Last night's Grammy festivities seemed even longer than usual. There were
so many random performances that involved two or more artists colliding in ways that no one ever asked for. I sat through
Robin Thicke and
Chicago performing a medley of songs ending with "
Blurred Lines" because sometimes life isn't fair, but that's a post for another day. Even though
Daft Punk won Album Of The Year, the real winners were Queen Bee and Queen B.
Lorde performed a strange slowed down version of "
Royals" and won two major awards, Pop Solo Performance and Song Of The Year. She looked especially hipster goth chic, but sported a slightly more tame mass of hair compared to her usual mane. I think it's safe to say that
Lorde's reign won't let up anytime soon and she deserves the recognition so much.
But let's just talk about
Beyoncé and
Jay-Z opening the show with "
Drunk In Love". She did that weird music video dance. She had the wet beach hair. She even added more
surfborts to the song! From the lighting to the camera direction, the production was fantastic. The only flaw was some lazy censorship by CBS, which resulted in a few full lines being muted. This is how you perform at the Grammys.
