I have never seen the Grammys--ever. So maybe I don't have much to judge by. However, I tuned in to watch how the intro was handled, in light of last night's death of Whitney Houston. I thought it might be a borderline exploitative moment--too much, feeling contrived, etc. The host is LL Cool J, who I've always thought was a very appealing actor.
Did anyone else see the intro? I thought he did a very classy job. I am certain that it was a difficult thing to do--especially given performer's general tendancy for melodrama. He gave a poignant but unsappy intro, I thought.
But there is certainly one reality hanging out there that creates a real sense of loss: she seemed to have been gone long before she died. All these clips that the news outlets run are at least ten years old. Man, just say no. To crappy ass husbands. To drugs. To alcohol.
