Now on to the show and its opener which consisted of Bruce Springsteen you ROCKED I actually enjoyed that… LL it was GREAT to see you hosting the Grammy’s you are always amazing and its like you are soooooo comfortable on the stage beyond just being an artist yourself… #Natural…and the prayer and speech you gave on behalf of the GREAT Whitney Houston was touching….

Bruno Mars was as Epic, classic and Timeless as ever… I loved the performance. Alicia Keys & Bonnie Raitt tribute to Etta James was beautiful… so classy and talented…. Umm back to Bruno Mars, I don’t know if it was just me or not but upon Adele winning the first Grammy of the night in a category for which he was nominated for it looked as if he was pouting… umm Bro.. don’t be a sore looser lol….

Chris Brown that performance SUCKED major ass and balls… that was sooo NOT Grammy worthy and you lip synched as if nobody would notice lol..like we know that you can dance.. how about sing something instead… you are an artist before you are a dancer so how about you put the 1,2 Step on the backburner and bust a note as oppose to a move..I was Underwhelmed tonight by him usually when I am Overwhelmed…. Jay-Z & Kanye picked up a Grammy for “Ottis” but wasn’t at the show…I wonder where the RocNation was at tonight…all I am saying is how do you be a prominent figure in music and then miss out on its biggest night ??? I mean I know that he and KING “B” as in Beyonce just had a baby but at the same time SO WHAT…. Let Mrs. Tina keep that baby and you all bring your uptight stuck up asses out to the show and show some gratitude by receiving your own awards #Sheesh…. Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson you kicked ass as well…I adore Kelly Clarkson and her vocal abilities. She is amazing!

Rihanna & ColdPlay…. Rihanna was Epic..both sets of artist were amazing…Rihanna had too many dancers on the stage and got briefly lost in the crowd but the performance was still great lol even though by the time she got to the duet with ColdPlay she was out of breathe lol. When The Beach Boys took the stage my father was rocking out, he absolutely enjoyed that and so did I… great job Boys! THEE Sir Paul McCartney took the stage and did amazing as well..very classic & classy…I remember when I saw Sir Paul McCartney & his gorgeous wife at the Beyoncé concert last Summer in NYC #Epic… Taylor Swift you were adorable as well as the performance you gave!…#GoodJob Song of the Year went to Adele and I was soooo happy for her…she is amazing in every aspect and even though she has sever pre-performance anxieties she still did well with receiving her awards as well as performing on a stage that big….LOVE HER…

Katy Perry you SUCKED…. That performance sucked and I am sure your 15minutes of PoP fame is slowly fading…. I’m just saying!

For the Jennifer Hudson tribute to Whitney Houston I will say that even though you sounded amazing I will still go on to say that I would call that ANYTHING other than a “tribute” that was a snippet…. And the crazy thing is that people were REALLY anticipating this part of the show to only be….let down….. The Grammy’s dropped the ball on this one…she should have done a collage of different Whitney tracks and even included other great female artist with the vocal range to pull it off…I must say that I was rather disappointed and so were MANY others….

Drake looked rather Dapper in his Tux..I think The Grammy’s be straight dissing Drake and they need to give this man a Grammy already #Sheesh…but Nicki Minaj was horrible…for a moment there I thought that I was watching the MTV VMA’s…. not The Grammy’s…. and the performance was titled “Death of Roman” which means that we as listeners and consumers don’t have to worry about that crazy ass, whacky ass cartoon swag she gives off and over do….**fingers crossed**…. At least lets hope so….. Oh, by the way..I love Drake tried to gas her up as he introduced her to the stage for her performance…that entire act she gave to me was an EPIC FAILURE…. Oh and Nicki umm Little Red Riding Hood just texted & said **in her Joan Rivers voice**…”BITCH STOLE MY LOOK”…..

Adele went on to win “Record of the Year” and “Album of the Year” which doesn’t come as a big surprise to ANYONE unless perhaps you’ve been living under a boulder for the past year…I was very happy for her, she is a great artist and her career in the industry appears to be very bright and big as it should…she is amazing… by the way…I love how modest she was..acting as if she wasn’t already cognizant to the fact that she would be receiving the highest praises and honors at this years ceremony lol..#GoodWork…..

