2025 Grammys

I thought her, Charli XCX and Doechii especially were the three acts that made an impression. Everything else was kind of sleepy.

Benson Boone was excellent, too, but Doechii stole the show.

Really, almost all the artists who were nominated for Best New Artist put on great performances (except the sleepy band with the weird name that played a song with like two chords … they were awful). The show went downhill after the newcomers were done performing.

The question is, will Kendrick play that song
at halftime? Man, it is vicious and I'm here for it.

1,000,000% he plays it in some form. Outside of the frivolous lawsuits he's gotten from Drake, there's been no industry pushback on him essentially napalming Drake. The fact that he swept the categories he was in suggests there's plenty of people glad to see it happen.

The bit with Heidi Klum and Nikki Glazer was fun! But man, I do not care for that song.

Kendrick is now my last bridge to youth culture unless Gen Z randomly gets into 2008 indie rock.

 

[Songbird]

Someone with Kanye showed up naked.

I saw it long enough to catch the woman with the dunce cap thing win something. Never heard of her but I thought her speech going after record companies for not supporting upcoming artists with health care etc. was a good one, rarely do artists bite the hand that feeds unless they are so big the record company works for them.

As for some of the performances.

Damn Sabrina Carpenter and that catchy ass little song of hers, but I loved her fully going with silly comedic bits in her performance.

She had great comedic timing when she was a kid in "Girl Meets World." (So sue me. I'm a TGIF kid, so it was a guilty pleasure to watch the Boy reboot.)

On a different note, the likes of three-time winners Pink, the Roots, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and James Brown are now looking up to the newest member of the four-time winner club.

Jimmy Carter.

"The woman in the dunce cap" is Chappell Roan, who has made my Missouri hometown very, very proud over the last year. She stands up tall for the things she believes, and writes some damn good pop songs too.

That's good to hear, as I said I have never heard of her and that would go for many of the artists on last night. (I was waiting for the Quincy Jones tribute.) I admire her stance in using that platform the way she did.

 

[UNCGrad]

I liked Chappell's speech, too, and commend her for it. I think she has a lot of staying power going forward, but the thought did cross my mind: "Congrats on your first Grammy. It may now also be your last."

 

[Flip Wilson]

Why was Lainey Wilson singing a Ray Charles song in that tribute to Quincy? She's talented and all, but that was not the place to get her on the stage.

She has SNL host and musical guest all but locked up in like two years
