Was happy to see the gal from La Vie En Rose win, though... just watched that movie Saturday and it's a good one. As for the music performed last night... ugh. Just ugh. Obviously they are going to be trying to make up for giving Three Six Mafia that Oscar for a few years. They were drunk, you know... someone slipped 'em some Purp, then next thing you know someone called Juicy J has an Oscar... anyhoo...

Since you probably can't read the teeny-tiny print on the album cover, I'll tell you it's called Afro-Blue, it was her first record, and here she does a nice version of one of my favorite jams...
