A Night at the 2009 Grammy Awards

The 51st Annual Grammy Awards did not disappoint me tonight.

First, can we please talk about this whole Chris Brown and Rihanna debacle. Okay, according to E! Online, Chris Brown and Rihanna were scheduled to perform tonight. But a cancellation was made after a report came in claiming that Chris Brown had gotten into a physical altercation with his "female companion". He was arrested around 6pm and is being brought in for investigation. Wow, I never saw that coming.

Next, what I loved was the Radiohead performance (minus Colin, Phil and Ed). Backed by the USC Marching Band, known as The Spirit of Troy, Thom Yorke and guitarist Jonny Greenwood performed "15 Step". Thom was jerking back and forth on stage while the band carried on behind him and it was pretty amazing.

I recently got the chance to listen to some of Thom's solo work off his debut album, The Eraser, and was blown away. Now, I know, this album was released in 2006 but I was bored while Radiohead was taking a break off of their current album. Radiohead will be on tour for 2009.

And lastly, I wouldn't forget, did you see M.I.A. perform?! Her performance was outstanding considering her baby was due tonight. She still went out on stage and rocked it, even with a baby literally due at any moment.
