It’s one of my favorite times of the year (minus the cold, because I think I’m officially ready for spring) – award season. It seems like every Sunday, I’m curled up ready for another award show and last week was my favorite, the Grammys. I spend a decent amount of money each year to attend concerts coming to Cleveland and this was just a preview of some of the shows that I wanted to see.

One of the best parts – watching the arrivals and seeing the fantastic (and not so fantastic) fashion coming down the red carpet. My favorites this year:

Carly Rae – she’s not just the Call Me Maybe singer anymore (okay she is, but this dress was fantastic. Love the sparkle!)

Carrie Underwood – always one of my favorites.

Rihanna – the hair, the makeup and the dress were all flawless.

Justin Timberlake – never a disappointment and just looked like perfection for his comeback.

Adam Levine – another one that rarely disappoints me. Gorg!

And my favorite performances:

Maroon 5 and Alicia Keys – a great match-up of two of my favorite songs

Kelly Clarkson – hands down, one of the very best voices around.

Rihanna – Stay is one of my current favorite songs and the performance didn’t disappoint.

Justin Timberlake – is there any question why this was my favorite? That man….

Who were your favorites?

Justin Timberlake – Need I say anything about this one?
