2008 Grammy Awards: Music and Fashion Review

This year's Grammy Awards was accompanied by the most musical performances I have ever seen! There was an array of music genres so most likely everyone who watched liked at least one of the performances.

Kanye West had a touching and eye-catching performance. He performed a song in the dark with neon and glowing clothes and glasses and the disk jockeys were also wearing neon bodysuits. The best part was when the violins were glowing but you couldn't see the people playing them. After that the lights came on and he sang about his late mom. The audience was touched and a lot of people were crying. He even had "mama" buzzed into his hair!

Carrie Underwood had a wonderful performance singing "Before He Cheats". Her singing was phenomenal.

These are just a couple of the great performances of the night.

Some of the hairstyles at the Grammy's were just atrocious. Most of the dresses that were worn by the stars were beautiful but there were some that I can't figure out why anyone would wear, especially on national television. Some of them will probably be in the "Worst-dressed celebrities" section of magazines for a long time to come.

There was a nice tribute to the Beatles that they incorporated some cirque de soleil-type performances into.

The best speech I heard was Kanye Wests' speech when he won the award for Best Rap Album. He was trying to give his speech and they were trying to cut him off with the background music. He was upset and said something about them cutting him off. When he was talking about his late mom, he really got upset and said that would be a good time to cut the music. And they did. It was great. I am proud of him for speaking his mind and finishing his speech.
All in all, the Grammy Awards was a fun event to watch on TV, and I'm sure it was even more fun to be there!
