Every year awards shows like the Grammy’s are glorified, hyping up the masses to see which of their favorite artists will be graced with the coveted Grammy.

To be honest I did not find this year’s awards ceremony very entertaining. For one thing a lot of the celebrities’ attempt at humor fell flat to say the least, especially Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson he was just painful to watch.

The 51st annual Grammy Awards show premiered on CBS at 8p.m.

The two and half hour event began with an opening performance by U2.

Another thing was the awards presentations.

There are about 100 categories up for awards in the Grammy’s, obviously too many to present on one night without boring the entire audience. However, there should have been more of a focus on the awards and the recipients instead of on an abundance of performances, which many not have been a good thing.

There were over 16 performances that night, most of which were duets or included surprise acts, but only a handful were actually good.

Here’s my list:

Top Five Performances: – Jennifer Hudson

– M.I.A., Kanye West, T.I., Jay-Z and Lil Wayne

– BB King, Keith Urban and John Mayer

– T.I and Justin Timberlake

– Dave Grohl and Paul McCartney