Best Rap Album wasn’t presented on the televised version to the ceremony but Kanye took the honors over Lil Wayne’s “The Carter 4” which blows my mind because even though Kanye’s album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was pretty good I don’t think that it outshined Lil Waynes “The Carter 4”..I personally enjoyed the artistry of Lil Wayne more than Kanye……

Well that reaches the end of the night for us in a nutshell…and its been a true pleasure being amongst the company of such people those of you who are not friends with me via Facebook should add me under the search name of “Tyler Grandiose Thompson”…. Feel free to post your thoughts on the show this year just as I have…..on a scale of 1 to 10 I give this years show a 7 ½ due to the fact that there were a few hits and misses this year and a few things that could have been far better than what they were…. Lets all stay in touch and continue to support the artistry of Ace who’s an phenomenal musician/artist and one day he will be there on the Grammy stage rocking out as well..I already see it in his future… Again you guys don’t be a stranger…swing through as I will frequently post material for you guys to enjoy….thanks for reading, sharing and caring….

With the warmest regards,

Tyler Thompson

I was asked by Ace himself to come and contribute to his personal website by covering many topics of interest from (of course) music, film, politics, TV and sports so here I am both honored and flattered to be here getting things started… On my personal Facebook page I usually do a recap/review of my favorite award shows where we (my readers & I) cover the highlights from the night and laugh and cut up and have a good time reflecting upon the night but due to the unfortunate
& Heartbreaking events that have taken place in the music world in the past 24hrs regarding the passing of the late, great incomparable Whitney Elizabeth Houston it actually puts a damper on what I had originally anticipated being a very fun night… just a small personal reflection on Whitney…I first heard her music back in the late 80’s..my sister who is only 8 years younger than Whitney would always blast her music while doing chores around the house and that’s how I fell in love with the sweet sounds of the vocal powerhouse…I now (as well as my sister) own every album and film from the start of things and in my home and family she will be both missed and loved forever…her artistry will live on through us the fans and we will and shall keep her legacy alive and well and during this time of grief we should keep her family especially her daughter in our prayers and hearts…. I personally send her family my deepest condolences….

