The Grammys were on tonight.

Here's some flashbacks to great Grammy performances. How many do you remember? The Grammys tend to be a bit boring, but the performances tend to be very good. The stars are performing for their peers so they generally bring it at all! There'll be more of these during the week.
Enjoy
Stevie Wonder
Tina Turner
Eurythmics
Janet Jackson

If you read this blog then you know I can be a bit of a pop music head and one of my favorites last year is Katy Perry. Basically she has some great pop tunes and she is living proof that I dont take myself too seriously. I love a well written, passionately performed slightly cheesy pop tune any day. So here's some live footage of Katy doing her thing. Katy is nominated for Best Pop Female vocal performance for "I Kissed a Girl"
Here's a couple of performances of hits from her CD.
I Kissed A Girl
Hot N Cold
Over the next couple of weeks I intend to spot light Grammy nominees in a number of categories and genres. This is the third of those spotlight posts.
Another in the group of 5 Best New Artist nominees, this is the 2nd nominee from across the pond. Her name is Adele. You no doubt heard her hit Chasing Pavement booming thru radios across the country as it was a major hit and a great song. She is talented, has a great voice and isn't a size 6 which is sexy. I'm giving props to normal sized women because they are sexy too.
As you know the record companies don't allow embedding of youtube videos, so check out these live performance clips.
Ladies and gentlemen Adele.

21 years old with the pipes of a 40 year old, a talented writer and good live performer that's our next Best New Artist Nominee Jazmine Sullivan. She's another one of those artists I got into early and it is so good to see have so much success. This young woman has really worked for it and deserves it all.
Ladies and gentlemen Jazmine Sullivan.
