TRIVIA TODAY - Wednesday, February 16, 2011
Greetings Infomaniacs,
Did anyone watch the Grammy Awards the other night? I did
catch some of it. I think my favorite performance was Cee Lo
Green accompained by Gwenyth Paltrow for the clean version
of his hit song Forget You, which Gwenyth sang on an episode
of Glee. I probably just enjoyed it so much because I love
Glee!
I couldn't believe that Justin Bieber didn't grab that award
for Best New Artist (not that I'm upset about it). I'm sure
tweens everywhere were shocked and dismayed. Personally, I
have never heard of the person who did win, Esperanza
Spalding, but apparently she has been around for awhile now.
She even performed at the Oslo City Hall when President
Obama accepted his 2009 Nobel Prize!
Here's a few more fun facts about Grammy winners over the
years...
Enjoy!
