Dental Assistant?? Never heard that.

I have to have some major dental work next week I'm SO not looking forward to. If the sedation pills they give me don't work than maybe I'll close my eyes and pretend it's only Stevie holding the suction tube. But that might not even help.

#3 Taylor Swift and Stevie Nicks duet, 2010

Taylor Swift is usually pitch-perfect live, but for some ridiculous reason, she was hitting bum notes from the get-go at the 2010 Grammys. The true horror commenced, though, when Stevie "forced smile" Nicks was brought out. Taylor hung onto her hand like a little girl terrified of losing her mom at the supermarket, before wailing over the top of an increasingly embarrassed-looking Nicks during "Rhiannon." The final indignity came when (then-61-year-old) Nicks sang back-up to Swift's "You Belong With Me" -- including the line "She wears short skirts, I wear sneakers, she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers," weakly pointing at the air for that last part, clearly trying to take the edge off a humiliating situation. Nicks looked like she wanted the ground to swallow her whole by the end the song. We kind of wanted it to, too. Whoever thought this one up should've been fired.

I blame the Grammy producers for not giving them enought time to rehearse the tunes.

Taylor was off all night. I don't think more rehearsal time would have made much of a difference.

This isn't the worst grammy moments, its the 5 most awkward, uncomfortable moments, which to me, makes a big difference.

I was so bummed that this performance did not go over that well. I was so happy for Stevie to be playing such a major event with millions watching. I just wanted her to show people she still had it in her.

^Well, aside from looking awkward, I didn't hear anyone say anything bad about Stevie after it. Taylor got all of the harsh words. If anything, mostly they said they felt sorry for Stevie for having to stand up there and do it.

Jenny Boyd/Fleetwood, yes:

That cover reminds me of the foreign single picture sleeve of Maybe Love Will Change Your Mind. Stevie is wearing a similar styled hat.

I have to say that I admire Taylor Swift's gumption in confronting her critics and pausing on the line about someone grumbling "that I can't sing" during her Grammy performance tonight. It turned Mean into a statement and I kind of applaud it, whether she can sing or not.
