Maybe ill just be rambling to myself in this thread, but feel free to post what you love and hate while watching
So far we have a U2 song Ive never heard before that sucked a big one
GO MMJ!!!! :D
I'll ramble with ya, Capn. I was thinking of starting this thread.
This show is just going to remind me how little I know about "popular" music. I hope the Rock stops talking soon...
The Reverend!
That's a nice surprise!
Yeah...sadly, Im familiar with a lot of it, but cant believe how much popular music sucks these days.
Jennifer Hudson pretty much beat AL Green for Best R&B album since half her family died.
At least we have Al singing Lets Stay Together...but WTF did they have to include Timberlake?!??

Oh ya. I'm looking for to Diamond, for sure.
That Coldplay intro was some damn fine bait and switch. I ran to the television thinking it would be Radiohead.
This is what passes as "country" these days?
Whats with Coldplay ripping off the Beatles Sgt. Pepper's area colorful uniforms?? Then they go to play that song where they ripped the melody off of Joe Satriani.
Hacks.
QuoteThis is what passes as "country" these days?
Yep. This
is country. I must admit its kind of catchy though. I like it more than that U2 song actually :putsbagoverhead:
On another note, Carrie Underwood is looking much better than Jessica Simpson these days :-*
When Warren Zevon heard Kid Rock stole the music from Werewolves of London for his Alabama song, he rolled in his grave 7 times.
Kid Rock's gone a long way since I listened to him during the Devil Without A Cause days ::)
That's who did that god awful rip off of Warren's song? ugh, fucking ugh. I heard it one day abot a week ago and my ears started bleeding. Kid Rock is just awful.
lets so far I've hated almost everything i saw (and that's not much) and i especially don't like that coldplay finally gone pop
Complaining about the Grammys is pretty silly...it's the Grammys for goodness sake! ;D

I've always liked Chris Martin (even though I'm not a Coldplay fan).
"We're more of a limestone kind of rock." ;D ;D ;D
I wanted anybody but Coldplay to win best rock album >:(
HTF is that rock in the first place??!
Who knew the Grammys bought the Arrested Development sets?

What fascinates me about him is how his music went from completely better than any other mainstream hip hop to complete shit

Great movie. This is actually my older brother's favorite movie, so he's a little over the top on this movie, but it is very enjoyable. It's a rare movie about relationships between the sexes that is actually targeted towards men.

My wife got to see that same basic performance from just a few feet away when she got Saturday Night Live tickets.
Just so you all know, that's my child MIA's carrying.

That ladybug clothes ensemble shes wearing right now is hilarious ;D
That song of hers is damn catchy. Never knew who sang it, just that it was on the Pineapple Express preview
In other news, Paul's new piece is smoking hot. I hear this one actually has money too. Paul's a pimp.

It's now obvious Plant and Krauss will win best record.
QuoteIt's now obvious Plant and Krauss will win best record.
I think you mean best album
In grammy speak, best record means best song, despite their being a category for each :-?
I think I missed the bus that took people to Radiohead brilliance land.
Theyre good, but...
Was John Lee Hooker the guy next to BB King for that Bo Diddley song?
And too bad Mayer doesnt make more music like his live John Mayer Trio album...dude can rip it up
Of course goddamn Lil Wayne wins best rap album
Was really hoping Lupe Fiasco or Nas pulled that one off.

Buddy Guy

it's from a David Sedaris short story. I couldn't fit the whole line in there without cramming them all together.
The day I allow that bald headed bastard to smack me with a bag full of frozen chicken wings is the day I die.

I'm reading Me Talk Pretty One Day. I really enjoy David Sedaris. I know this belongs in the "books we read" thread, but there it is. :)
I enjoyed the Reverend Al. Looking forward seeing him Bonnaroo!
That's about all I have to say about the Grammys. Oh, also, Zooey Deschanel's dress was weird. Wish she'd hiked the girls up a bit.

It looks like the princess-attempt dresses I used to make out of my bedding.
MMJ looked so incredibly dashing. I think Jim stole my heart again. Andrew, you're no longer in the one slot! :P
I don't know WTF was going on with Jo. the bros--Stevie Wonder, Al Green--Justin Timberlake pairing.....oh, and Miley Cyrus AND Taylor Swift? Just when I didn't think the grammy's couldn't shitty it up any worse.
And Beautiful Girls was a cute movie. The Timothy Hutton/Natalie Portman thing was cute, despite how dirty it would be if it wasn't a movie.

You gotta admit most of the other performance besides those were pretty good though. I think it had been a few years since I actually watched them, but they had more good stuff than I expected.
Yeah, I really enjoyed the other performances but those ones took points off. Loved the Bo Diddley tribute, Adele, Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, Radiohead, MIA, Smokey Robinson, Paul, Neil Diamond performances.
Anyone else think Thom Yorke looks like Yoda?
I found the night a mixed-bag performances wise. U2 were actually good, even Bono. Coldplay were ok too. Radiohead were interesting. John Mayer and Keith Urban had no business being even near a stage let along sharing it with BB and Buddy. Some of the rap stuff was over-the-top and pretty awful and the Jonas Brothers proved that they are pure bubblegum chewers since they can't handle singing songs with substance; and their collaboration must be an all-time career low point for Stevie Wonder.

Nothing to say about Kid Rock or the Miley Cyrus duet?
Those performances made me throw up in my mouth and reminded me of why I never watch the Grammy's. I'd rather not know about the crap that the majority of Americans listen to every day.
I usually don't watch these types of shows, but then I feel out of the loop so I decided to tune in and check it out. It just confirmed what I already knew...I can't stand a majority of these people. I feel like such a turd/music snob sometimes, but I really can't deal. Of the new performers, I like adele...classy gal. Radiohead was cool and I do like that coldplay song, but I'm not totally sold on them. I was happy that these grammy people actually know bands like mmj and kings of leon exist.
