Kick Ass Grammys

Hell-o! Christina Aguilera you are amazing! Thrilled to pieces the Dixie Chicks won (and won big, I might add!) and loved the Police reunion. I thought the James Brown tribute was classy. The John Mayer/Corrine Bailey Rae/John Legend collaboration was borrrrring (and I adore John Legend!), Carrie Underwood was the surprise of my night. I am totally impressed with her voice. Gosh... so much happened last night! One of the best Grammys in a very long time.
