Review: The 47th Grammy Awards
A Long Night: Aidin Vaziri | The first five minutes of the 47th Grammy Awards Sunday just may have been the worst five minutes in the history of mankind. Not just because they featured the Black Eyed Peas dressed like break-dancing scarecrows or Gwen Stefani and Eve slaughtering the "Fiddler on the Roof" song or Los Lonely Boys gnashing their teeth over playing "Heaven" for the 8,783rd time or Maroon 5 just being there. No, these five minutes stood out because they ended with all of the above collapsing together in a whirlwind of bad fashion and a nausea-inducing jam session. Let's get this party started? More like, let's kill ourselves. How Franz Ferdinand ended up in that mess is as big a mystery as Queen Latifah's red satin dress. By the end of a very long night, 107 awards were handed out at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, with the biggest handful -- eight -- going to the late Ray Charles. He was lucky to have missed the show.
