Lady Gaga Grammy Debacle Continues As Criticism Spreads And Family Of Natalie Cole Slam Snub

Lady Gaga as David Bowie

The Grammys are still being slammed over their telecast this past Sunday that suffered the lowest rating in 7-years. I did not watch the show (I'm boycotting them over giving copyright infringing artists Grammys), but I have read articles on the telecast and seen a clip on Twitter of Lady GaGa's tribute to the late music legend David Bowie.

Lady GaGa can sing, but it would have been better had she not tried to dress like Bowie and franticly moved around the stage like an escaped mental patient. Bowie's performances were not like that. GaGa looked clumsy trying to be Bowie and the make up was amateurish and symmetrically uneven. They did not correctly recreate his look. Bowie simply didn't look that way.

The Grammy committee could have allowed Gaga to do ONE song not EIGHT, which led to other tributes being scrapped. They could have also invited Bowie's friends Mick Jagger and Grace Jones to America from England to do a tribute, as they knew him and are apart of that time in music, having lived it with him during their respective hay days. The Gaga tribute was very misguided and strange to the point it even offended Bowie's son.

The family of the late music legend, Natalie Cole, has slammed the Grammy committee for omitting a tribute to the singer who died last December. As stated in previous articles, I am not of the belief the snub was racially related, as the Grammys have given many awards to minorities over the years.

I remember when I was a kid Cole dominated a Grammy telecast with the song "Unforgettable" winning multiple awards for her moving duet with her deceased dad, Nat King Cole. However, the Grammys scrapped a musical tribute to Cole and others because Gaga's overindulgent 7-minute set to Bowie that audiences deemed a big commercial for her sponsor Intel, took over the show.

 Gaga's set should have been shorter. As stated in the column on Monday, February 15, 2016, prior to the Grammys' airing "Even 30-seconds of a top song by each such as Cole'a 'Unforgettable' White's 'September' or 'After The Love Is Gone' Bowie's 'Let's Dance' and 'You Belong To The City' by Frey from the Miami Vice soundtrack." (Grammy Awards Slammed As Racist Over Excluding Black Stars From The Posthumous Musical Tribute Segment Of The Show)."

Natalie Cole won 9 Grammys in her career and received 21 nominations

No one would have been offended at such a montage and performance sequence. If they had closed out the tribute section with "After The Love Is Gone" people would have been tearful, due to the song's lyrics and tone indicating a goodbye (which audiences would be saying goodbye to the stars who had passed away). 

It should be noted, the Grammys reversed their position on Maurice White, as articles reveal a musical tribute to him was added and he was awarded a posthumous lifetime achievement award. However, no musical tribute was added for Cole and they really could have shaved some of GaGa's time to do so.

Natalie Cole's family 'outraged' over Grammy snub 

 

Wednesday 17 February 2016 04.20 EST Last modified on Wednesday 17 February 2016 04.24 EST - Natalie Cole’s family have shared their disappointment following the “disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof” for the late singer at the Grammy awards this week. While Cole, who died on 31 December, was acknowledged during a short “in memoriam” montage to artists who died in the previous year, members of her family have said she deserved a longer homage. 

Cole’s sisters Timolin and Casey, told ET Online: “Words cannot express the outrage and utter disappointment at the disrespectful tribute, or lack thereof, to a legendary artist such as our sister.” “Here is a woman who has been in the business for four decades, had 21 Grammy nominations and won nine Grammys,” the singer’s son, Robert Adam Yancy, said. “She deserves more than [to be a part of] a minute-and-a-half tribute.” Yancy called the Grammy’s brief tribute “shameless”, in light of individual performances during the ceremony that were dedicated to David Bowie, the Eagles’ Glenn Frey and BB King...

