By far, the best performance at the 2011 Grammy Awards was "Forget You" by Grammy award winner Cee-Lo Green ft. Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow. The performance was comical, colorful and full of character. The song, originally "F*** You" is single released off of Cee-lo's album The Lady Killer, released a few months ago in 2010. It's a great song - if you take away the intentions of it - nevertheless, lately you know you have a hit on your hands if your song appears on the hit show, Glee. Some may have been surprised by Paltrow's musical abilities, but in a recent episode of Glee she not only proved that she's a good actress, but that she can too hold a note. So for those of you who thought the Grammys were a bit lackluster, I couldn't agree more, but this performance made me smile. Happy watching!

BEST DRESSED: THE GRAMMYS!!!!!!!
SPARKLE. GLITTER. LEATHER. LACE. PLEATING. GATHERS. SPIKES. SPLITS.
Just yesterday, the Grammy Awards aired and everyone is already buzzing about this year's female celebrity gown choices. As usual, we had the good, the bad, and the just plain boring... But lets focus on the most stylish red carpet moments of this year's Grammy Awards. Who DOESN'T enjoy some good fashion eye candy, anyway?!
New mom, Jennifer Hudson in a dress from Victoria Beckham's S/S 2010 collection...She's also rockin' a Spring 2010 trend with a Lucite bracelet (picture from stylelist.com).
A BIG red carpet fashion trend this year - nude dresses! Katy Perry in Zac Posen, Beyonce in Stephane Rolland and Keri Hilson in Dolce & Gabbana (picture from stylelist.com).
Taylor Swift was glowing in Kaufman Franco (picture from huffingtonpost.com).
Mary J. Blige looks gorgeous which is so NOT a shocker! She wore a gown by Gucci (picture from gather.com).
My personal favorite of the night... Miley Cyrus in her dress by Herve Leger. &EYE must say her hair compliments the dress perfectly (picture from gather.com).
The dress that Rihanna wore, by Elie Saab, is kind of causing a fashion controversy since it's on best AND worst dressed lists... However, I think it's gorgeous! (picture from gather.com)
Jennifer Nettles looked ultra stylish in her Victoria Beckham gown (picture from gather.com).
What do you think?!? Comment!!

2010 Grammys Commentary + Winners
One of the biggest nights in music took place last night, the 52nd Annual Grammy Awards, and let's just say that it was Ladies' Night. The biggest winners of the night were Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift and the leader of the pact, Beyoncé - who made history by being the first to win six Grammys in one night. Check out the elleELLEeye commentary by ♥ t i f f a n y & DANiE, our favorite performance and the full list of the 2010 Grammy winners!
I was totally surprised that Lady Gaga opened the show with Elton John (and Elijah Kelley, commentator of the performance from the hit movie Hairspray), but I must say she put on a performance. The show continued with a comedic slot by Stephen Colbert who won a Grammy for Best Comedy Album.
"Song of the Year" went to the well deserved hard-working woman of show business, Beyoncé! I'll admit that I was a little disappointed that Bey didn't perform something else (considering I watch all of her performances and "If I Were A Boy" is old to me), but she delivered regardless. Did anyone peep Keri Hilson with her dead down while she was performing though? No comment...no Grammy =x
Green Day's performance was excellent!
Goldilocks herself, Taylor Swift, graced the stage and sang a total of three songs. The first song, she sang solo and remaining two songs she performed with country legend Stevie Nicks. She sounded pretty good, very mellow and chill, but I was looking forward to rocking out with her - which didn't happen...booo!
The "3D" Tribute to Michael Jackson was performed by Celine Dion, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson and Smokie Robinson.
I didn't have 3D glasses! If you watched this tribute with them, please let me know how it looked! There's no denying the talent these artist possess. I cant believe Michael's gone, but it was a little heart wrenching to hear his voice on the track as the artists sang with it. The tribute was dope.
I had 3D glasses, and it made no difference! If you think about it, it shouldn't have worked because it's really us (the people at home) watching someone else watch a 3D movie. I thought that the tribute was a bit creepy and that they could have done something else. I'm sure Michael would be flattered and taken back being honored, but if I was the King of Pop I would have wanted to see something else. I give that performance a thumbs down.
Prince and Paris Jackson once again showed their courage and spoke to the thousands of people in place of their late father Michael Jackson. What did you think about their short speeches?
I thought that Prince is very well-spoken and I appreciated Paris' little thank you. They are some brave kids.
Best Rap Collab: Rihanna and Jay-Z, "Run This Town". Their appearance with Juelz (Beyoncé's nephew) was the best part. The dapper little boy wore his tux with a fresh pair of Nike Dunks! When Rihanna picked him up and asked him if he had anything to say, he politely smiled and said "No, thanks". HOW CUTE! I AGREE!
Wyclef Jean stepped to the stage and reminded everyone of how strong the Haitian people are. I thought that was important because the news does portray some of the saddest images. That's a good take on it. I thought he looked a little too happy, but I see what you mean.
Pink's performance wasn't much different from that of the one she gave at the MTV VMAs. She did the whole gymnast/acrobatic thing, and though some were amazed, I was bored and confused at the part where she was dips in water and started spinning in the air. I would've been mad if I got wet!
The most random part of the night for me was when I missed the introduction to a performance. What performance? Jamie Foxx and T-Pain's "Blame It" with Doug E. Fresh. I thought it was so funny! Jamie is crazy.
Round of applause to Lil' Wayne, Eminem, and Drake! They graced the staged together and did a good job. Drake is growing as a performer, I actually enjoyed watching him.
The biggest awards of the night, Album of the Year, went to the American Sweetheart, Taylor Swift. She beat out Beyoncé, Black Eyed Peas, Lady Gaga and the Dave Matthews Band. Honestly, I wanted the B.E.P. to win, but I think all of those nominated deserved it.

And my favorite performance was...Black Eyed Peas (who won three awards) doing "Imma Be" and "I Gotta Feeling". Happy Watching!
