One of the best things about watching the Grammy Awards was the virtual peanut gallery of voices created by Twitter, with your entire feed gushing about Lady Gaga, crying for Justin Bieber, tipping their hat (or throwing it on the ground) to Arcade Fire and, all at once, asking, "Who is Esperanza Spalding!?"
But the Grammy Award for Best Live Tweeting of the Grammys definitely should have gone to a man who was conspicuously absent from last night's proceedings: Kanye West. Bundled up somewhere with a remote control and mad zings, Kanye expressed a wide array of emotions, as well as a couple of totally hilarious observations, throughout the evening. Let's take a look at five of his best tweeted bon mots.
1.) Upon Train winning for Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group: "I didn't know Howie Mandel was a part of Train"
2.) This could only be about Justin Bieber's performance: "NINJAS...YESSSSS!!!!!!!"
3.) Respect for the aged: "Mick Jagger is crazy fresh!!! #OGSWAG"
4.) John Mayer, you got zinged: "I didn't know Johnny Depp played guitar"
5.) "Damn... I can't find the words to explain how I feel about the best new artist award... Don't wanna say the wrong thing" No, BY ALL MEANS, say the wrong thing!!!!
