This Was A Bit Good...

The Grammy's last week were undeniably owned by Beyoyo Knowles and Taylor 'T Swizzle' Swift, but even thought Lady GaGa didn't clean up the competition in all of her five nominated categories (although claiming two in a series of awards in the pre-show) she definately made sure that she made a lasting impression on the Grammy going audience.

Yes, monacles undoubtedly dropped into numerous glasses of champagne as Lady G took to the stage to open the show in a turqouise one-piece which left little (and eventually almost nothing) to the audiences imagination, performing a combination of 'Poker Face' and 'Speechless' which slotted nicely into a piano-led version of 'Your Song' which featured none other than Elton John, who performed the duet on a double sided piano. All of this was done in classic GaGa style of course, an impressive industrial backdrop in the form of 'The Fame Factory' allowed Miss GaGa to slip in one of her usual fame led narratives, this time being sucked in by the fame machine and to be spit out covered in soot and ash for the slower piano section.

All in all, very good. Aside from THAT narrator, we could've all done without that couldn't we?

And then there was this...

A lot had been made about Whitney Houstens first performance on UK shores in ten years when she was scheduled to drop in to the X Factor studios to perform her current Alicia Keys penned track 'Million Dollar Bill', however Whitters came off a little oddly both throughout the performance and the subsequent mini interview with Dermot afterwards.



Whilst Whitney certainly doesn't deserve the 'oh she's back on crack' comments that have begun to surface following this performance, we have to admit that in between her dress starting to fall off, then carrying it around with her for three quarters of the song and her constant reliance on her rather large posse of background singers, Whitney came off slightly less than a million dollars. 55p and a Toffee crisp perhaps - I jest! She can still hit some of those big notes for sure and she looked gorgeous!

Cheryl fight fight fight fights off the hataz

It was undeniable that this time last week Cheryl Cole was shitting herself about the debut performance of her first solo song 'Fight For This Love' on the very stage that she would be watching contestants and giving her opinion about their vocals. However, right now we hope she's giving herself a nice big pat on the back (she'll have to be careful mind wearing that spiky military outfit)

Defying many moaning critics who were predictably predicting a hypocritical three minute mime-a-thon from the X Factor judge, Cheryl absolutely ROCKED the X Factor studio this evening (or to be more precise, when ever it was that they recorded the performance - it was filmed hours before it was shown!)

Wearing her customised red military jacket and accompanying pilot style hat and backed by a mahoosive crowd of backing dancers, I'd say Cheryl proved all the 'hataz' wrong in this case. Well played Ms. Cole, enjoy your millenia long stint at number one!

Check out her performance!
