I personally know nothing about him, that was just on my Twitter timeline
But: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tricky
He's a really respected hipster artist I guess. He's worked with Bjork, Yoko Ono, etc
Was it a shady laugh? Because on it's own I don't think an initial laugh HAS to bad. Maybe he just enjoyed it and he's a goofy guy. I'm trying to give the benefit of the doubt.
I had the same thought....but I think it'd be too short for an actual award performance. And right before BTINH she said something like...this my new single off of my new album and I don't think that she'll go on with the 3rd single already . That'd be a ****ed up mess but I definitely want EOT to be the next one.
