I watched most of the Grammys last night, and honestly? It was a mixed bag. I mean, sure, there were some cool moments, but nothing that’s gonna stick with me for long. It always feels so political, just like the Oscars.

Beyoncé winning Album of the Year for her country album Cowboy Carter was surprising. Over Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, and the others? I don’t think so. Plus, beating Chris Stapleton for Best Country Album? No way.

Chappell Roan’s acceptance speech, in which she criticized the music industry, probably won’t get the response she thinks it will. Although it was bold, that feels par for the course for this artist.

The performances were where things got fun. Sabrina Carpenter brought the energy and fun. Benson Boone, with his ripped tux and crazy flips in a shiny bodysuit, was also entertaining. I can’t stand his song (especially that scream), but I’ll give him style points.

But Doechii? She was something else. I’d never heard of her before, but her performance was electric. She moved with incredible precision, switching between vocal styles like it was nothing, backed by dancers in matching suits. My wife and I were totally blown away.

Raye was another surprise. This UK artist performed an incredible hip-hop-soul fusion, scatting in front of an old-school bandstand. It was just phenomenal.

The thing about the Grammys is they’re basically a one-night wonder. Super entertaining while you’re watching, but by tomorrow? Completely forgotten. It’s like musical fast food - tasty in the moment, zero nutritional value afterward.

And seriously… The Rolling Stones and The Beatles winning again? Come on.
