We were watching the Grammy Awards last night and noticed something odd about Avril Lavigne’s performance. She opened her act by holding her jacket wide open toward the audience. The director, however, chose to show her back, so we couldn’t see what she was doing. During the performance, they carefully blurred her chest. You really had to pay attention to notice that something was wrong. (If you taped it, look at her necklace – the pendant appears and disappears.)
So anyway, strictly out of curiosity , what was on her shirt? Did it have some obscene word? Was it a political statement? Was it her boobs ???
So if it was nothing, what’s with the blurs? The photos do look blurred, and I haven’t seen the video but if you can see her pendant going in and out of the blurred area, what was it covering?
On the other hand, how would they even blur it? Isn’t that something that’s normally done to a videotape in post production? I can’t imagine the logistics in doing this to a live feed. -Even with a generous delay.
What could producers possibly have been worried about? Did they expect her to be wearing a shirt that said: Skateboarding is not a crime? How could anything an 18 year-old Canadian have something on her shirt that would be so subversive it would need to be censored? Didn’t Eminem have a shirt saying to “free” someone? And who was the name on Eminem’s shirt? The latest Mumia type cause that celebs are endorsing?
And how lame was the little crowd of people in front of the stage jumping around to create “atmosphere” during her performance?
This is interesting. Who would have thought that the producers would be worried about Avril’s clothing? I mean, of all the people to worry about, they pick Avril??
That’s just it…a punk 18 year old who would love to do something to grab a headline.
Of course, God forbid they say on TV what millions around the world are already saying…
They were put on ‘vigilante watch’ by the network. There were concerns all night about people using the TV cameras to make a plitical statement a la Richard Gere.
I am pretty sure she had some message inside her coat. When she took it off during her act it looked as if there was big white letters on the inside.
If you also noiticed they censored M&M’s dirty word in his rap. However earlier during 60 Minutes they allowed LA Police Commisioner Bratton to say Bulls**t without censor.
“Free Yayo”, referring to Tony Yayo: a member of a group called G Unit, that he recently signed to his record label, and who I think were arrested around Christmas for leaving their car double-parked outside a club, with one guns clearly visible on the floor and another in the trunk.
I’m not sure, but I presume he’s still in jail.
Not only that, but ‘yayo’ is slang for marijuana. So if that’s not censored, I don’t know what message Avril could have had written on her chest/coat…
