The latest from our Heart and Soul

So at this very moment I am writing this I am watching the American Music Awards...and I think my ears are bleeding. So far the only thing I am wishing for is that someone, for the love of all that is good and holy, will please lip sync.

As I am typing Justin Bieber is oozing Tag body wash all over the stage. pop_culture_AMA Trying to dig deep into his soul, but ﬁrst has to dig past the silly bands and lego. He is a child after all, how far down can you actually dig.

So am I getting old? Or are the artist now days just truly crap? O.M.G I sound like my father. Either I have no idea who they are, or they can only sing when in the cocoon of “auto tune”. The amount of gold teeth honestly has nothing to due with the size of your talent, only the size of your wallet, ego and bad taste.

I watched Bon Jovi do yet another greatest hits montage and was “Living on a Prayer” that someone would run a cheese grater over my face to dull the pain. Ne Yo tried to steal the show with an awkward movie type video. I was about to lose all hope and change the channel, and quite honestly would of long ago if I didnʼt have to write this post.

Then like a dismal award show savior she appeared, mama-to-be Pink and rocked the house as usual. Leave it to a mom-to-be to save the show. As quickly as she swooped in and made the show entertaining she was gone and the sad reality of the dismal failure the show had become was back. Where is Amy Winehouse staggering out on stage. Where is Kanye West stealing the microphone from the virginal Taylor Swift? Instead I get the lead singer of Maroon 5 in sparkly skinny jeans...No wait...that was Train. Oh, who the hell knows, anything has to be better than Kesha in strange light up goggles trying to sing. I am currently tempted to throw in a Richard Simmons sweating to the oldies video.

I honestly have nothing else to say about the evening except to express my utter disappointment. I LOVE award shows, LOVE THEM. Much to my husbands dismay I watch and enjoy them immensely. After this years American Music Awards I was left totally unsatisﬁed, this ladies is the reason (one of many) that my ex is my ex.

slammer-time-cocktail And the Award goes to ...Tartini...
