Grammy Wrap-Up & Super Bowl Thoughts

Look who it is! The Jay man back tallying up his Grammy predictions. Also I will just share what I thought about the Super Bowl.

String of Posts 1/General Category: I was 3 for 4. The only one I got wrong was Record Of The Year. I found out Use Somebody stayed in the top 50 best-selling singles of 2009 ever since it debuted on the Billboard charts. That's 52 weeks of good sales. That's why they won.

String of Posts 2/Pop Category: I was 4 for 7. Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals I will comment on. I picked Taylor Swift & Colbie Caillat. I had the right idea here but didn't have the info I needed. I didn't know that these two wrote 80% of Taylor Swift's Fearless. You can't write more than 40% on somebody's CD to win this category. The rest of my wrong categories I just flat out missed.

String of Posts 3/Rock-Music Video Category: I was a combined 3 for 9. I got all of the music category wrong. And I really don't listen to rock music so that's my excuse for doing so bad.

String of Posts 4/R&B Category: I was 6 for 8. This music fits my stereotype. That's why I did so good in predictions. I would have picked another one right if I wouldn't have tried to give Jamie Foxx credit in the best R&B song category.

String of Posts 5/Country Category: I was 5 for 7. I am suprised I did well here! I really don't listen to country music. Chalk this one up to Billboard chart research. The best country instrumental performance category was totally a coin flip that worked.

String of Posts 6/Rap Category: I was 1 for 5. BIG SHOCKER!!!! I claimed I had the best knowledge of this category. Guess not!! I feel I got robbed this category. Jay-Z & Eminem dominated here. I personally feel the reason why they dominated is because they were actually at the Grammys. They won everything because they were personally in attendance. Some of the people I picked were not at the Grammys. Eminem's Crack A Bottle won best rap performance by a group? I don't understand this because the song doesn't even have a video. (To make things worse, my favorite artist Kanye West wasn't at the Grammys) Oh Well!

SUPER BOWL
Congrats to the Saints. They took advantage of Manning's interception to score a defensive touchdown. It was Manning's only mistake the whole game. I was going for the Colts & lost money. Not mad though. The Saints didn't have a turnover & managed the game well. Good Super Bowl and the commercials were okay. My fav commercial was the one where the child slapped the grown man for liking his mother. Funny as hell.
Ok. next post will be about some homeless habits I find weird. Stay tuned to the Jay man for more of the realest conversations you will ever have!
