There were so many great performances at last night's Grammys it was a bit difficult to pick my favorite performance. Jennifer Hudson brought goosebumps to my arms and M.I.A rockin' out on her due date was beyond cool. And as always the Grammys were sprinkled with odd musical pairings like Adele and Sugarland. But for me there was one performance that made me sit up and take notice: Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift. Now, before you close your browser or roll your eyes, hear me out.

I am not a huge fan of either of these girls, although I do think they have some talent in their own right. But their bare bones performance of Swift's song Fifteen made me realize for the first time that Miley Cyrus can sing! I mean, the girl has some chops. I was actually floored by her vocal performance and the grace with which she sang. I think if she was that honest with her singing all the time, she would have a much wider appeal. It was almost like we were getting a glimpse of the artist she would be in a few years once she grew up and got out from under Disney's thumb. It was the first time I had seen her perform where she didn't come off as trying too hard, and I'm not embarrassed to say that I enjoyed it. After all, good music is good music.