Mick Jagger’s Girlfriend Made The Wrong Choice Killing Herself Over Business And Cult Troubles

Mick Jagger and L'Wren Scott

Mick Jagger’s girlfriend, L‘Wren Scott, who became involved in Kabbalah with him, killed herself recently over business and personal problems that she deemed too much to handle. Scott’s business was deeply in debt and she refused to ask Jagger for financial help. Due to the emotional and mental difficulties that beset her in the industry, she regrettably committed suicide. However, suicide is never the answer.

Scott should have cut ties with the sick Kabbalah Center. She should have filed for bankruptcy regarding her business, utilizing the law to make a fresh start. She was a pretty, smart lady who had a lot of life left in her and it is sad that she opted to take her own life. Many people are struggling with business and career problems in this tough financial climate. However, you cannot make your business or your career your entire life to the point it consumes you and you see no way out when things get tough. Giving up is not the answer. 

Mick Jagger and L'Wren Scott

I’ve learned in life to let go of things causing stress and distress. Nothing is worth that. There’s always an answer in business. If something doesn’t work, it’s not the end of the world. Go back to the drawing board and start again or come up with something else. So many businesses have experienced difficulties. However, you learn from the problems and build better and stronger than before. You don’t give up. Make the system work for you and rise again.

Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez Keep Breaking Up Over His Cheating

Pop singer Justin Bieber, 18, keeps breaking up and reuniting with girlfriend, Selena Gomez, 20 and as of this month, TMZ has ramped up their efforts at following them around documenting it. Bieber's cheating the Judiciary Report was the first to break, has caused friction in the 2-year-old relationship.

Justin Bieber and Barbara Palvin

 

Gomez and Bieber are both young and should be careful of committing to each other if they are not sure of their relationship. In the Judiciary Report's humble estimation, they really don't seem right for each other. However, their handlers deem them a mini power couple and are more concerned with appearances and sales.

Another thing, I know I'm not the only one that notices Bieber looks like the Victoria Secret model he has fallen in love with, Barbara Palvin, 19, which could be apart of his attraction to her (that and the lingerie model thing). Many years ago, singer Mick Jagger fell in love with the woman he went on to marry, Bianca Jagger, with many noting she looks just like him.

Barbara Palvin

Gomez and Palvin do not like each other, as they both have feelings for Bieber. Palvin can deny it all she wants because some of Bieber's fans came after her on Twitter, but one doesn't go on a date with a man unless one has a romantic attraction to the person or seeks to gain something from the individual (fame, money, favors ect). 

Barbara Palvin

Bieber is her type, as her increasingly worried looking boyfriend, Kristof Somfai, looks a lot like the singer. Furthermore, how would you feel if your girlfriend went out with another man, especially a famous one, with the paparazzi splashing the photos all over the place.   

Hollywood Is Hush About Angelina Jolie Tell-All Book

The Hollywood Reporter, published an article stating, Hollywood is staying away from the unauthorized tell-all biography on their number one home wrecker, actress, Angelina Jolie, much like they did with the Kitty Kelly "Oprah" book.

They flatter themselves that Hollywood's silence actually made a difference in suppressing the "Oprah" tell-all bio. It did not work. Many blogs reported on the book, which essentially guarantees all of Jolie's secrets in the Andrew Morton tell-all, will receive the same treatment and spread all over the blogosphere that is read by many millions around the world.

"Angelina" book by Andrew Morton

The Judiciary Report will continue to publish articles on the incendiary book, already having covered pre-release tidbits, such as Jolie being a full-on harlot that slept with her mother's boyfriend as an underage teen, at 16-years of age. She should hope daughter, Shiloh, who is the spitting image of her, does not grow up to return the favor, betraying her the same.

Morton states, the twice married, bisexual, Jolie, has been in a string of sexual relationships with celebrities, such as Leonardo Dicaprio, Mick Jagger, Ralph Fiennes, Colin Farrell and of course, Brad Pitt. And that's just the men...

Side Bar: Don't you just love the way Hollywood respects the Constitution, honoring the Amendments, by trying to silence and suppress free speech, free thought and individuals' property rights (sarcasm).
