  1. So far tonight the highlight for me has been Stephen and Beyonce winning



  2. Colbert's speech was gold. "Well, first of all, it was a Christmas album, so I'd like to thank Jesus Christ...for having such an AWESOME birthday!"

    Maybe that's why they paired her with Stevie Nicks, so that viewers could distract themselves from the pain...

    ...by experiencing a different kind of pain?

    I'm at a loss. I actually really enjoyed Lady Gaga and Elton John opening the show though. IMO, the Grammy's have gotten their opening dead-on for two years in a row now


    True, both have been odd (bono with makeup, and well, lady gaga, nuff said) but they've been good. I'm disappointed U2 didn't perform this year. Anyone know why? It would've been cool to see them do the remixed crazy tonight at the grammys.

    It could be because they performed last year, and then their album didn't do incredibly well...Perhaps the Grammy's dont want to look "washed up", by using an artist two years in a row that never ended up taking over the world again like they did in 01...though they HAVE had a hell of a year, touring wise. (But they were still nominated...so I guess it's a mystery)

    And yeah, the remix would have been pretty sweet.


  6. If you can think of a better word than hard, that's how I'd apply it to that piece of steaming dog-shit. Casual listeners can listen to that contrived crap (and how they do I don't know), but they won't take a chance on songs which are actually better than their own last 12 years of work.






    Like the new Green Day album, never.

    I wouldn't worry about the Grammy Awards anyway. Like the RRHoF, it's a wank-fest for overpaid record execs (KISS in before Alice Cooper???). You can't tell me something as boring and repetitive as the new Green Day shit could win over the new U2 album, which actually for the first time in 12 years sounds great - and no, it's not because I'm a U2 fan. It's because I can appreciate songs which actually have substance and won't be forgotten by next year.
  7. I actually watched none of it this year. Who cares....
  8. did anyone really think they would any? I didn't...as much as i love/hate the album

    It really was. Such a funny guy

    That's what happens when you can't use autotune live

    And she won best album!
    Well I suppose when she does actually write her own songs, she does come up with such brilliantly original lines as:
    "you'll be the prince and I'll be the princess..."


    All the sophistication of Bob Dylan right there....

    I have to say, those are probably better lyrics than half of the other crappy songs that won awards (even though that's not saying much).

    For those who actually wanted a real band to win something, AC/DC won for War Machine from Black Ice. I do like that song, but not the whole album.

    Oh yes, I forgot Beyonce!


    Baby, I can feel your halo, halo!


    How do you feel a halo? Does she even know what a halo is?

    Real music is on its deadbed, it's all downhill from here

    I think I now want U2 to go down the Radiohead fuck what everyone thinks route and just make the music that they want to make and not pander to popular taste and the whims of the music industry.

    I want them to 'lose it' again and make another Pop. Bring back some of the insanity - hell bring back all of it
