That was a popular Facebook status and Twitter update last night as Taylor Swift not only performed, but took home Album of the Year at the Grammy’s. There’s no doubt that this young woman has talent, but her album did not beat out the competition based on merit. Personally, I think it is because she has become the sentimental media favorite because of Kanye West interrupting her at the MTV Video Music Awards.
My vote went for Dave Matthews Band’s “Big Whiskey and the GrooGrux King.” It sums up the energy that DMB brings to a live performance, a live performance that they can pull off – unlike Swift. I felt bad for Stevie Nicks for having to sing her infamous song “Rhiannon” with Swift. She deserves better, as does, DMB. They should have won – there I said it.
I understand my opinion is just my opinion and I invite you to share yours as well.
