Grammy Family: LiveStyle Highlights From The 51st Annual Grammy Awards 2009.


Coldplay Wins "Best Rock Album" Of The Year



Coldplay Ft. Jay-Z - Lost (Acoustic)/Viva La Vida



T.I. Ft. Jay-Z, Kanye West, Lil Wayne x A Super Pregnant M.I.A. - Swagger Like Us



Lil Wayne Wins "Best Rap Album" Of The Year




CHRIS LIVE AKA SHAKER SAYS:  Not since Jazzy Jeff and The Fresh Prince were preposterously winning "Best Rap Album" Grammy Awards have I taken the Grammy's seriously.  In fact, I have never been much of a fan of award shows in general ... they've always seemed pretentiously over hyped, predictable and, therefore, anti-climactic to me.

One curious thing of note though is that, if I am going to watch anything even resembling an entertainment award ceremony a general rule of thumb is:  the more ig'nant and hastily put together, the better ... lol.  Like, basically, the clearly less reputable B.E.T. Awards stand a far better chance of getting my Nielsen rating than the Grammy Awards.  Also, even though I consider the Oscars to be a Hollywood cocksucing snooze-fest, I do try to watch the poppin' movies that get all of the nominations - "Gran Turino" and "The Wrestler" were both dope and, now, I'm waiting to get my DVD screener copy of "Slumdog Millionaire" back.

Anyway, more than merely housing the world's greatest public porn collection, the internet has also made it so people don't have to suffer through bullshit just to see the music videos, skits, T.V. shows and, in this case, 2009 Grammy Award performances that they really wanted to see in the 1st place.  Enjoy the highlights yall!
