Flares: Lady Antebellum - Own The Night

Lady Antebellum swept up the 2011 Grammys, winning five of their six nominated categories, cementing their status as cross-platform mainstream superstars. Certainly, Own the Night -- the 2011 sequel to their 2010 breakthrough Need You Now -- bears the sound of a band quite content with its position in the middle of the road. Any lingering elements of country, whether twang or 2-steps, have been banished and supplanted with a smooth soft rock designed to seep into the background wherever it's played. These songs of love won and lost tend to be so dreamy they verge on the sleepy, lacking any of the hushed urgency of “Need You Now” while retaining every ounce of its manicured prettiness. So, Own the Night is mood music but the aim isn’t amorous; it’s nothing more than a spot of relaxation, which doesn’t quite amount to compelling listening no matter how immaculate the execution.

Song: Lady Antebellum - We Owned The Night

We Owned The Night is the second single from Lady Antebellum's third studio album, Own The Night. The album will be release September 13.

I have to re-edit because I thought the song intro resemblance another song. I then figure it out and it is Whiney Duncan's Coming Home To You. I'm not telling Lady Antebellum is stealing or anything. I'm just telling the resemblance and Whitney Duncan is a very under-rated country singer so I thought this would be a good time to brought her up.

Grammy: The Ups And Downs of Music's Biggest Night

To say that I didn't enjoy the show, would be a lie. I gotta say performance wise it was one of the best I have watch in my short life and it shows as it was the most watched grammys since 2000 with 26.66 millions viewers. The list of the people that performed is long but my favorites was of course Lady GaGa's simple (for her) performance of her soon to be no. 1 single, Born This Way, Rihanna (with Drake) and Eminem, Dr. Dre and Skylar Grey was a great mashup. Katy Perry's Teenage Dream and montage of her wedding and performance of Not Like The Movies, Lady Antebellum, Cee-Lo (a.k.a Big Bird) with Gwneyth Paltrow, Mumfords & Sons, Bruno Mars, B.O.B. with Janelle Monae and Miranda Lambert. And the others did quite well.

And now to the awards.....Record And Song Of The Year are fine with me but Best New Artist and Album Of The Year is where I think some people got snubbed. Like i said before, the people that deserve Album of The Year is either Eminem or Lady GaGa, Arcade of Fire is the second last artist I would choose for the winner (ahead of Katy Perry) as they didn't have that much commercial success with their album though it was high praised by the critics. And The Best New Artist category. Everyone thought Justin Bieber would win this or (like I guess) Drake should win. Then Esperanza Spalding wins and funny enough some Believers when a little overboard with the situation by editing Esperanze's wiki page with "Justin Bieber deserved it go die in a hole. Who the heck are you anyway?" and "Biber 4 Lyfe." Bieber himself shared in his fans' frustration, telling MTV News on Sunday night, "I'm not going to lie — I was disappointed. But, you know, I'm gonna come back [next year] and we'll take a few home." Unlike the Wikipedia hackers, however, the "Baby" singer showed no bitterness whatsoever when he ran into Spalding backstage at the Staples Center. The two artists shook hands and Bieber congratulated Spalding on the victory.

Other than that congrats to Lady Antebellum that leads this year wins with five wins and Lady GaGa for her three awards and also other winners.

Best Performances of The Night

1. Lady GaGa - Born This Way

Grammy: 2011 Record of The Year Predictions

Should Win: Need You Now

Will Win: Love The Way You Lie/ F**k You

Record of The Year is different than Song of The Year. As Song of the Year is only judge by the song itself, even the singers not necessarily be the one who accept the award. Where Record Of The Year is the whole recording package, from the singer, production, engineering, and/or mixing. The writers are not involved.

Need You Now should win because of the success of the song going mainstream and the song is perfectly recorded and sung by the artist. But I think the one that will take the award will be either Love The Way You Lie or F**k You. Love The Way You Lie because of the song mixing and F**k You because of the song brilliant production. And of course because of the success of both songs.

Grammy: 2011 Song of The Year Prediction

Who Should Win: The House That Built Me (Miranda Lambert)

Who Will Win: Need You Now (Lady Antebellum)

The Grammy people loves country and they are the one that usually wins. So that's why I choose Need You Now that was received well both by critics and also pop radio. But they are not the only one that was mainstream last year. As four out of five of this year's nominees was commercially success with the exception of Beg Steal or Borrow by Ray Montagne.
