I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow. So I left it for you! We’re all looking forward to your Whitney Houston memorial post!

Hilarious. You’re absolutely right. Just to clarify, I think the speech is fine on its own. But in the context of what was said in his interviews, I feel like he was developing a narrative he wasn’t prepared to fulfill. If he really wanted to make a statement about the Grammys, that was his opportunity and he squirmed through it. Whatever sweating there was in the crowd was as “What was that?” as his winning was “Who was that?” Like everyone knows they’ve been pranked but no one knows quite how.

But it’s hard to accept an award, right? Maybe even harder than refusing one, like Marlon Brando or Fiona Apple. The dude brought awkwardness to the Grammys, which is a kind of refusal just by itself. He made every polished act that was sitting there and nodding look like fools. He said “Jagjaguwar,” which in that room is tantamount to speaking portuguese in a Cracker Barrel. I’d say Justin did just what he set out to: make folks sweat with him for a minute. I bet he’s spray-painting those awards right now and putting his new “matte grammys” on his Pinterest board. The cycle continues.

Also, Depeche Mode use this beat on “A Question of Lust.” I found this blog by googling “dum da dum ch.” Haw haw!

Pregnant. wow. Those “eh-eh-eh”s sound like something you hear when you squeeze Chuckie. Nevertheless, I will hold this track very close to my heart.
