Damn…I wish I could have been at the Grammy Awards to see the full spectrum of colorful outfits, and the awesome light show that went on with their performance. Those Grammy goers get everything.
The collaboration that was clearly bombed the most was the duet of best friends Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Swift-as nasally as she sounded-out sang Cyrus by a million beats. Swift appeared to be glaring at Cyrus everytime that Cyrus opened up her mouth to sing, probably hoping her glares would make Cyrus disappear- just as we all hoped she would too.
Cyrus then made obnoxious faces near the end of the song as she was clearly off on every beat of the song that Swift wrote.
More awkward: These two teenage girls were singing about the troubles of a 15 year-old's life - a teenagers life more or less - when these two girls themselves were teenagers getting the opportunity to sing on one of the biggest stages in the world-you know, the real troubles of teenage girls.
Cyrus may take the cake for most awkward moments of the night as her awkwardness didn't come with the end of the terrible duet. Cyrus could be caught staring directly at the teleprompter over head as she recited her lines to the crowd and the television. How does she remember her lyrics?
As if that wasn't enough, when Swift went to say, "And the Grammy goes to…" Cyrus could be seen motioning to herself with her hand and whispering "Me." Sorry, Cyrus-you weren't even nominated. Then when Allison Krauss went to receive the trophy from Cyrus, Cyrus pulled back. Even more awkward.
The collaborations weren't the only things that went terribly awkward at the Grammy Awards.
Carrie Underwood's outfit during her performance of "Last Name," was the last thing any star should have worn with the lighting in there, as the bottom of the outfit became transparent. Even the audience didn't look thrilled.
Kid Rock singing about all the problems in the world while wearing what appeared to be a $10,000 suit. Here's to all those kids who are starving, woooo. And then he broke into his rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama" where he praised smoking funny things. Does anybody else see anything wrong with all of this?
