You Call That A Tribute???





Somebody tell me...

WHAT IN THE SAM HILL WAS THE GRAMMYS DOING last night with that Michael Jackson tribute? Were they all the way serious with that bullshit? LOL Really???

First of all, Im not understanding why of all the songs this man wrote, sang, or otherwise made famous they would choose "Earth Song" to do as a tribute. Ok, I get it - Haiti's in turmoil, tsunamis and hurricanes all over the place, we need to reach out, blah, blah, blah. But I would have preferred "Man In The Mirror" if that's the case. Or "Heal The World". Who is responsible for this? I want a name dammit! LOL

Second of all, where the hell did they get that lineup from? Usher - okay. Smokey - eh..... I get it - okay. J-Hud, Carrie Underwood, Celine Deon - I'm sorry, what? LOL

Carrie Underwood, dude? Now dont get me wrong, I love Carrie Underwood, and I have to give her props - she put her foot in it - but who had the bright idea of including her in this tribute? What exactly about Michael Jackson would make somebody think Carrie Underwood? They missed me with that one. Celine too - LOVE her - but seriously? Was every other person who we, the people, would have imagined paying tribute on life support somewhere? ALL of em? LOL

And, again, I say EARTH SONG? LOL. #FAIL

Now see, the Grammys and CBS both need their asses kicked for this one. Nevermind the fact that all these people who went out and got 3D glasses to watch it pretty much MISSED the thing, everybody woulda been so much better off if they had listened to my suggestion. I wrote the network after MJ died, suggesting that they reassemble the surviving members of the We Are The World choir (which only one of them that I can think of - Ray Charles - is dead) and have them do it as a tribute, and I wrote them within a couple of weeks of his death to ensure that they had ample time to get it together. All I asked for in return was a ticket to see it live. But nooooooooooooooo. Them cheap bastards didnt wanna send me a ticket so they didnt use my idea LOL (this is what Im telling myself because nothing else makes any damn sense) and that is fine but at least come up with something better. As much as I HATED the BET tribute to Michael, THEIR shit was better than this was, and of course, with Janet doing her duet with his video image, the VMAs get the award for best tribute. When the VMAs get the award, dude, you need to rethink your purpose in life.

COME ON, SON! LOL

Suffice it to say that I was highly disappointed. All these months have gone by and thats all they came up with? *smh* You fuck up a tribute to the king of all that is musical and on top of it, I dont get any fuckery from Kanye to make it all better? LOL

FAIL, Grammys. FAIL.

  1. this blog is a fail. earth song is one of michael's best song. i think this was closest to his heart beacuse he really loved nature and the enviornment. they wanted to show what michael had prpared for his concerts. all the singers did a great job, i love the diversity.

  2. Well thank you, Sabrina, for your comment, however... 1)its Michael Jackson. To say Earth Song is one of his best songs is like saying "green" is one of the best M&Ms LOL 2) it's a tribute. If youre gonna choose ONE song, for a TRIBUTE, Earth Song? Really? I could see if there was a medley and that was part of it, but ONE song and that's the one they do? Come on now. This has been on everybody's lips today, so disagree as you may with my position, I am far from the only person who feels this way. In fact, you are the ONLY person I've heard say something good about anything BUT the vocals (which I already gave kudos for) but you know what? You are entitled to your opinion, so I digress :)
