Are you freaking kidding me?
Seriously?
If you are not familiar with "Pants on the Ground." Check out this video:
I appreciate the sentiment. Sagging pants annoy the crap out of me. Plus, I'm a sucker for these unknown, untalented person rises from obscurity to pop culture phenomena stories. Wonderful, more power to them. And I'm not hating, Larry Platt's living a dream and he seems like a genuinely nice guy.
But the Grammys? Are you freaking kidding me?
I stopped watching the Grammys years ago. The Grammys is supposed to be the most prestigious and time honored award for musical talent. When it became obvious to me that the selection process and winners were dictated more on what was popular on the charts than true talent, I just couldn't do it anymore. This choice of performers only goes to validate my decision.
One might argue that he's performing at a pre-show and it's not like he's RECEIVING an award. True, but the prestige factor of the award diminishes when novelty songs like this with no musical skill are there when great bands and artists die in open mics, nightclubs and churches in obscurity.
