OMG KANYE WEST VERSUS RAY CHARLES
NSFW due to harsh language and being awful! Which is why you must look at it!
THATS OLD SCHOOL!
DAMMIT! Yer telling me that I missed Paul McCartney singing not one but 2 songs!?!?!? WAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Was he beautiful like always?
Yes, he sang “Fine Line” from Chaos and Creation and a really ripping version of “Helter Skelter”. He laid it all out there on Helter Skelter… Tasha was amazed by how fast his hands were working that classic Hofner violin bass of his.
His music, as always, was awesome. He’s looking a little more old these days… he seemed to have a hard time getting his breath at the beginning of Fine Line, but he said something about being nervous because this was his first Grammy performance ever.
I really do have to see him before he dies. I would be pretty sad if I didn’t get to.
Honestly, you couldn’t even mention how hot Madonna was? Geez…
For being a woman in her mid-50′s, she’s still pretty hot. I hope that she doesn’t end up looking like a wraith like Cher does now. She’d better carefully monitor her intake of plastic surgery.
We were talking at work today about how she must have a pretty good surgeon, as she looked so young that Tasha and I weren’t sure if it was actually her or not. Good for her!
Yeah…he’s looking old…I think that’s because his hair’s too long. When I saw him his hair was buzzed-ish.
Seriously, next time he comes around use your computer magic and get tickets for you and Tasha!! Even if they’re $100 each, he’s worth it!
