Weekend Video




With so many award shows being cancelled I thought I'd pull out some highlights from last year's Grammy Awards for anyone feeling award show deprived. The first - Gnarls Barkley's live version of "Crazy" - immediately grabbed me with it's slowed down tempo and made me realize why the song was such a hit. I'm still not sure quite what the airline pilot outfits mean, but this version made "Crazy" seem like the signal song of the year.

The Corinne Bailey Rae/John Legend/John Mayer medley is nothing more than a great look at three original, ascendant, and
fresh performers. Like photography, no matter how well traveled the road may be, if it's the real thing fresh talent always finds a way.
