Grammy Observations

I wasn't consistent in my viewing of the Grammys last night but here are my various observations:

• U2's opening number was uninteresting and missing a memorable chorus. I expected more from them.
  
• Katy Perry was awkward.
• Justin Timberlake had the biggest smile on his face while singing with Al Green. He truly looked happy to be there. Keith Urban had a little George Benson thing going on during the same song.
• Carrie Underwood's guitarist rocked. Her name is Orianthi. I read she just signed a deal with Geffen.
  
• MIA was about to drop her baby any second. I think it was her due date.
• Alison Krauss does not talk very much
• Jonas Brothers and Stevie Wonder, Huh?
• Coldplay's Viva La Vida won for song of the year. This award goes to the songwriters. Joe Satriani has claimed they stole his song If I Could Fly. Lawyers are talking.
• Charlie Hayden is Jack Black's father-in-law.
  
• The sound mix was sub par.
