True Romance By Taylor K. Long This Valentine's Day, enjoy this collection of a handful of my favorite "love songs" and songs about love. Whether you are part of a duo or flying solo-remember this piece of advice:I kept asking Clarence why our world seemed to be collapsing and things seemed to be getting so shitty.And he'd say,"That's the way it goes, but don't forget, it goes the other way too." That's the way romance is... Usually, that's the way it goes, but every once in awhile, it goes the other way too.

Tony Bennett and Carrie Underwood - Getty With only a handful of the 78 categories being awarded during the telecast, the 54th annual Grammy Awards producers were able to cram tons of performances into the show. Those performances included collaborations between stars of all genres and generations of music.

The 2012 Grammy Awards made us experience a rainbow of emotions during its three-and-a-half-hour telecast. Adele made us giggle with her adorable acceptance speeches , while Katy Perry's unflattering hair color just made us angry. We wept over Jennifer Hudson's moving tribute to Whitney Houston, and cried even more when Nicki Minaj began flying over the stage like a scene out of The Craft . But oh, there were so many more memorable moments from music's biggest night.

Getty Thank goodness for the photographers who roamed around backstage and in the audience at the 54th annual Grammy Awards last night (February 12), or else we wouldn't have known Lady Gaga attended the show. The woman who grabbed headlines at last year's show by arriving to the red carpet in an egg/vessel/womb skipped the carpet this year and watched the show and schmoozed with guests, like Paul McCartney , quietly from her seat, while donning a fishnet dress. Other backstage and audience moments included first-time Grammy winner Chris Brown [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-13T08:22:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4056827/photos-rihanna-katy-perry-taylor-swift-more-walk-red-carpet/

Getty The music world is still understandably shocked by the sudden loss of one of its greatest voices, the incomparable Whitney Houston , who died yesterday (February 11) at the age of 48. It wasn't immediately clear how the tragedy would affect the annual Clive Davis pre-Grammy party, which Houston was scheduled to attend in support of the man who discovered her. But with Clive's blessing, the party, now with a more somber tone, went on.

This year saw stars coming out to honor former Beatle and legend Paul McCartney . Alicia Keys attended and was the picture of class in her emerald green blouse and black skirt. Katy Perry went for a head-turning, all-pink ensemble, topped off with a huge rose petal hat. (Good luck to anyone sitting behind her!) Both singers honored McCartney with performances.

MA: Nas, Alicia Keys, Jay-Z: Side A (The performers themselves, predictably) claim Carnegie Hall means a supreme moment for Hip-Hop. Side B (My brain) tells me this is a non-moment for Hip-Hop. Irrelevant, not true, nutso. What do you think? Like a strange physics law, that as soon as you see something it changes, it is not the same as when you did not see it. As soon as hip-hop climbs a stage reserved for classical art, it stops being hip-hop. ? Or does it not?

The late, great Etta James, who died last month at the age of 73, will be honored with a special performance during the 2012 Grammy Awards . Though many artists have contributed stunning covers of James' classic songs , Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt have been chosen to tribute the iconic singer during the telecast. We have no doubt Keys and Raitt will deliver a memorable performance, but we must stress the importance of avoiding to spray-tan tight before the show .]]> text/html 2012-02-07T19:18:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4044273/did-bon-iver-back-out-of-grammys-etta-james-tribute/
