On TV / Awards / Videos / Opinion / News Britney Spears 'performs' on Good Morning America
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Tue, Mar 29, 2011 at 10:30 AM
Did you catch Britney Spears on Good Morning America on Tuesday morning? It was quality entertainment — and I mean that in a laugh-out-loud sense.
Here's what's sad. The show sold out in 14 minutes. So people had to buy tickets to this, just like any other Britney Spears concert. And just like any other Britney Spears concert, she lip synced the entire thing. Known to lip sync so that she can focus on her dancing, Spears could hardly get her ass moving this morning. Maybe it was the early hour, maybe she's just out of shape.
She sat on boxes and gave them a light humping. She threw a hand in the air and waved it around like she kinda didn't care too much... Her panties hung out of her leotard. It was a hot mess with the emphasis on mess.
Her fans won't care because they're fans. They'll say I don't know what I"m talking about and that I'm a hater. The fact is — they should care. They should be outraged. They should want to see someone sing and give it their all instead of acting like a puppet or like a 5-year-old putting on a Britney Spears impression for a child's talent contest. It was weak, lacked emotion and showed what's completely wrong with pop stars these days.
Dear Britney, why don't you give a shit? Oh yeah, because you're rich and your fans are paying you and not complaining. Your new album, Femme Fatale, is out today and I hope sales are poor. Not so that you don't earn money, but maybe to inspire you to offer something worth a damn.

On TV / Awards / Opinion / News 53rd Annual Grammy results
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Mon, Feb 14, 2011 at 10:38 AM
Wow, what a night! First off, big congratulations to The Avett Brothers for a fantastic performance and great job backing up Bob Dylan!
Who wasn't surprised by some of the night's biggest awards? Lady Antebellum received the award for Song and Record of the Year, Esperanza Spalding won Best New Artist and Arcade Fire won Album of the Year. Never would have guessed it!
Here were my predictions. Overall, I got a terrible 39 right out of the 109 categories. Some of my "second choices" were correct; and I also oddly talked myself out of some winners... Oh well. With so many surprises in the main categories, I'm not shocked by my results.

On TV / Awards / Opinion / News 3rd Annual Grammy Predictions
Posted By Jeff Hahne on Fri, Feb 11, 2011 at 12:04 PM
It's that time of year again, when I bore you with a long list of Grammy Award predictions. That's right — I give my thoughts on all 109 categories.
In 2009, there were predictions for 110 categories. I only got 49 right, but would have had 61 if I went with first instincts.
In 2010, there were predictions for 109 categories. I did a little better as I got 52 correct.
Now, without further ado, here are this year's selections and comments:
Record Of The Year — "Empire State of Mind" was released in 2009, so it shouldn't even be included here. It would be hilarious to hear someone say, "The winner is, 'Fuck You'!"
