NFT: Adele killed it at the Grammys

Steve L : 2/12/2017 8:42 pm
Like her or not...she has a great voice. She just nailed her Grammy appearance. Sounded better live than recorded.

that they couldn't find any male singers who could come close to Barry Gibb's voice to sing his tribute. Pretty lame that Timberlake baled on him since his most memorable SNL sketch is doing a Bee Gee parody

I saw him two years ago at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park NJ, and now he's performing at the Grammys. Good for him. One of the most genuine musicians involved with this show.

Please tell me your thoughts on the rap category


Uh oh. I sense we have a rap fan here trying to make haters out of those that aren't slobbering over the Grammys! Quite a reach, mind you, though not surprising. I guess if you think Beyoncé is overrated, you hate rap and everything it stands for. Not sure what one has to do with the other, except if sjnyfan is underhandedly implying BBI is a bunch of rap hating old white guys, which I'm guessing is his insinuation. Quite a leap there, mr sensitive.


Lol, I didn't think anyone would take the bait but thank you for the laugh BigBlueShock. FWIW I hate the Grammys. I'm only watching because I made a deal with my wife who watched the Knicks this afternoon. I think it is a poor representation of good music, rather a ratings grab for CBS or whomever is airing it and the only way to do that is promote who is best known. It's not that I hate Beyonce or even her album but she's been around for twenty years now and people still do the same thing. Hating on her is futile at this point. First time I heard Beyonce was with Destiny's Child on the Men in Black soundtrack (you can hate me for that) and she's still making hit records. She's well respected as a singer, entertainer and her fans, which include other well respected artists like Adele, love her. I don't know why people continue to put forth the effort to hate her. As for the rap category, it's also shit. As an old school fan for the most part I hate it. But anyone who hates the art form I beg you to drop an album this year and make it a hit. With that said, I only mentioned that because it was the next award up when I made the post.

Good to see ATCQ perform at the Grams. I hate Target for even more using that half assed "it takes two" remake. If I see another shot of J and Bey... Actually Bey is alright.

Is the almost obligatory rap interlude. Ariana Grande, for instances, might be singing a perfectly good bubble gum pop song and then out of nowhere comes the rapper du jour with some lame rap. "Gonna love you Grande style, drop it on you baby girl like a du du pile. I'm the baddest G with a mic within a mile."

Hate it...

I like a lot of rap today. But I agree with this. Albums like John Legend's album before this newest one had a rap solo that didn't really vibe with the whole thing. It shouldn't insinuate itself. It should be organic. Who do I think I to judge that maybe, but I think the point stands.
My favorite thing about the Grammy's  
smshmth8690 : 2/13/2017 4:03 am : link
is that I get a chance to make believe I am one of the cast of Mystery Science Theater when I watch. I rip the lame ass pop stars to shreds, and laugh my ass off while I do it. They are all ridiculous to me. Then when the show is over, and all the ridiculous pop stars, and music industry execs, go off to party, I go to bed. Early tomorrow when they get back to their palatial estates, I'll be on my way into work, but they will know that I think they are ridiculous, and they will feel shame. yup, true story.

JerryNYG : 2/13/2017 5:29 pm : link
However, I was glad to hear that Chance the Rapper and Sturgill Simpson both got some love. They are each very different from the other, but what they share in common is that they are genuine artists, not overproduced background music.
The Grammy Awards telecast  
PaulBlakeTSU : 2/13/2017 6:10 pm : link
is the one award show worth watching because of all the performances. Who wins the awards and the speeches they give are secondary to me. I watch it on DVR and focus more on the performances.

It's a show celebrating music and packs itself with wall to wall performances that run the gamut of genres.There were some great, great performances last night and other enjoyable, interesting ones.

Adele, Bruno Mars (both performing his own song AND paying tribute to Prince), Chance the Rapper, Sturgill Simpson, Gary Clark Jr with William Bell, The Weeknd with Daft Punk, along with interesting mash-ups like Lady Gaga with Metallica, A Tribe Called Quest with Anderson Paak, Maren Morris and Alicia Keys, and a nice rendition of "God Only Knows" by John Legend and a Broadway star I'm unfamiliar with.

I thought there was plenty to enjoy.

PaulBlakeTSU : 2/13/2017 6:39 pm : link
for those who wanted to see the Metallica/Gaga performance without the technical issues, the live feed had Hetfield's mic working properly so the issue was just with the TV broadcast
