The Grammys last night had a problem.  Actually, they had a lot of problems and I am about to address some of them right now.

First of all, the Grammys need to follow the Golden Globes lead and what the Oscars have done for years and that is go LIVE around the United States and the World.  We are living in an Internet world where people use Twitter and Facebook to converse and we have friends in different states that are watching it live while we wait for 3 hours, but we see them tweet about performers and awards. 

As we become more advanced, the need for LIVE shows is more important.  Trust me, people on the West Coast get screwed on finding out the results of American Idol as well. 

The Grammys were so heavy on commercials that it made me wish I DVR’d them instead of wanting to watch them live.  That was some lameness right there.  You don’t have a host so it cut down on time, but it doesn’t help when we are getting 15 minutes an hour of commercials. 

 If you guys are so strapped for cash then maybe you need to come up with this: “Here is the Best New Artist Award, brought to you by Target.  Target.  Where you get crap for less.”  I mean you are already commercialized so much any way, we wouldn’t really notice and then you would not have to go to a break so quickly.

Another thing is Adam Lambert got so much crap from censors about his performance at the American Music Awards.  You want to know what is more annoying to me?  When the Black Eyed Peas are performing and you hear about 10 seconds of dead audio because they just had to curse.  That was sooooo 1993. 

The Lil Wayne, Eminem and Drake performance was even worse.  It is not enjoyable at home and I am ALL about artistic expression but B.E.P. and Em, Wayne, and Drake, your performances were straight booty because you not being professional enough to keep it clean for TV.  It is the most annoying thing to not have audio for that long.  Can’t you think of other words that rhyme with duck or lit or pucker?  Come on now.  Show your versatility.

Lastly, the Grammys gave out a BUNCH of awards before the show.  Taylor Swift’s first ever Grammy was given before the show aired.  We missed her excitement.  Lady Gaga did not win any awards on the telecast but actually won 2 before the show.  Maxwell won R & B male but we did not see it.  Jay Z won two awards for D.O.A. and Eminem won for best rap album but we did not know.

Toby Keith talked about the grammys not giving Country music respect.  Sorry, but  for R & B music and Rap music categories to be ignored the way they have is horrible. 

A message to the Grammys, the MTV Awards, The American Music Awards, the TV networks and Award show producers need to figure this out and make some changes or the Grammys next year won’t be in my home, they can go home.-Dr.FB

Eminem & Lil Wayne

Elton John is reportedly helping Eminem battle some addictions.  He has been helping Eminem battle his drug addictions for about a year but is just now making it public.

One has to wonder if this was made public as Eminem’s profile has remained low after the death of his 8 Mile co-star Brittany Murphy, whose death at this time is still not known although people think it may have been prescription meds.-Dr.FB

It’s rare when an artist tops The Beatles, but Eminem has done just that. Eminem has 2 cd’s in the top 10 of that list.  The Beatles had the best selling CD of the Decade however.

Here is the top 10 list of artists and sales:

1. Eminem 32.2
2. The Beatles 30
3. Tim McGraw 24.6
4. Toby Keith 24.4
5. Britney Spears 22.9
6. Kenny Chesney 22
7. Linkin Park 21.4
8. Nelly 21.2
9. Creed 20.5
10. Jay-Z 20.3

Linken Park and Creed?  Seriously?  Hope none of you are NOT surprised by the amount of country artists who made the list as a majority of their fans buy the CD’s instead of downloading the music for free.

So how many people will admit to buying Creed CD’s?  Where you at?-Dr.FB

Eminem has dropped a new song “Elevator” and the beat is hot but the lyrics are not.

Em covers ground he covered 8 years ago and changed a word that rhymes with “maggot” and did 8 years ago much better.  I love Eminem and I thought by now, he would have moved on in the sense of more grown up lyrics and he hasn’t.

Bringing up Adam Lambert does not make it current when you still bring up Lance Bass.  Maybe Eminem needs more beef with Mariah because at least while still being a sharp lyricst, his lyrics at least had a bite instead of a bark.

What do you think?-Dr.FB

Slim Shady and the 8th Wonder of the World are still kids at heart, check it out!

Before Marshall Mathers was Slim Shady (aka Eminem) he was part of a group called ‘Soul Intent’.  Who? Yeah, I know, I was thinking the same thing.  Why does Vanilla Ice pop into my head when I listen to these tracks and look at the pic attached? I’m not comparing the two at all ….. Just sayin’

Take a listen and tell me what you think….

So is she worried about Whitney or does the CD really need more post-production? Me thinks she is worried about Whitney so it does need post-production.

The CD is now slated for late September. She has dropped out of the Today Show and is being replaced by Miley Cyrus and has even dropped out of the MTV Awards.  Obsession did nothing on the charts although I have heard nothing negative about it. The diss track by Eminem was hot but Nick Cannon quoting from the bible as a response, not so much.

Maybe Mariah should get Eminem to some how appear on the CD, since he is obsessed right Mariah? You put him on it, that CD will sell.-Dr.FB

Ha! Ha! The best Cannon can do is give peaceful tweets….he has been given a final warning.   Sounds like Eminem has Nick by the balls.

Do you agree with Miss Wendy?

Wino Winehouse is single, sober (yeah, right) and ready to mingle.  So, who is going to take one for the team? We all know her sh** is dirty, and oh so friggin’ crazy.  My guess is  Eminem, cause they have so much in common.  He did seem to enjoy kissing her “look-a-like” in his ‘We Made You’ video.

How long before we see her and some crack head licking mice on youtube?? Tick Tock…..
