I didn’t catch the Grammy Awards last night because I was taking a nap. I wouldn’t have watched it even if I had been awake though cause it’s usually just a bunch of crap: performers parading around as scantily clad as national tv networks will allow them while lip-singing to their bubble gum pop songs and a bunch of lame acceptance speeches laced with name dropping and props to God (even those rappers with songs about ho’s and bitches thank God, as if He would have something to do with the creation or success of such a song.)
I just read on the front page of nytimes.com that Norah Jones walked away with 8 Grammys after last night’s show. That’s pretty stinking cool. I’ve really enjoyed her music a lot ever since I first downloaded it a little less than a year ago. I got her first national release this Christmas and it was just as good as the live tracks that I had been floating around the net for awhile. She has a beautiful voice which goes well with her jazz/pop piano playing. I’d recommend giving her a listen.
I haven’t yet decided if she is more beautiful than talented or more talented than beautiful. She can Come Away With Me any day.
