First off, your blog is really exciting and enjoyable to look at. The pictures and layout allows others to be interested in your topic. I think that your post about the Grammy's truly was a great way to show how music is loved all over the world by millions of people. I watched the Grammy's, and while watching I was thinking exactly what you were. The Grammy's is a perfect way for alls artists and the world to appreciate what music has brought to the entertainment world. When Carrie Underwood, Neyo, Usher, Celin Dion, and Jennifer Hudson all sang a Michael Jackson song, it was a perfect example how artists from all genres are able to come together to celebrate their passion for music.
I completely agree that the Grammys is a time for all artists to come together and see how music has impacted our society. Especially after Haiti, artists have been working towards using their mustic to raise money. I know on Itunes there are like twenty songs that you can download and the proceeds go to Haiti, so it just shows the huge impact music can make when in a time of need. I think you're so lucky that the Grammys were during the time of this project because artists can see all the appreciation there is for their mustic. When Taylor Swift won album of the year, her excitement could easily be shown in the tone of her voice. This type of recognition really puts into perspective how important music is to everyone, especially with how popular it is to watch the Grammys.
