I find the Grammy's to be quite distasteful tonight. The worst part so far is Kanye West. It's really disturbing that he truly believes that intelligent people in the world give a thought about him. One of the low-class, lacking class, grandiose....it could go on and on. Wow....this is THE REASON for any doubters!!!!

you might want to turn it off when Amy Winehouse makes an appearance.

You might guess that I think the Grammys are awesome tonight. Kanye did "act a fool" when he accepted his Grammy, but I loved his performance. Alicia Keys was awesome. Loved the "Love" performance with Cirque de Soleil. Liked the Tina and Beyonc? performance. "Let It Be" brought tears to my eyes.

Even though I like the Winehouse song, it getting a "best song" award is "Ludacris" in my opinion.

Different strokes for different folks. My husband despises hip-hop, but he loves Alicia Keys and did like Kanye's "Mama" performance.

Herbie Hancock and "Rhapsody in Blue"? Awesome.

I too, am enjoying! Loved Beyonce and Tina Turner's "Proud Mary",
Kid Rock and Keely Smith's duet and I ROFL when Vince Gill accepted his award saying " I just got a Grammy from a Beatle (Ringo Starr.) Has that happened to you Kanye?:lolabove: So humble, that Vince!

I've missed some of this but did see Amy Winehouse just now. Shocked that she did so well. Hope she's on the mend.

Loved H. Hancock/Rhapsody in Blue. Loved Alicia Keys. Tina was good too.

Being "ahem" older, I love the pairing they have been doing with the older singers and the younger ones. The Tina and Beyonce pairing was classic! Beyonce looked like Tina in her younger days with legs that went to there! Tina still has it!

Guilty pleasure- Morris Day and the Time!

That was a pretty clever comment by Gill. You know the history behind that comment, don't you? Kanye is known as a whiner and says foolish things when he doesn't receive an award for which he's nominated, as well as having an inflated image of his importance.

I liked his performance tonight, the music, the staging and his "show." I thought he sounded like Muhammad Ali though in his acceptance speech "I am the Greatest", only I like Muhammad better! I did not know that he whined like that - no buying his song on iTunes from me!

Thankfully, this year he decided to not talk to anybody when he lost album of the year. Rather than venting he just went off and sulked with some friends and refused to talk to the media.

As a big music fan, I disdain the Grammys and am happy to say I only suffered through a few minutes of this year's telecast.

However, you can't argue with these winners:
Michael Brecker
Terence Blanchard
Juan Luis Guerra
Stephen Marley
and, wow, Bruce Springsteen for his instrumental performance of Ennio Morricone's "Once Upon a Time in the West"!

Currently spinning the new Otis Taylor disc.

It was great! I enjoyed it.....hey, what was Cher doing there?--Did she not retire 4 times already...Now I hear she want $60 million for a new show in Vegas. Talk about staying power...whew...I guess some people cannot stay out of the limelight....

:floor: No kidding! I thought she looked pretty fab last night in comparison. I was so afraid she'd be sportin' that yellow bleached hair job!

Anyway, I don't really care what she looks like. I don't think she's a skank either, Just a girl who's taken a wrong turn and needs some guidance.

I really like Carrie and the drummers! She was hot in those boots too! She maneuvered the stairs, strutting the the whole time!

Fergie surprised me with her performance with Mr. Legend. I expected some "Clumsy" like popping but wow, she broke out with an incredible ballad!

I also loved Fiest! I had never heard of her! I caught myself rocking out with her!😀

I still can't say enough about Tina and Beyonce. Beyonce had the whole Tina movements going on!

The tribute to the Beatles and Pavarotti were both showstoppers!

Bruce Springsteen had a huge album back in 1984 called "Born in the U.S.A." Between that one and "Purple Rain" by Prince, that's about all we listened to that summer.

Seriously, you don't know who Bruce Springsteen is?

PS-Amy Winehouse sucks

LOL! I think Bruce is known, he is my all-time favorite singer ever, followed closely by Prince! I have an extremely diverse list of favorites! The rest of the people on your list, I'm not sure of. Is the Marley reference reggae?

Stephen Marley's album Mind Control won Best Reggae Album. It's great, even better than the album by Bob Marley's son Damian Marley a couple years ago.
