As far as I’m concerned, most award shows are about hype, especially the Grammys. There was nothing truly inspired by this year’s awards. Yes, Amy Winehouse has a phenomenal voice and Back to Black was her breakout alb
um, but her first one was better. True enough The Pretender by Foo Fighters was in constant rotation, but it was by no means the best rock performance of the year. And someone please explain how Alicia Keys won Best Female R&B Vocal Performance for “No One”? C’mon people, seriously!
Since I really have nothing good to say about the Grammys, I invite you to have a good laugh with the Listen In writers at Newsvine and their first annual Blammy Awards:
“Roll out the red carpet! The Grammys are a farce, so we at Listen In have decided to host our very own music awards show. We'll laugh… we'll cry… we'll take aim at some of the more vulnerable targets available. We'll even hand out a few awards. We're calling it the Blammys.”
