In past the past couple of years the Grammy's have failed to impress or excite even the most engaged of music fans, yet this year yielded several noteworthy performances and an incubating Lady Gaga.
Music's most eccentric didn't fail on giving us lots to talk about even while off the stage. Here's a rundown of the night's highlights:
-Adorable Willow Smith came dressed in her usual unique apparel, yet her colorful hair pieces may be something to rethink. We all know what it looks like if you OD on hair extensions. You wake up looking like a drunk walrus with a 3 year-old as your hairstylist.
-Smiley Bruno Mars sung live alongside Janelle Monae and B.o.B, but when it came down to his solo act, he seemed to be hitting all the wrong notes.
-Janelle Monae wowed the Grammy audience into a standing ovation after singing, dancing, jamming and stage diving, all while keeping her perfect pouf in tack. Bravo!
-Lady GaGa danced and sung (to a pre-recorded track) her new song "Born This Way" (which is obviously a total rip on Madonna's "Express Yourself." SOME OF US WEREN'T BORN YESTERDAY GAGA!).
After "hatching" from an egg she got her dance on in costumes created from what had to be surgical gloves.
Doctors everywhere are looking for their surgical gloves, only to find out they're clinging to Lady GaGa's body like...everything else that seems to go on her body.

-Bob Dylan made a performance appearance although I'm pretty sure he didn't know where he was until he was 3 lines into the song.
-Cee-Lo dressed as a Muppet in a Vegas cabaret show (hence the weird head thing and extravagant feathers) for his performance of "F*** You." Unfortunately, somebody has told Gweneth Paltrow to quit her day job and get to singing, because she came out singing and rolling all over Cee-Lo's piano like her next paycheck depended on it. In either her's or the network's dire attempts to get us interested in Gwen's singing talents, she came off looking even more ridiculous than a man in a Muppet costume from Vegas.
-Who the heck is Esperanza Spalding?
-My roommate and I have narrowed down a sure fire way to tell if you have The Bieber Fever:
You have The Bieber Fever if you go from talking about how much you love that song, "Baby Baby Baby" to talking about how adorable his dimples are.
-What are you Mick Jagger? Cause if my eyes served me correctly, you move as good as Usher. In fact, if half of the audience wasn't completely taken with The Bieber Fever, they could have switched out J. Biebs with Mick Jagger (or his robot impersonator) and nobody would have noticed.
-When did Usher become a member of the Starship Enterprise?
-Arcade Fire really showed the Grammy audience why they totally deserved Album of the Year, but their performance totally set you up for an epileptic seizure. If you didn't have seizures before, you probably will now. Please note, stay away from funhouses, Lady GaGa shows, and places that hand out glo sticks at the door.
