I used to watch but it became to political for my liking. When The Police opened the Grammys 7 years ago or so it gave me chills..The Beach Boys 2 years ago was cool, too.
Beyonce' is probably the most overrated person walking God's green earth.
What the fuck was that shit? Does she think she's the Virgin Mary?
The more pop culture tries to shove someone down my throat as the Greatest Thing Ever, the more I don't care.
I could give a flying F about Beyonce or her personal life or music or baby
They really don't know the lyrics to Sweet Caroline? Â
Did a great story on Bruno Mars and his childhood in Hawaii playing Little Elvis in his family's band at the Waikiki Sheraton. He spent some time basically homeless, living in a car, a park, etc. pretty amazing. And he seems like a really good guy.
When you achieve her level of fame and status, it quickly becomes shameless self promotion. She could take a dump on stage and they would call it art and incredible. What I kind of take issue to is using a sacred thing like pregnancy and selling it to the masses. But then again that is their role in the entertainment division of industry.
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.

I have no problem saying I think rap sucks. With some exceptions, I just see no talent and think it's the worst form of music ever. If that makes me a bad person, so be it.
That's the beauty of music. It's a personal thing.
is incredibly talented. That being said, I stopped caring for her after she went on 60 Minutes and proclaimed she "never asked to be famous" and didn't like it, etc. That whole act is a bit tiresome.
is great, but when do you run the risk of just over saturating everything and trying to be every type of artist. I like her for her originality but it's starting to feel like she's trying to be too original...if that makes sense?
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.
Is shit compared to the 1987-mid 90's era when there were so many talented lyricists and storytellers. Now most of it is over produced, vacant, culturally insignificant nonsense.

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.

Saw him two summers ago at the Foo Fighters birthday party in DC. Then Again here in Rochester last summer. He's just amazing. A very talented man.
To her she messed up. She missed a note and some words. So she started over. I couldn't even tell. She so good.
also this is fucking weird.
