Wow.. Smokey Robinson , then Lionel Rotchie , then ??????? followed by Christina Aguilera doing a very soulful rendition of James' Browns "It's a mans mans world"....
So who the heck is ???? and why was he there....
Another reason the music industry leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Dude didn't deserve a place near that stage judged on his performance.
-
not following the who is ???
but been surfing back and forth, hoping to catch the police thing, but probably missed it while watching king of the hill and family guy and home makeover with the marine family.
hick chicks with d**** won the grammy? lolololololol pathetic.
other than a few of the country artists, and tony bennet / stevie wonder, I don't think I knew a single artist or song they did in the bits I caught.
oh yeah... HAHAHAHA WAFFLE is watching the grammys and listening to the R&B music. :D you worried who will win "best female rap vocals" or whatever? you're a chick aren't you :p
-
The Police opened the show with...Roxanne. I'm a big fan of The Police but even that bored me to tears (haha Driven To Tears!).
So far Mary J. Blige and the Dixie Chicks have 2 awards each. Not real surprising.
-
lol - Ludicrous looks like Martin Lawrence with his new hair-doo....
-
Have no idea what he looked like with the old 'do.
-
Yep - Waffle - not sure who you are referring to -
Anyways - I watched the opening with the Police and a bit of John Mayer tripping over his oversized tongue (stick your tongue out, hold it, and try to sing) same difference.
The grammy's and it's on air importance have become an imalgum of mediocre artists blended with a splash of talented ones. The more important grammy's that I look for are never aired.

I have no idea who he is honestly. I think I have heard the name before, and have heard of the mary chick, and the beonce chick, but even hearing 5 minutes of their singing I long for cats in heat to invade my apartment.
yeah black sheep. the grammys died when a flute playing homo won the best hard rock grammy
-
If the Chicks insult the US a few more times, they might get a Nobel prize as well
-
'nother thing.... ever since Will Ferrel has had a career - I can't watch the red hot chili peppers without laughing....the drummer Chad looks just like Will Ferrel. :rofl
-
Al Gore????? WTF???
Yeah, there's no agenda in hollywierd.
-

They've blown chunks since BloodSexSugarMagik, but it's taken folks this long to realize it.

Ahh you saw that on the MSN home page too? :) Think that's where I saw it.
Anyways, I'm all about some Jethro Tull, a few songs of thiers at least, but that was absurd given the other nominations.

The Grammys have been a joke for about 20 years. This year was no exception. The Chixie Dix were given token awards. None of the songs ever broke the Top 20 and they had to cancel several of the dates on the tour because of poor ticket sales. This was an ego stroking ceremony and nothing more.

Ya know, Will has some brothers out there, most notably, President Bush, and Ben Rothlesburger among others. I think its because all their eyeballs rub together.

That was the moment for me too... Hard Rock / Metal category (1988)
All of the awards grammy, oscar, etc have become so political they make talent pointless...
It has been that way for awhile... I mean... Cary Grant never won a competative oscar!
-
Whos grammy r we talking about? My Grammy died about 6 yrs ago.

I was not aware about the politics behind the song "Not ready to be nice" when heard it first time; infact, as a european, I just knew the name of the band, nothing about their music. Anyway, it's a great song regardless what ever there is behind the lyrics.

award shows = platform for hollywierd politics back patting
-
lets not forget the 2 presidents, Carter and Clinton, as well as two presidential candidates, Obama and Clinton who have won grammys for spoken word.
Well, at least even I cant see Bush winning one of those! :rofl
-
"Taking the Long Way" is a pretty good album. Just pretend it isn't by the Chicks when you listen to it and you will see.
Justin Timberlake's performance was pretty good, until the end when he started singing to that camera.
I thought the John Mayer/Corinne Bailey Rae/John Legend set was really good. Although I agree that John Mayer is painful to watch live. It's like his jaw is unhinged.
Shakira's performance was weak. Gnarles Barkley was so-so. Mary J. Blige was good, and I hope that all young women take notice of her tattooed arms. That's what tattoos look like when you turn 40.
I turned off the Grammys about the 4th time they continued to push people to call in and vote for which of the 3 singers would sing a duet with Justin Timberlake. Who gives a crap. They spent too much time trying to be American Idol.
-
That had to have been a kick in da nads when Metallica broke ground by playing the grammys and then the beatdown by a band that only had one hit and that was in the 70s.
Is it true slayer finally won a grammy? I didnt watch it.

