Sunday night’s Grammys were just … boring.

Sure, there were standout moments—Hozier and Annie Lennox, Paul McCartney, Rihanna and Kanye West, Sia, Beck.

But the reality is that most of the performances were slow, undramatic and completely predictable. Even the winners were predictable (except for one but we’ll get to that later).

First, there’s Adam Levine and Gwen Stefani’s abysmal performance. What could have been a kick-ass rock performance was instead some weird ballad that didn’t let either of them showcase the full extent of their talent.

Then, Jessie J and Tom Jones made a way too obvious attempt to be Lady Gaga and Tony Bennett without any of the acclaim. Once again, abysmal. (I like having an excuse to repeatedly use that word).

Those weren’t all the performances (duh, obviously) but just the top two examples of the Grammys putting us to sleep.

And though I’m excited Sam Smith won so many deserved awards, it was predictable. Check our Grammys pick ‘ems from last week, and you’ll see what I mean. We all knew Sam Smith would sweep the awards. Don’t lie. You knew it, too, regardless of wanting Beyoncé and Hozier to win.

But little lights were found in Annie Lennox putting us all under a spell with Hozier goofily smiling out of sheer joy, Rihanna’s comeback with Paul and Kanye, and Kristen Wiig casually dancing during Sia’s performance of “Chandelier.” Those three performances, and just those three, made the Grammys worth watching for one reason—they were memorable. They were collaborations we may have never witnessed live otherwise, and it’s Monday afternoon and we’re still talking about them.

Then, there’s Beck’s black horse win of album of the year for “Morning Phase.” Someone in our office made a key point that Beck’s win was a big hit to diversity though, and I agree. Beyoncé’s album defined 2014, and by pushing it aside, the Academy is saying they don’t care about women, especially women of color.

Yet, I still think Beck deserved his awards. All his years of hard work and innovation have earned him some mainstream recognition.

That is until Beck got on stage with Chris Martin, and Chris Martin ruined the whole thing.

Grammys: putting us to sleep since 2015.
