What the Grammys did to Cher is criminal – Latest News
Elder abuse took the stage at the Grammy Awards on Sunday.
Superstar Cher, 79, appeared dazed and confused as she appeared on stage to settle for a lifetime achievement award. It was an odd, truncated second during which host Trevor Noah thrust the award into her hand. No speech, no video homage. Cher gave a transient thanks.
She was then meant to give out Record of the Year, however, baffled about what to do, she awkwardly wandered off the stage.
She was lured back by Noah, who talked her into studying the winner — Kendrick Lamar and SZA for the music “Luthor.” Cher mentioned the award was for “Luther Gandross.”
Now, the music is named after singer Luther Vandross, and samples his music “If the World Were Mine.” But Vandross died in 2005.
Lamar was magnanimous after having his massive second tarnished a bit by Cher, who complained that the TelePrompter didn’t present data that may have saved her.
“This is what music is all about: Luther Vandross,” Lamar mentioned. He turned to Cher and chuckled — I feel in sympathy. But the viewers members additionally laughed, and it appeared like Cher was being ridiculed, stay on national tv.
I blame the producers for placing the legendary singer and actress on this place in the first place. Why do you will have somebody come on stage to obtain an award, give a speech — after which keep to give an award to another person? No marvel she was confused.
The “Luthor” gaffe may occur to anybody, however possibly they might have briefed her higher about the nominees?
If Cher agrees to seem on the Grammys ever again — a massive “if” — I counsel they honor her correctly. No singing in your supper. Some correct stage direction. Heck, Kendrick may give her the award.
Shame on the Grammys for this disgraceful show.
