom, but what do they know?" So, how did the producers reward Keely for showing up? They forced her to duet with Kid Rock! Arrrrrgh.
I guess the message that the Grammys are sending is, "Old people suck."

Comments
I was shocked that Keely is still alive and mostly coherent but yeah, Kid Rock?
Vince Gill's comment to Kanye was fairly funny too. If you missed it, Kanye had been up there earlier singing his own praises (shocker!) and then Ringo gave Vince an award and he said this.
Dale - She'll sing, "You must not floss your teeth, you must not floss your teeth." (But I do.)
I did happen to catch Vince Gill and I laughed my ass off. Kanye tried not to look pissed that a pudgy, country white boy just stuck it to him. I stuck around for that category because I was hoping to see Dierks Bentley, but alas, no sign of him.
CDP - Thankfully, I missed that.
WP - I'm totally serious.
Poor Keely Smith, I hope she didn't catch anything. Louis Prima is not only rolling over, he's clawing through the dirt to get out of his grave and kick some slimeball ass.
Vince Gill is now my hero, ha.ha.ha.
That idiot gasbag Kanye deserved worse.
(shuddering like a caffienated chihuahua)
Ugh...now THAT makes me shudder.
