Well, the Grammys came and went real fast. But while it lasted, music royalty came out all glisted and glamoured from head to toe. From Rap to
Rock, Metal to Country, and Classical to Pop the starts shined their way down the red carpet. And of course E! was there to capture it all. I watched the E! live on the red carpet special super doper 50th anniversary extravaganza with Ryan Seacrest (lol, they always have long and grand names) and some other chick. All the ladies looked so stylish (especially Beyonce). They guys wore the same old Armani suits but The Foo fighters looked terrible in there torn shirts and jeans…oh and Soulja Boy looked a hot mess in his ghetto gear.2 repetitive hours of the same dumbass questions later…
The red carpet wrapped up and everyone geared up for the GRAMMYS!!!!!!!! Alicia Keys gave a very lackluster opening speech…blah blah blah...Carrie Underwood did a great job with her hit song “Before He Cheats” and Rihanna and some old ass band did a very colorful duet/ medley thing…blah blah blah…more tribute stuff and old washed up starts presenting…Kanye West did a soul-stirring tribute to his mother the late Donda West. After, he won an award for…something, I forget…and gave a long(long because the Grammy people played the “hurry up and finish” music on him) but I don’t remember what it was about because I was playing on the computer…Alas, we go to a commercial break and return with Cher in some exotic and expensive looking get up. She does a nice little introduction for Tina Turner and Beyonce.
LADIES & GENTLEMEN THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR FOR WEEKS
Beyonce starts off sitting in a chair, the beat of “Déjà vu” thumping away in the background, she says, “Sarah Vaughn, Aretha Franklin, C
haka Khan. She goes on to do an interpretive dance of sorts as she describe how so many African-American women have paved the way for her to thrive in the music business. Here’s exactly what she said:"Historical women who have performed on this very stage. When I was a little girl, I dreamed of being on this stage. But I knew I need all the right elements.
Like the beat of Donna Summers.
The spirit of Mahalia Jackson.
The jazz of Ella [Fitzgerald] or Nancy [Wilson].
(band, gimme some! ("jazzy" bit of "Deja Vu" plays)
Lena Horne, Anita Baker, Diana Ross. Gladys [Knight], Janet [Jackson],
and the beautiful melodies of Whitney [Houston].The legacy they have bestowed are simply irreplaceable (to the left, to theft) {she really did say that} But there is one legend who has the essence of all these things; the glamor, the soul, the passion, the strength, the talent!
Ladies and Gentlemen stand on your feet and give it up for the QUEEN!!!"
Tina comes down the stairs as the music to “What’s Love Got to do With It” plays. She gets to the mic and smiles as if to say (Yes, thank you. I am great aren’t I…FUCK YOU IKE!!!) lol she then goes on to sing a song that I don’t know. After those two song s, she tells the audience that she would like to, “bring out the lovely Beyonce”. Beyonce sashays down the stairs in a very va va va voom sparkly dress. They do some of the classic sexy Tina Turner talk as they get ready to sing, “Proud Mary”. Beyonce and Tina let their hips rock from side-to-side as one arms sways to the rhythm and 
the other stays on their hip.
They each take turns singing a line from the song and then break out into the classic up tempo dance break. Beyonce and Tina looked flawless as they, “popped, locked, and dropped it”. They were, “rollin’ on the river” until the last second. At the end Tina gives a kick and Beyonce plays an air guitar. Next, they walk off stage holding each other’s shoulders and laughing.
WOW! Yet another unforgettable and spellbinding performance, this definitely is one for the history books!
The Grammys continue on but I start flipping channels and eating more than my fair share of cookies.
