Grammy Awards 2011 - Part 2

Ieri am postat prima parte a impresiei mele despre premiile Grammy, dar aveam de gand sa fie doar un mare post. Insa problemele cu conexiunea la net m-au impiedicat.
Deci: am prezentat nominalizarile + castigatorii, poze de pe covorul rosu iar acum urmeaza interpretarile live. De data aceasta le voi prezenta pe toate cu o mica opinie despre acestea.
Ordinea este aleatorie, oarecum.
Un moment frumos, un tribut adresat legendarei Arethei Franklin, din partea Christinei Aguilera, Florence Welch(Florence and the Machine), Jennifer Hudson, Yolanda Adams, Martina McBride. Toate au demonstrat ca au voci uimitoare si ca sunt dive realizand o intepretare eleganta.

Au urmat B.o.B si Bruno Mars, alturi de Janelle, cei doi cantand cunoscuta lor piesa Nothin' on you. A fost frumos, amandoi au aratat eleganti si adevarati domni in costume, iar Janelle a indeplinit doar un rol de background singer.

Momentul enervantului Bieber si al sau mentor, Usher. Amandoi aroganti. Era mai bine cand Usher facea R&B adevarat si cand Justin statea acasa.

Rihanna si Drake cu a lor piesa What's my name? Rihanna - si-a imbunatatit calitatile vocale, cel putin pe aceasta piesa, insa se aude mai mult pozitivul ce ruleaza in fundal decat vocea ei. Drake - e ok, nu-mi displace, dar nici nu il ador. Miscarile ei nu-mi plac!

Rihanna din nou cu Love the way you lie(part 2) in duet cu Eminem. Vocea ei e tot nesigura pe notele inalte, dar apreciez ca s-a chinuit sa cante cat de cat ok. Eminem - inca bun. Li se mai alatura pe parcurs Dr. Dre. Momentul e ok.

Si acum piesa Fuck you, intepretata de Cee Lo Green si Gwyneth Paltrow. Decor frumos, ce se conformeaza oarecum cu ideea clipului, insa Cee Lo arata ca un bufon si vocea lui nu suna la fel de bine precum pe pozitiv. Dar Gwyneth... e superba! Voce - perfecta, tinuta - perfecta, si look - perfect. Un moment foarte tare. Cel mai bun de pana acum.

Iar acum dragutica Janelle Monae cu piesa Cold war, care desi pare de vreo 18 ani, are de fapt 25. Insa are o voce puternica si un stil frumos. Outfitul masculin i se potriveste.

Katy Perry a cantat balada Not like the movies, de pe albumul Teenage Dream, si single-ul cu acelasi nume. Se observa o evolutie in materie de interpretari live. Insa cel mai mult greseste la Firework, piesa care nu a fost cantata la Grammy. In rest show-ul a fost ok, o parte lenta si apoi una mai dinamica si mai fun. Dar, rochia e totusi putin prea scurta.

Trupa Lady Antebellum a cantat si ea un medley compus din piesele If you don't know me by now, American honey si Right now. Sunt ok cei trei cantareti, insa genul abordat de ei nu ma prinde.

 Pentru prima interpretare live a piesei Born this way, Lady Gaga a facut o treaba buna. intro-ul creepy in care iese din ou, dansul si orga + sfarsitul piesei sunt punctele forte. Nu e cel mai bun show al ei, dar este oricum peste medie.

Cam atat am avut de spus si prezentat. Cei care au mai cantat au fost Muse(cu Uprising), Miranda Lambert(The house that built me), Mumford & Sons The Avett Brothers Bob Dylan(The Cave Head Full of Doubt Maggie's Farm), Norah Jones John Mayer Keith Urban(Jolene), Barbra Streisan(Evergreen), Mick Jagger Raphael Saadiq(Everybody needs somedbody to love), Arcade Fire(Month of may, Ready to start).

Editia din anul acesta(adica a 53-a din istoria premiilor) Grammy a fost plina de nume mari, artisti debutanti si per total a fost ok. Nu a fost la fel de spectaculoasa ca cea de anul trecut, cand Lady Gaga si Elton John au deschis cu o interpretare pur si simplu spectaculoasa. Dar na, nici editia asta nu e de lepadat.
Maine am sa revin cu pareri si opinii despre BRIT Awards(Premiile Muzicale Britanice). Va salut!

Am omis categoriile Country si Latin.

Dance Recording: Only Girl (in the World), Rihanna -> daca pana acum castigatorii au fost alesi cat de cat bine, aici cred ca s-a ales pe pile... Dance in the dark, DANCING ON MY OWN, In for the kill, Rocket - toate piese foarte bune. O piesa dance stupida. Macar celelalte au ceva versuri si au ceva special
Electronic/Dance Album: La Roux, La Roux

Short Form Music Video: “Bad Romance,” Lady Gaga
Long Form Music Video: “When You’re Strange,” The Doors

S-a ales cat de cat bine la categoriile de muzica la care sunt cunoscator de cate ceva. Ceea ce m-a enervat rau a fost castigatorul de la Dance Recording, cum am spus si mai sus.

Continui cu pozele de pe covorul rosu. Voi posta si comenta doar ceea ce m-a impresionat sau mi-a displacut mult.
In prima categorie intra - Kelly Osbourne, care a purtat o rochita frumoasa, in care a aratat foarte ok.

- Florence ce a purtat o rochie interesanta ce i se potriveste

 - nu putea lipsi Gaga care a aparut pe "the red carpet" intr-un ou!

-  si ultima care vreau sa v-o prezint special e Eva Longoria, una dintre actritele mele preferate. A purtat o rochita frumoasa alaturi de un top sau ce o fi ala negru, in contrast. Foarte frumos!

Acum vreau sa va prezint cateva vedete imbracate gresit.
- Rihanna pur si simplu nu e frumoasa in viziunea mea, si rochia pe care a purtat-o mi s-a parut foarte nepotrivita

- Bieber care crede ca acei bascheti merg la costum, care si ala e prea larg. Cu mici modificari putea iesi ceva  demn de covorul rosu

 - Jordin Sparks care a purtat o rochie ce parca scotea tot aerul din ea. Imi pare rau de asta, chiar putea alege o rochie draguta cu un corset mai lejer si arata superb

 

Termin aici si  voi reveni cu o a doua parte ce va cuprinde interpretari live si niste concluzii.
