Who do you think you are?
I mean, do you really think it's cool to copyright every single performance made on your telecast last Sunday so that no honest, hard-working person can sit down and enjoy a little Jay-Z/Coldyplay collaboration in the comfort of their own home, having missed the live show because they had better things to do, like making money to pay their rent?
I mean, I've heard of a lot of uncool things, but this might be the worst. Here I was, all amped to see M.I.A, 9 months pregnant but still rocking out to "Paper Planes" when every YouTube video I click on gives me, "This video has been removed do to copyright claims by the Grammys."
How is it possible to copyright a musical performance, one that has been televised on network t.v.? And more importantly, who does that?
And just when I think you couldn't get any lamer, you go ahead and advertise on your hideous web site that "select" performances will be available for purchase on iTunes.
Oh, HOW GENEROUS OF YOU. What a thoughtful, logical idea to offer music fans the chance to dip into their already scarce, recession-ridden bank accounts and pay $1.99 for 4 minutes of a Katy Perry performance that has already been broadcasted and probably TiVo'd by a million people.
My sincerest endearments of gratitude, Grammys. Your benevolent virtues know no bounds.
Thank you for proving to me that music, like everything else in this world, is produced solely to make other people richer.
Not So Best Regards,
Brianne Olsen
p.s. Get over Springsteen already. He doesn't even care about your dumb little trophies.

If it makes you feel any better, I was slightly dissapointed in MIA's performance. It was just a tiny bit boring. But props to her for being literally ready to pop & performing live on the Grammy's.
haha this made me laugh. you are the best brianne.
This reminds me of something... oh yeah, the Jennifer Hudson video that has been removed from this very blog.
