Hollywood, Ca

They call themselves Arcade Fire.  Tonight the band no one has ever heard of out side of their tiny enclave of Montreal, Canada is the HOTTEST rock band in the world after taking home the 2011 Grammy for "Best Album" of the year award. The name of the group album that won is called "The Suburbs." I still haven't heard of "The Suburbs."   Apparently, the album is their third studio recording and they have seven-members led by the husband and wife team of Win Butler and Régine Chassagne.

Okay.  Gaga was a total mes, but she was Lady who looked like "a tramp" once again.

The BEST of the BEST of the night was "Lady Antebellum'" who won took home the top two award (Record and Song of the Year) for "Need You Now!"

I also loved the Best New Artist winner.

Yep.  America is about to fall in love with Esperanza Spalding.

Who?

Esperanza Spalding, she is 26, plays the bass guitar, is from Portland, Oregon and she was named "Best New Artist" over the kiddie-popper Justin Bieber and rapper Drake.

I did like Espy. She actually CAN sing.  Novel concept, ain't it.

What were they all about?
