| | Escucha Grammys en Amazon Music Unlimited (ad) | |
La lista de actuaciones es muy discutible. Se mezclan los artistas horteras con los de calidad.
Estados Unidos en música están metidos en un “melting pot” , que mezcla Madonna con AC/DC . Con eso se dice todo. Polémica fiesta, que no representa a la música, sino a la industria.
Kanye West actuará el próximo domingo junto con Paul McCartney y Rihanna, como la gran sensación, cuando en los dos temas que ha intervenido Paul, con el piano y la guitarra, son flojos, más bien mediocres. Y ese será el gran momento álgido.
La gran fiesta además, contará con las actuaciones de los siguientes. Vaya mezcla:
Lady Gaga, Madonna, AC/DC, Ariana Grande, Eric Church, Ed Sheeran, Annie Lennox, Tony Bennett, Hozier, Jessie J., Tom Jones, Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Sam Smith, Pharrell Williams, Miranda Lambert, Usher, Common y John Legend.
Además, el cantante colombiano Juanes dijo que cantará en español una canción de su autoría durante la gala. ¡Que valiente!
Beyoncé Knowles, Sam Smith y Pharrell Williams, con 6 nominaciones cada uno, parten como grandes favoritos. Por supuesto. ¿Son los mejroes de la música actual?. Ni de lejos.
La gala, que tendrá lugar, como siempre, en el Staples Center , en el “downtown” de Los Ángeles (California), será presentada un año más por el infame LL Cool J.
El domingo de madrugada no lo veré. Lo dejaré grabado y no perderé el sueño.
PERO LA INDUSTRIA LO CELEBRA A LO GRANDE.
