Fashionless Grammys
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Is it over?
Please tell me it’s over. I can’t stand watching the horrible outfits on the Grammy’s anymore.
Even the better outfits were mostly marginal. It was almost too easy to make fun of everyone on the red carpet. You know it’s bad when you make excuses for Chris Brown in a red and white “suit” that looks like a bad prom outfit. Or when you actually appreciate getting a laugh from Bai Ling’s floating hem dress with band-aid accessories on her legs.
Sadly things didn’t get much better on the show…Rihanna performed in a crazy corseted get-up while Beyonce basically wore sequined undies on stage. At least Alicia Keys lost the mohawk before performing the second time. But the shiny spandex leggings?????
Has it always been this bad? Have I just forgotten?

Oh Nelly! Not again..
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The good thing about the Grammy red carpet is that anything goes if you have the nerve to wear it like Soulja Boy in a T-shirt and sweats or Chris Daughtry in a dark 3-piece suit (despite 80 degree temps).
Fergie went classic in a yellow Calvin Klein dress with Cartier jewels, 
but it was Rihanna, with yet another variation on her asymmetrical haircut (surely the most copied hair since Jennifer Aniston’s “Rachel”), who is most likely to set a trend. Her blue fringed Zac Posen dress was slightly less spectacular than her hair, but the Chopard bracelet was gorgeous. 
I’m a little concerned about Nelly Furtado, 
who always seems to do the opposite of whatever the trend is and not in a good way. When everyone goes for dark hair, she goes blond. When everyone loses the major jewels, she wears a big gold necklace that reminded me of Tina Turner’s earrings in Mad Max.

Red Carpet Snooze
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I wish I knew someone throwing a Grammy viewing party, then maybe I would be viewing red carpet arrivals on a big screen in high definition, instead I’m stuck watching my 24-inch box, which makes it tough to see anything.
Of course, the first 45 minutes or so of the Red Carpet has been a total yawn so I haven’t missed much.
Alicia Keys and Natasha Bedingfield are the sole standouts among the early arrivers wearing jewel toned dresses (big for spring). Keys is wearing a beautiful navy gown by Armani that sadly was paired with a not-so-flattering mohawk influenced updo.
Natasha Bedingfield chose a deep purple Reem Acra gown with a belted waist and pleated skirt. 
Metallic lovers will like Miley Cyrus’ sequined Celine dress which she paired with a silver clutch. 
Ne-Yo represented for the guys in head to toe Farragamo including his black tie on black shirt and super shiny black patent leather shoes. Seal did the opposite in a white Yves Saint Laurent suit, with white shirt and a black tie. 
Is it me or is anyone else bored with this red carpet?
