While Twitter is on fire with praise for Nicki Minaj and Chris Brown and their respective performances at the Grammys 2012, Miranda Lambert seems to be the only celebrity bold enough to speak up against them.

Taking to the social networking website shortly after the awards show, Miranda held nothing back when it came to saying how she felt about what she'd just seen.

In short, Nicki and Chris were really bad because what they sang was not real music.

What was even worse though was that The Recording Academy had let Chris perform twice, thus glamorizing what he'd done to Rihanna just 3 years before, when he beat her to a pulp in a fit of rage.

“How dang long did they give Nicki Minaj to do whatever that was? Strange. And Chris Brown twice? I don't get it. He beat on a girl...” Miranda tweeted.

Later on, she added that the industry also had a responsibility in not supporting a singer who had caused such great offense in his personal life.

“Not cool that we act like that didn't happen. He needs to listen to Gunpowder and lead and be put back in his place. Not at the Grammys,” Miranda wrote, referring to her song, in which an abused woman shoots her abuser.

On the same occasion, the country crooner praised some of the acts of the evening that made a positive impression on her.

“Now...Bruno Mars...yes please! That rocked and also Adele...duh! And Jennifer Hudson! That's real music. kinda made up for all the suck,” she said.

“As for my tweets 'it's just one clowns opinion.' I love music and that's what it's all about,” Miranda added, in response to all those attacking her for speaking her mind on the Chris Brown issue.

As we also informed you just minutes ago, Twitter is awash with comments like “I'd let Chris Brown beat / punch me in the face,” from female fans who apparently consider it's more important to be able to do back flips on a stage than be a decent man at home.
