    They sounded a lot better than Bob Dylan that's for sure.

    Anybody could have sounded better than Dylan tonight. Maybe even Bette Midler.

    Is Kris Kristofferson OK? He seemed drunk or not doing well.

    The good or bad thing about live performances is that you can tell who is truly talented and who isnt, those that arent really suck and those that are really shine.

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I was impressed for the first time in years, no hip-hop overload....'Babs' singing "Evergreen' was just over the top nice, she can still bring it on.....:biggrin:

    Maybe if Chrissie Hyde had come down outta the ceiling and Ann Wilson had come from stage left to join in, we woulda had a party :tongue:

    Was nice to see Will Smith and wife Jada cheering on their retirement fund singing w/the Beb :rolleyes:

    I have mixed feelings about Babs..... why was she there?

    She sang Evergreen.. from i believe a 1976-ish movie.. which no one under 35 has ever heard or cares about or understand. Her performance was great as usual.. just found her being there and doing that song was out in left field.

    Arcade Fire with album of the year? i haven't heard it.... so I can't say if the Grammy was deserved or not.. but I thought Katy Perry and Lady GaGa both had pretty strong albums too and was surprised it didn't go to a female performer.

    no one knows or cares how long ago it was, Don't make me slap you :biggrin:, Dylan sounded like ****, Mick needed a medic, at close to 70 she has the pitch like none other, just a tilt of her head off the mike and <shiver's>, but, that's just me....I dare any other diva's at the place to replicate that tone/performance!

    My girlfriend Teena Marie would've sent a message, had she lived to be there.

    Anyway, Bab's was there, she showed the girls's that you don't need a slab of beef on your head, or a pretty dress to know your way around a vocal.....

    I really enjoyed the whole show... I really like how the Grammy's have turned into a live music show with awards given out instead of just an awards show with a couple of ok performances.. I thought most of them tonight were really good. I was highly impressed with the opening RESPECT number, the Bruno Mars trio and the Mumford and Sons and the Avett brothers..

    I haven't been able to get into the Grammys for years. Last night was no exception. I've seen better talent in Las Vegas. We watched about the first 15 minutes, and changed the channel.

    Holy Crap!! The Arcade Fire snag Album of the Year. There just may be hope for the Grammys yet.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore
