And while I am sure I was one of the few viewers completely disinterested in what Amy Winehouse was going to say or do on the show, I did enjoy the broadcast. Here are my top three favorite moments from last night&#8217;s award show.<br \/>\n<strong>3. Favorite Red Carpet Moment:<\/strong>  Call me a sap if you want to, but I really thought it was sweet when tween queen Miley Cyrus&#8211;when being harassed about who she was dating&#8211;said &#8220;I only need three men in my life : Jesus, my brother, and my dad.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>2. Favorite Off-Air Moment: <\/strong> I have been a fan of Ashley Cleveland&#8217;s for almost two decades now, and I couldn&#8217;t be more thrilled that she won another Grammy for one of my favorite recordings of last year &#8220;Before the Daylight&#8217;s Shot.: (Come to think of it, too bad Amy Winehouse wasn&#8217;t at the Grammys. She could have spoken to Ashley and learned a thing or two from Ashley&#8217;s own life experiences.)<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\n<strong>1 Best one-liner: <\/strong>After Kanye West gave a somewhat classless acceptance speech earlier in the evening, I chortled when Vince Gill&#8211;after receiving his award from Ringo Starr&#8211;quipped to Kanye, &#8220;I just had a Grammy given to me by a Beatle. Have you had that  happen to you yet, Kanye?&#8221; (You could hear the whispers of &#8220;Oh no he didn&#8217;t!&#8221; reverberate through the crowd.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t usual watch the Grammys but something about this year&#8217;s nominees and the promise of some legendary match-ups on stage (Aretha and BeBe Winans, Beyonce and Tina Turner) made me want to tune in.
