what has become of music.

the grammy's just finished and i sit here more confused than i have ever been in my life. why? because amy winehouse just took home the record of the year award. however, that wasn't as appalling as her performance and speech were. for those of you who did not watch the event, amy performed via satellite. why? because this woman was not allowed in the US. this comes at no surprise considering that she is currently undergoing rehab for her current condition back home in London.

but i sat there and could not help but laugh at the idea that she took the chance to sing her infamous single "rehab". if you don't know what this song is about, it's about her NOT going to rehab. the obvious irony. but what made this so amusing was that amy winehouse is perhaps the single worst performer in history with consideration to location and or types. so this includes everyone from black face, to the man playing the keyboard in 42nd street. she is the worst.

amy's facial expressions were beyond unbelievable. as a matter of fact, they seemed to be nothing short of facial seizures and spasms. afterward, when her performance was done, it took her at least 6.4 seconds to go from a face spasm to utter the words "thank you" in a reluctant and probably, inebriated tone. i literally sat on the edge of my seat expecting vomit to cut her off in the middle of her sentence.

what followed this was the nominations for record of the year. and as the camera is cutting to the nominees, it cuts to amy a bit earlier while justin timberlake is being nominated and we catch a glimpse of amy talking to herself in front of the audience in the venue where she was performing in the London. sure, we all talk to ourselves now and then. but for those who do it in public, its a bit different. i was convinced that woman is the devil. there was so much angst and anger in her expression as she mumbled inaudible words to herself on stage.

amy continues and is unable to process the fact that she has actually won, and undergoes another face spasm. another 7 seconds go by and amy hugs her backup singers and her mother, who runs up on stage. finally she gets to the mic. now most artists thank jesus, mom, dad, their managers and so forth while accepting their awards. amy however continues to make me laugh harder than i ever have in my life by thanking an incarcerated friend.

yes. never have i laughed so hard at what a disgrace this woman is to all female artists. this award could have served better as the scrap material used to make it.
lets hope the US can keep her out. because quite honestly i would hate to be caught laughing at amy's facial disability.
