I don’t know why people are surprised Rebecca Black was invited. She’s better than Paris Hilton and Snooki.

1. I’m amazed that Katy Perry was able to look elegant with blue hair. 2. Who the fuck let Rebecca Black into the Grammys? 3. I want that shirt Rick Ross is wearing. 4. Sasha Gradiva came to blow up some bitches!

Thank heavens there are some other dissenters. Taylor Swift looked great, Corinne Bailey Rae made me wince — and poor misunderstood Gaga.

Note to D’manti/whoever made that dress…feathers should not be placed so close to the crotch, it looks like pubes. And I think My Morning Jacket looks great!! Jim James looks so dapper haha!

List seems idiosyncratic. Seems the dress judgment is tied to the poster’s affection for the celebrity.

Sade is not bad at all. It’s a classic stretch outfit. She also has louboutins. She could very well go naked with those shoes on and be classy.

How is Katy Perry’s dress good, but Taylor Swift’s is bad…I think someone got a little mixed up making this list. Last time I checked, human sized smurfs aren’t good.

I think Cyndi Lauper would’ve looked better if she opted for pants instead of a skirt..
and Fergie looks pretty trashy.

The woman you’ve listed as Sade is actually named Jade. She was one of Tyra’s Top Model rejects.

I hate La Vida Boheme… There are better bands in Venezuela, they’re a bunch of hipsters throwing paint at 17 year olds.
And My Morning Jacket looks fine to me.
