THE GRAMMYS! IT WAS ACTUALLY A GOOD AWARDS SHOW!

First and foremost, I cannot even begin to describe what happened when Arcade Fire won Album of the Year for the immaculate The Suburbs. I was running around my room screaming and jumping on thing and looked absolutely batshit crazy and was totally okay with that. However, Arcade Fire's performance was kinda... huh. The lights. The BMX riders. I was pretty baffled. I wish they had played 'We Used to Wait'; I think 'Month of May' is a weird choice for their Grammy debut.

Rando notes - The Aretha tribute made me so giddy, especially the J.Hud + Flo combo. Xtina's crazed riffing still makes me cringe (CLEAN IT UP). I didn't realize everyone loved Lady Antebellum so much. I didn't realize you would make 'What's My Name' into a sexy tribal song. Janelle Monae ('Cold War') and Mumford & Sons ('The Cave,' possibly my favorite performance of the night) proved their worth by KILLING it live, natch; hopefully the Grammys take note and give these two deserving bands more nominations next time around. Ricky Martin wore weird skin-tight silver jeans, and I wanted to cry out of pity. Lady Gaga arrived in an egg slash womb, incubating, and once again was the talk of the town slash the only exciting thing on the red carpet; I adored her passionate, minimalist, throwback 90s pop performance of 'Born This Way' to no end (and will probably rant on it later, watch out). Lots of old people did lots of old people things and sounded great doing them. Katy Perry actually sounded pretty good live (!!!), as did Rihanna (with bronchitis!). Everyone is scrambling to find out who Esperanza Spalding. Cee-Lo Green was dressed up as a giant intergalactic parrot and sang with the Muppets, so I'm still trying to figure that out...

And last but not least... NICOLE KIDMAN WAS CAPTURED ON TELEVISION SINGING + DANCING TO "TEENAGE DREAM." That's all, folks.
