Did you see Pink's performance?
I had to look away. All the spinning was giving me motion sickness.
From MTV:
Sauntering slowly onstage through a haze of electric-blue screens, Pink wore a silky white robe that covered her head to toe, save for a plunging neckline that revealed a lot of skin. Singing "Glitter in the Air" from her Funhouse album, she made her way down the stage stairs and into the aisle.
Once there, Pink dropped the robe to reveal a sort-of sheer bodysuit that was essentially just a series of white straps covering strategic areas while leaving almost nothing to the imagination. As she had at the VMAs, Pink brought her circus act to the Grammys. With dancers twisting above her, Pink climbed into a white sheet and was lifted into the air. High above the stage, she spun in circles and continued to sing.
As the song built up, water began to pour from above, soaking Pink as she kept twirling and held herself in place with nothing but a well-flexed leg. The song wrapped up with Pink spinning upside down and spraying water in all directions.

I think Pink should join Cirque du Soleil.
The music business is dead, dead dead.
ReplyDeletePink isn't talented enough to join Cirque du Soleil.
The Grammy broadcast was a joke. They hand out something like 101 awards and we saw, what six or seven presented in three hours?
The entire thing, with the exception of Jeff Beck's performance was pitiful, just pitiful.
Frank Zappa warned us about this crap.
It's unfortunate that the Grammys don't use the telecast as an opportunity to showcase artists and musical genres not typically seen by a wider audience.
ReplyDeleteIt's all about ratings and playing to the lowest common denominator.
Pink's performance was pretty cool.
ReplyDeleteAnd Lady Gaga and Elton was a great match.
