The Grammys: 2009

The Grammys are always a night to remember...
The Grammys are always a night to remember...

U2, Coldplay, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus...yup, this combination of talents can only mean one thing : The Grammys.

Msn.com gives all the otherwise-unknown details about the glamourous award show, like 'Highest Hair Award', 'Cutest Dress Award', and even 'Most Puzzling Speech'. Here's a couple of the good ones...

Cutest Unintentional Channeling of a Music Icon:
"Brit-soul sister Duffy looked just like Dolly Parton when she smiled, with her big blonde hair and those deep dimples."

Least Appropriate "Brother Act" to Reference as an Intro to the Jonas Brothers:
"Cain and Abel"...enough said...

Best Impression of a Silvery Garbage Bag:
"Estelle's unfortunate dress that looked like armholes had been cut in if five minutes before hitting the stage. Gorgeous girl deserves better!"

The Swallow IT Award:
"Best New Artist winner Adele (truly deserving)...is totally adorable, except that she was chewing gum. Onstage."

What was YOUR favorite winner? Who was the best performer?

 

In 2006, then-editor Steve Smith of The Spokesman-Review had the idea of starting a publication for an often forgotten audience: teenagers. The Vox Box was a continuation of the Vox, an all-student staffed newspaper published by The Spokesman-Review. High school student journalists who staffed the Vox made all content decisions as they learn about the trade of journalism. This blog's mission was to give students an opportunity to publish their voices. The Vox Box and the Vox wrapped up in June 2009, but you can follow former staffers' new blog at http://voxxiez.blogspot.com.
