Síce s poriadnym oneskorením, ale predsa, vám prináame tožko iadané Grammy. Karola sme preverili a ukázalo sa, e je čistý a nesabotoval nám server. Asi to len blbo vylo a internetový kriatok úradoval, pretoe úroveň Grammy bola na historicky najniej úrovni a nemohol sa na to pozera. Musím sa prizna, e s ním súhlasím a toto odovzdávanie kadoročne sledujem len z pracovnej povinnosti, keďe kadým rokom je to horie a nudnejie.
Čo sa týka celebrít, známe tváre sa tam striedali s pre mňa občas absolútne neznámymi a vystúpenia tie slabie. Vyzdvihnem snáď len Aliciu Keys, ktorá hrala na dvoch klavíroch naraz.
Čo sa týka outfitov, páčila sa mi Gaga, Dua Lipa a Miley. Otrasne dogabané boli Katy Perry a Cardi B a v tesnom závese za nimi Janelle Monae.
Čo sa páčilo a nepáčilo vám, milí pikokári? Napíte v komentoch.
