Sad Feist Must Now Sing For You

Indie Canadian singer Leslie Feist got all dressed up for the Grammys, then got shut out 0-4 for Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal, Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Short Form Music Video. Depressing enough. But then she had to get up and perform for all the ungrateful LA schlubs who voted against her, and she just wasn't in to it. Can you blame her? Entertainment Weekly wrote, "Feist seems kind of freaked out... She's going for minimal eye contact." One of her fellow Canadians wrote, "maybe she's just isn't ready for that 'major global spotlight." Decide for yourself after the jump.

It's difficult to imagine the circumstances under which someone would actually click through to the multimedia segments of the Times website, but in a hard-up moment we put our peepers to "All the Fixings," a.k.a. the 'T' style magazine's highly speedy, behind-the-scenes look at a recent cover photo shoot.
