grammys raves and pans

any comments on the grammys?

lincoln park? huh? yuk

yay! good to see sly, but he didnt look to good... although i did like his gold lame (not lame, as in bogus, but lame with an accent on the e) suit and huge mohawk, pretty styling...

that all star jam was just plain weird at times, dig randy jackson on the bass, hehe he's not only a judge...

oh yea, and was it just me, or was that bruce springsteen doing his best bob dylan impression?

I missed the whole show (Lost and Invasion were on!) but the bits I saw were interesting. U2 and Mary J sounded good. Yesterday being blended with a hip-hop vibe just didn't do it for me for me. There are plenty of other Beatle songs that would work better with a guy saying "Yeah" or "Uh Huh, Uh Huh" every 4-8 bars. I've been hoping to see Sly Stone break out of seclusion for years only to be disappointed by him mumbling some of the lyrics, hitting some chords on the keyboard and walking off before the song was done. He did look great though. The mohawk was great. Highlight of the highlights!

I only saw the sly song. That was so ridiculously akward. There were two mics set up (one for vocals and one for talkbox) and he kept on singing into the wrong one. After he walked of the stage everybody just wanted it to end but the band just kept playing. Steven Tyler looked pissed. I don't blame him because every person on that stage looked like an idiot.

I'm betting if Sly doesn't go back into seclusion he is headed to the reality TV circuit. Any takers?

yea, steve tyler looked both annoyed AND annoying, but he pulled it off well, was it just me? or did joe look a little tipsy? hmmm... he was kinda wobbly on his feet.

yea, what a non-event. any "institution" that awards kelly clarkson or a sub-par U2 record (among many other crap-tastic artists) deserves to be forgotten about. on my drive to work today i heard an exerpt of paul mccartney with jay-z doing a colaboration of sorts on yesterday. jay-z did his best "diddy" impression by saying "uh-hunh, yea, uh-hunh, uh-hunh" over a crazy back beat while "sir paul" played and sang along like a good little puppet.

The grammies are slowly going the way of network television, though if you have worked on a winning project you pretty much just added 2-3 zeros on yer paycheck just a nomination means no more mcdonalds during the day, but by no way is even a correct rep of the music most people enjoy.....wait critics would.....er i mean art school kids yeah thats is those guys and jerks like me

I can definately see Sly hitting up the Reality TV 3-ring. I was flipping through the channels and they had the grammy's highlights on Sports Center and the part I caught was them making fun of Sly looking like "an eel" haha. i laughed out loud...he kinda did look like he should have been in the movie Demolition Man.
