My Post GRAMMY Wrap Up

The 50th Annual Grammy Awards have come and gone and all I can say is...THANK GOD! From the Red Carpet to the Closing Credits, it was once again a non-stop hot mess with small doses of hotness thrown in by accident. It could easily take me from now til the next show to write everything that was wrong but I've got a life so instead, I'll just hit the high and lowlights.

Red Carpet Highlights:

Jay Z
Ne-Yo
Ludacris
Rihanna
Nelly Furtado
Faith Hill - Boring but age appropriate.

Red Carpet Lowlights:

While there were a few fashion missteps which I've listed below, without a doubt, the winners of the 2008 Hot Mess Award goes to Nas & Kelis; Hip Hop's Phoniest Hoodrats. Wasting tons of money on over-priced, cheap jewelry and designer clothes while pretending to make some social commentary on racism in America but really promoting Nas' next flop CD, "Nigger". Nigga pleez!!

Chris Brown - Brotha, you've made a couple dollars. Stop trying to sew your own garments and hire a stylist.



Akon - No fur coats on men! Especially when it's 80 damned degress fool.



Chris Daughtry - No pleather! Especially when it's 80 damned degrees. What if that would've melted on the red carpet? Then again, at least they'd have a new wardrobe malfuction to talk about.



Beyonce - Once again, she had on a "hey look at me" ensemble and once again, she looked like a damned fool. Either Tina Knowles has really bad taste or she hates her daughter's guts. CONDEMN THE HOUSE OF DEREON!



Jill Scott - Jill, I love you but once you you're larger than a Size 11, you must stick to matte finishes. This is not to say that a full figured gal can't shut the red carpet down because she can. But please, please, please, No Shiny Outfits. You looked like a satellite dish.



Corinne Bailey Rae - Mama, those shoes look like you got them on sale from Baker's. Jimmy Choo, Manolo Blahnik, Cesare Paciotti, not BOGO by Payless.

Show Highlights:

Tina Turner still doing the damn thing at the age of 107.

Show Lowlights:

Everything else but especially Alicia Keys screaming "No One" at me. Why does everybody else sound better singing that song than her? When Stevie Wonder introduced her, he sang a line from the song and shut her down before she even got on stage.



Honorable mention goes to the Gospel Extravaganza. Please make Aretha Franklin stop. I thought she was the Queen of Soul as well as the Queen of the Pig People but now, she's taking on the rest of the barnyard. Bebe Winan's cow print jacket was worn in honor of being on stage with the First Lady of Utters.
