Although some of their performances at the 2025 Grammy Awards were pretty good, the Recording Academy tried to cram three different mid-shows into one Frankenstein.
To their credit, they raised fundraisers for burned citizens in Los Angeles, raising more than $7 million for MusicCares. They also tried to celebrate some music, but their tastes are as narrow as Twitter’s Stan War. But they tried both of them, but desperately wanted to go viral. Worst of all, the Grammys extended all of this to an unforgivable four hours.
For the first 20 minutes, the 2025 Grammy Awards looked poised to become the most troublesome awards show since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock. Host Trevor Noah hasn’t humiliated anyone. In fact, he seemed annoyed by his short leash. “I can’t say anything,” he shrugged at Billie Eilish during the joking chat.
But we can allow him to suffer from one of the more difficult hosting jobs in recent memory. His main job was apparently to give viewers emotional whiplash. Welcome to the 2025 Grammy Awards, a gloomy celebration of joy. Shame about fire, here are some butts now. He might then pause for applause as the camera couldn’t decide whether to pan half frozen celebrities and pretend to be sad or to pretend to enjoy. The crowds of award shows almost always sour as trophies are awarded to a small number of people. However, I felt that this Grammy Award was nervous from the Jump.
Luckily, the performance kept things interesting. Sabrina Carpenter showed off some thrown Hollywood slapstick, Chappell Roan pretending to be a sight, Charli XCX kept her underwear in the rain, and the best new artist Medley finally hopped the crowd.
However, the Recording Academy has been unable to focus on music for a long time. A homage to Quincy Jones is oddly Mc’d by Will Smith and still tries to rehabilitate his image last Awards show. He didn’t mention slaps, but he told a pair of very boring stories. Quincy Jones personally taught him to be a good person. The Fresh Prince of Bel Air It’s classic. He spoke longer than the best new artist candidates (Kurang Bin’s Justice!). It didn’t raise funds for disaster relief and did not respect Quincy Jones – it seemed like a personal favor to Smith and a sarcastic ploy for attention. Did you say you ran for 4 hours at this show?
