…Jeff Lynne of ELO fame impressed at the Grammy’s last night, even causing his pal Paul McCartney to get up and sing along, dancing in the isle. On social media, several people suggested that a camera man may have told Paul to sit down so they could get a better shot of the audience, to which Paul certainly obliges. Many began criticizing the cameraman or producer for doing that, but I don’t see what the issue was. Just because it’s Paul doesn’t mean they should have just waited for him to sit down. AC/DC apparently needed a teleprompter to make sure they didn’t forget the lyrics to a new song, Rock Or Bust, they performed. Of course they still sounded damn good. But the surprise of the night for some was Annie Lennox. She wowed the crowd at The Grammy’s with “Take Me to Church” and “I Put a Spell On You”. The air harmonica was a little strange, but she brought the crowd to their feet, absolutely amazed at her voice and performance! She still has it.
Not to be out done, Kanye West embarrassed himself at last night’s Grammy Awards. As Beck took the stage to receive his award for Best Album, West crashed the stage as though he were going to take the mic, as he did with Taylor Swift years ago at another awards show! But it was all laughs, even Beck playing along. But later, West showed that he really was upset, telling E!,
"I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists, to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more," he said, upset that Beck beat Beyonce in the category. "And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyonce."
West also pouted with a rant about being disrespected by The Grammys. "Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration," said West. "And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyonce album and they feel like it takes them to another place."
How many other artists didn’t get the Grammy trophy they had hoped for, but they took it in stride, not acting like a spoiled child. West has proven that he is a talented entertainer and has a big following. This attitude problem he has is embarassing~
