Good thing this isn't televised. Co-hosting the pre-show is guitarist Steve Vai and a very silly Miss Universe whose name I do not know. She just mispronounced Bruce Springsteen's name as the winner of the best video, long-form category. Who is this chick? I think Miss USA, the one who just got out of rehab, might have been more articulate now that she's sober as a judge. I hope she's laying off the sauce these days, she's a role model to millions!
OK, about five awards have been handed out and I can't pretend to care about recording package, boxed/limited edition package, historical album or classical engineering. The classical producer of the year winner just gave a super looooooooooooooooooooong speech. I ask you, is it really necessary to thank some dude who's been your friend for 35 years who has nothing to do with the music business.
Now they are in the opera categories. I. Have. The. Best. Job. In. The . World. Today. Still to come! Choral performance/1 chamber music! Classical crossover!
They are on number 12 on the agenda right now. I'm not even remotely interested until they get to number 20 which is Latin Pop Album.
Will check back then.
