The Blog Monster: Rolling Stone Live Blogs the 2010 Grammys

Posted by Admin on Jan 31, 2010 in Chatter | 0 comments

The 52nd Annual Grammys are about to begin, and Lady Gaga is already the talk of the night with her white geometric hoop dress (and a few early wins). Will Beyoncé convert more of her 10 nominations into trophies? Will MusiCares honoree Neil Young nab his second-ever Grammy (he scored his first earlier tonight)? Will Britney Spears steal the spotlight by simply attending the show? Follow along as we track the action all night long.

Look back at the best of Rolling Stone’s Grammy coverage.

7:58 p.m.: The show is about to begin and RS already has something to celebrate — victories for Jeff Beck, Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Bruce Springsteen and Kings of Leon. Keep up with the winners here.

8:00 p.m.: Lady Gaga opens the show on a stage dubbed “The Fame Factory.” Adam Lambert is likely jealous of her mint-green sparkled Kiss-style outfit, with its giant shoulder wings and platform shoes. She cuts off “Poker Face” after the first chorus, gets dropped into a fiery pit like a Batman villain to be turned into a monster — actually, she lands at a piano facing Elton John! They’re duetting on her track “Speechless,” performing a sort of glitter-off. “Thank you, love you, Sir Elton John,” Gaga ad libs.

8:07 p.m.: Stephen Colbert proclaims the night important because it reinforces “the right of celebrities to congratulate each other” and jokes he’d like to see a special collabo tonight: Adam Lambert and “any sense of personal restraint.” Even better, he whips out an iPad to read the nominees for Song of the Year (”Jay-Z, did you not get one of these in your gift bag?”). Winner: the writers of Beyoncé’s “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)”

8:13 p.m.: Jennifer Lopez intros Green Day? Who plotted that?!