You know the Dixie Chicks are in trouble when they count BitTorrent downloads as record sales :lol

It's a reference to the crapstorm they jumped into a couple years ago--a country music act (demographics: largely republican, largely southern, largely patriotic) that insulted their home state, (Texas) their country, and the president, while overseas. Just insulting Texas is enough to ruin a country music act--now country stations wont play them, many of their tour dates inside the US are canceled due to poor ticket sales---they having to market their country-sound out of LA now. Grammys threw them a bone, but their future is most definitely not set in stone
-
Chris Brown was the other artist with Lionel Richie and Smoky Robinson. He did not deserve to follow up them, that was a terrible performance if you''re gonna be a singer/dancer you should be able to do both while performing, not one on stage and the other in a studio. Guess it doesnt matter to 16 yr old girls though.
Also, RHCP was hyped throughout the whole show I was expecting a damn good performance and they ended up performing one of their mellowest songs with no energy. Guess they're getting a bit too old to do anything crazy anymore.
-
Well, we TIVO'd it and I just fast forwarded 90% of the show, but I have to say Christina Aguilera was incredibley, jaw droppingly, excellent. I don't think I could name 1 hit of hers, but she did JB proud.
The rest of the show pretty much blew. I did notice Smokey Robinson had eye implants or something... he looked scary.
-
Dixie Chicks album was remarkable, particularly the engineering. The tour was done well too (16th row, Chicago).
Glad to see them rise above the Taliban book burning crowd.
-
Its a pretty sad state of affairs when you have to sit through the entire show to realize that all the hard rock and metal grammies were given out off the air. Personally, I was hoping to see how they were going to treat "Crazy B****" while listing the nominees.
Maybe this is how Rap fans felt during the hair band era...

Smash, I'm sure anyone that's been around here will tell you I'm definitely one of Bush's fanbois nor am I part of the book burning crowd. I am a Texan and I am a country music fan. BUT, this award was all about politics, and had nothing to do with performance. The DC's have burned the bridge with country music and it's fans. Taking a "country" award and laughing about it just shows how shallow and hypocritical the DC's are. It was a spit in the face and they will never play on those radios again. Too bad they had to cancel over 1/3 of their tour because of poor ticket sales. I'm glad you had 16th row tickets instead of the Row 45 Upper Balcony seats you would have bought if the short, fat one could keep her piehole shut.

I have much less respect now for the grammys then ever before since the Dixie Cl*ts winning.

I remember seeing an interview with Lars Ulrich (been years ago) and they asked him what influenced Metallica most when they were growing up, his answer was Jethro Tull. So back off the "flute playing homo"...Ian Anderson is a freakin genius IMO. Anyone who can infuse the flute with true Rock and Roll gets my attention.

Why not? Its funny. The CM market treated them like crap, and displayed some fairly disgustiing behaviour.
The album is undeniably country, irregardless of what anyone, including the Chicks, says. The mix is really good, and the song writing was excellent. I heard the album around the release time and knew there was a chance for at least a nomination.
They may never play on CM radio again, who knows? But in the end the decision to stick by what you believe and not take any crap vs bowing down for the money is admirable.
But I understand your opinion. I have little desire to listen to Toby or Reba. So there is certainly something to be said for being very careful to think before offering up a political viewpoint.
A lesson I sometimes find myself forgetting :)

Yet they denied they were country and all those that bought millions of there albums were not their fans anyway. But that didnt stop them from taking their bull**** token award.

"the grammys died when a flute playing homo won the best hard rock grammy "
That did it for me too, and was the first and only time i ever watched them.
