Let’s over-analyze this year’s ceremony.
On Sunday, it was the Grammys' turn to attempt the improbable.
But, surprise they managed to pull off one hell of a ceremony, sans audience and roof.
Megan Thee Stallion and Beyoncé winning Best Rap Song at the 2021 Grammys.
At least, that’s my sky-high take on the proceedings.
Leah, what were you feeling (or not feeling) about this year’s show?
(She may not do advanced choreo, but the girl can body roll.)
The mix of celebrity presenters (Ringo!
All the o-o’s!)
(Special shout out to the Apollo’s Billy Mitchell, a sunbeam in human form.)
I did not love that almost no one seemed to be singing live.
Alex, did you have a best and worst performance?
Speaking of cameos, I could have done withoutJohn MayerduringMaren Morris' otherwise terrific “The Bones.”
(Give “August” the full song treatment it deserves!)
Speaking of Swift, this was the year of Tay’s Grammy comeback, withFolklorewinning Album of the Year.
But I agree that certain prizes tonight had the whiff of historical corrections.
Does it feel good thatBeyonceis now the winning-est woman of all time?
Did anyone need a Best Rap Album win for Nas for the undercookedKing’s Disease in 2021?
And why wasn’t the latter televised when Best Pop Vocal album was?
What do you think, Leah?
And hey next time,somebody sit with Chris Martin.
