Posted In Lady GaGa on February 1st, 2010
Let’s get one thing straight about last night’s Grammy Awards: Lady Gaga was ROBBED. Taylor Swift may be cute in an aww-shucks kind of way, and she might have some passable ripped-from-my-teenaged-diary type of songs, but no one has done more to make popular music interesting (and FUN) again in the last year than Ms. Gaga. Where’s Kanye West when we need him?
I don’t begrudge the teenager her Grammys, but just like Avatar shouldn’t have won Best Picture at the Golden Globes, I think that the people that voted could have made a better decision. What Gaga will always win, however, is the red carpet – despite not capturing the major awards for which she was nominated, pictures of her wearing this fantastic Giorgio Armani creation, made just for her, have been the lead in every article that I’ve read today about the ceremony. Ultimately, in a business like show business, the awards don’t mean much – all that matters is who is being talked about the next day. With a gravity-defying dress, the two-tone hair of a comic book superhero, and the fiercest eye makeup that I’ve ever seen on her, Gaga has absolutely captured that prize.
So go ahead, flame me for being mean to Taylor Swift. I’m on Team Gaga.