It’s about time isn’t it? Thing’s were looking rough for the birds going into last weeks matchup against the Washington redskins, but luckily for the first time in a month the Eagles came out with a W. A much needed W going into the week 7 bye. That being said we have no game to preview for this Sunday so we’re going to go through the good, the bad and the ugly of this Vick-tory. Since I’m an optimist at times we’ll save the best for last and start with the bad.
Despite coming out with a big win last Sunday there were some obvious holes that had me concerned on both the offense and defense. Starting with the offense, four trips into the red zone and only 2 touchdowns was good enough to beat the redskins, but if this team is going to come together and make a playoff run the red zone has to become more of a focus and priority Monday-Friday because it’s obvious calling QB draws, dives to Owen Schmidt and whatever the heck Ronnie Brown was thinking against San Francisco this team is lost and unprepared for red zone opportunities particularly inside the 5 yard line. Moving on through the offense, I know a lot of the load can fall onto Michael Vick at times, but he needs to make better decisions under pressure. Yes, he has very little time to make a move, but you have to learn from your mistakes. That turnover bug is still hanging around and one of the two came off of Michael Vick throwing directly at a rush and the ball was tipped. After throwing a pick that very same way against buffalo it was not too promising to see him doing it two weeks in a row especially after he had gotten away with two tipped balls earlier in the game that were fortunate enough to not get picked. Outside of that I can’t complain too much about the O-line who’s battling injury and adjusting to that pretty well. They’re still not giving Vick an ideal amount of time to throw, but some progress is certainly better than no progress I suppose.
So let’s cover the ugly. I’ve been giving a lot of flack to the coaching on this team and upon further review I’ve been absolutely right, except it only falls on one member of the coaching and I think you all pretty well know who that is. I know everyone wants to get on Jaun, but who put him in the position he’s in? When Jaun interviewed for the defensive coordinator position he had to pitch what his game plan was. If he’s pitching the wide nine to Andy Reid and the rest of the management and they feel that’s the best option it’s Andy, Joe Banner and Howie Roseman’s job to provide Jaun with the tools he needs to make the wide nine work which they did not do. That’s one, two is a point I mentioned earlier which was this team has looked lost and clearly unprepared in the red zone. From Ronnie Brown to fourth and short falling short more times than not that falls onto the coaches and the play calling because it’s not like this team can’t move the ball. They’ll go 60 yards on 5 plays with ease, but than can’t go the remaining 5 yards into the promise land on 4 plays? What’s that telling you? I don’t know if Andy Reid is trying to get fired, but I swear I’m waiting to see him dragging trophies behind his car George Constanza style through the Novacare Complex parking lot. 3 is very simple, by far the ugliest part of last weeks win was 20 points in the first half of the game and 0 in the second half. I can explain that just as simply as 1 sentence. The Eagles had 20 rushes in the first half of the game and just 8 in second and the majority of those 8 were on the final drive to kill the clock in hopes washington wouldn’t get an opportunity to tie the game at 20. So basically no rushes in the second half. When all you do is pass the ball you make it so simple for the opposing defense to contain your offense. Not mention you’re ringing the dinner bell above Michael Vick’s head! I see it, you all see it, the rest of the members of respective media sees it, what the heck Andy? You’re like Dr. Jeckle and Mr. Dumbass! Run the freaking ball! How is that not more obvious than ever after beating the redskins? Dominance in the first half, damn near gave the game away in second! Pay attention, would ya?!?!
Ahh finally it’s time for the good. Luckily those 20 first half rushes were enough to keep the offense balanced for the day and Mike Vick under 40 passes who is now 0-9-1 for his career when passing the ball over 40 times in 1 game. Shady McCoy was nothing short of exceptional as he’s been all season and is starting to assert himself as one of the elite running backs in the league. In my opinion, with the exception of Adrian Peterson there’s not a better RB in the NFC than LeSean McCoy. He’s certainly the best in the league at making people miss and creating something from nothing. Next we have the defense. It was like watching a completely different team, wasn’t it? Defense was superb and I wonder why. The defense finally leaned on their strengths. Kurt Coleman with 3 int’s, Nate Allen with another, blitzing to stop the run and forcing Washington to throw into the Eagles scary man coverage, at least one of the coaches finally got the message. Hopefully going into the Linc in week 8 the birds fearless leader will keep in mind the success that this team has ALWAYS had with a balanced attack because a win against the cowboys is about as important as any for the remainder of the season. And my final thoughts for today as always is wrapped up with the most exciting and real segment in sports journalism, my “Ed Lover C’Mon SON! of the week” I’m keeping this one short and sweet because I think this particular individual is going for most consecutive weeks of getting the “C’mon SON!”, Andy Reid you dumb, over baring, over paid, over weight, ego maniac! I know what you’re problem is, you don’t like me, you don’t like the media and you don’t our advice to win, right? Well guess what, you’re 2-4 and your only win is against team with a winning record has been with a balanced attack, you dope! So don’t listen to us Andy. You win when you do and lose when don’t. The choice is yours friend. So for the 5th week straight it my pleasure to say to you, C’Mon SON! RUN THE DAMN BALL and do yourself a favor when you see Shady McCoy run by you, run along side of him! Game time predictions for this Sunday, I guarantee the Eagles do not lose this week! Happy Bye Week Eagles fans!

Hanging out with Mr. Tattoo

Of course I agreed and went there early today. He got a few shots of my car out front of the tattoo parlor and a few shots of my tattoo. The commercial looks like its going to come out awesome and I wouldn’t expect anything less from him.

While I was there i ran into Dave Patten and David Ricks from south9entertainment. They have filmed videos for me in the past and are personal friends. Knowing the project is in their hands insured me its going to turn out great. I always seem to have a great time with them and today was no exception. Mr Tattoos is always a fun atmosphere.

On another note I spoke to my producer from Hot Hand Productions today and he told me he will be in town later this month to work on some more music and be here for my new video. Needless to say I am extremely excited to work on some more tracks, I never get tired of making new music.

Ace Angelo Special Edition WorCk Shirt Design

My producer just flew in this week and we have been working on some new amazing tracks to kick off the website. Also one of the songs was made personally for a friend of mine and one of the top bodybuilders in the country Josh Halladay. We did a great motivational song that is going to be the theme song for his upcoming movement WorCk (stay tuned for more info on the WorCk movement).

In addition to doing new music I have also ventured out into clothing. Working with Josh Halladay I was able to design an official Ace Angelo edition of his WorCk Clothing line. Its an awesome line and I cant wait to get the designs back and get the gear!!!!

Last but not least I know everyone hasn’t seen a video from me in a while, well guess what? That’s right we have 3 videos that are being shot in the next two months so you will have more than enough visuals on me for the time being.
