The 53rd Grammy Awards was just aired this morning on tv and I was anticipating for it. I woke up just in time to catch it on Star World. It's disappointing that they didn't air the red carpet but the important thing is they aired the main show on time.

The show started with five ladies in music with big pipes, Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Florence Welsch, Martina McBride and Yolanda Adams. There performance was a tribute to Aretha Franklin who is said to be healing from a major disease. The performance did not dissapoint. After the lyric flub during the superbowl, Xtina redeemed herself with an excellent rendition of "Ain't NO Way". The other ladies performed well too. The rest of the show went good. A lot of good performances from Muse,Mick Jagger,Lady Antebellum,Miranda Lambert,Arcade Fire and surprisingly, Katy Perry. Though I would have preferred if some performers didn't perform at all.

But the good thing about the show this year is that I like most of the winners. Lady Antebellum almost sweeped their awards but their celebration was spoiled by Arcade Fire who surprised everybody and went home with the last award, Album of the Year which was won by Taylor Swift last year. Eminem had one of the biggest disappointments as he only got 2 out of 10 awards. Another major loser was Katy Perry who went home without any Grammys. Perhaps the biggest upset was a relatively unknown Esperanza Spalding winning it out against crowd favorite Justin Bieber, which made his fans angry to sabotage her wikipedia page.

Overall, the show did not really disappoint except for some nominations and I'm hoping that Taylor will be able to replicate her Grammy success next year with Speak Now.
