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.
