The Grammy Awards 2011 Winners and Losers

The Grammys were very interesting this year. Many strange outfits and unexpected winners. One of the shock winners this year definitely has to be Jazz singer Esperanza Spalding winning the Best New Artist Award. She had lots of competition with the likes of Justin Bieber and Florence & The Machine. After Esperanza won the award all the crazy Bieber fans started tweeting terrible things about her on twitter and they also tampered with her Wikipedia page. I think the Justin Bieber fans should just grow up, wait aren't they all little tween girls, so yeah that explains everything. Personally I would have liked to see Florence & The Machine win. Florence Welch is such an awesome singer. She's not just someone that sounds good recorded she can sing live. One of the other big winners on the night was Lady Gaga who went home with three Grammys.

I was so happy that Train won their Grammy for Hey, Soul Sister for Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals.

Muse went home with their Grammy for Best Rock Album for The Resistance which made my bf very happy.

This has to be the biggest upset of the night with Arcade Fire winning Album Of The Year for The Suburbs. I like many other people thought Lady Gaga would win for The Fame Monster. Anyways this was my coverage of The Grammys and I will be posting later on the fashion. There were some hideous outfits but this is The Grammys afterall so it's not that unexpected.

The Grammy Awards are just a couple of days away and I've been checking out the nominees for one of the big awards, Album Of The Year. This is really a tough category. With the big contenders definitely being Eminem, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga. I wouldn't rule out Arcade Fire or Lady Antebellum though. Lady Antebellum are also nominated for many more awards. The albums in contention for Album Of The Year are:

1. "Recovery" - Eminem

My pick for album of the year is "The Fame Monster" by Lady Gaga. We will have to see if my prediction is right in a couple of days.

Hello Kitty + Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga has done an interesting shoot in celebration of 35 years of Hello Kitty. It's a very cute picture compared to your average Gaga shoot where she is virtually naked. It's a nice change but still has the strange factor.

Lady Gaga arrives in New Zealand!

Gaga mania has hit New Zealand! She arrived 7am yesterday morning at Auckland Airport greeted by lots of fans and media. Lady Gaga tweeted "Just arrived in New Zealand, greeted at 7am by all my beautiful fans, glitter faces + police. Can't wait to perform the show of a lifetime." Gaga also surprised The Edge radio station by calling them. She told The Edge that she was being chased by her "little monsters" aka her fans. She also thanked The Edge for playing and supporting her music. The outfit she was wearing when she landed in Auckland was shocking and out there, but that's to be expected from Gaga. The boots she was wearing was just hideous. It looks like she ripped the hair off a poor little dog and attached them to her boots. Keep it up Gaga! Can't wait to see more outrageous outfits!

Peace Out!
