The Grammys

I taped the Grammy Awards on Sunday, and watched them yesterday and today. After watching a particularly boring Grammy a few years ago, and on finding out that they gave the Song of the Year Award to "My Humps" last year (who would do that? Who in their right mind would award that song??), I haven't been to thrilled with the Grammys.

I must say, though, that this years show was very good. I guess that since it's their 50th show, they had a lot of performances of older songs, and a lot of older performers singing, which was a lot of fun. Tina Turner and Beyonce performed "Proud Mary", which might have been my favorite part of the whole thing, and Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richy preformed, which was also fun. No Police, but since they performed last year, that's not surprising.

Amy Winehouse won a lot, which surprised me. I hadn't expected her to win much. Rihanna got an award (her acceptance speech was adorable), which made me happy, and Paramore didn't, which made me sad.

I actually enjoyed Alicia Keys performance of "No One", which is surprising, since I hate the song. I think it works better as a performance, when you can watch her sing.

I did not enjoy Brad Paisleys performance. I thought it was boring and skipped it.

Andrea Bocelli and Josh Grobans performance was gorgeous. Their voices sound wonderful together.


Although they didn't show it, Maroon 5 won Best Pop Performance by a group for their song "Makes Me Wonder", one of my favorite songs that came out last year, and Ne-yo also won for his new album. This makes me extremely pleased. The Foo Fighters also won a few awards, which made me happy.

So now I can't wait for next years show, which is unusual.

Favorite Harry Potter videos

There is no song of the week this week because I can't think of one. So instead I'm going to post my favorite Harry Potter videos, because I feel like it.

This one is one of the first ones I found, and it goes along with the words really well.

Snape: I'm too Sexy



This one is about the attractive, evil men of Slytherin.

Extra Smooth Slytherin


This one's just for fun.

Professional Pirate


This one's just sweet, and has one of my favorite couples set to one of my favorite songs.

Every Little Thing She Does is Magic



I heard this song recently, and it was a candidate for Song of the Week. However, the music video was to off color, so I found this instead. Unfortunately, it doesn't use all of the song.

Cold Hearted Snape



This one's just cute, although not very accurate. Hermione's much nicer than this.

She Bangs



I just found this one this morning. This song is one of my favorites at the moment (it's by Depeche Mode, surprise, surprise), and this video goes along with it perfectly.

People are People

Song of the Week #20, and The Argument Clinic

Since I started listening to the radio a year and a half ago, I've steadily been liking hip-hop more and more. I'll never like it as much as rock and broadway musicals, but there are some artists and songs that I really like. This was the first hip-hop song I really liked.
It is a hip-hop video, so there's a lot of slightly suggestive dancing, but nothing really off color.

Crazy in Love - Beyonce



What I love about hip-hop videos is that you get completely random things in them, like exploding cars, fur coats, and giant wind tunnels (if you want more random music videos, look no further then Britney Spears Toxic video, which is also very random).


And now for my favorite Monty Python sketch. It's not as well known as the Spam sketch, or the Spanish Inquisition sketch, but I like it more.

Argument Clinic



And here's a version of it set to Kingdom Hearts. You don't need to watch the whole thing, but you should watch the area around 3:22
