I'm happy and sad at the same time. Honor her work is recognized but sad she never saw it happen by just a few months.
How Buck/Vie was never nominated and won for best pop duo is beyond me. This is way I hate award shows.

Sheryl on piano, singing the first verse. Bonnie sitting on a stool, and sang the second verse. Mick had his talking drum, and was sort of doing a heartbeat sound with it, even for a couple seconds after the song was over. It was pretty moving.

I didn’t like the first verse or the drumming at first. I thought it seemed to get better once Bonnie started singing. Mick thumping the heartbeat after the song finished tore me up.

Bonnie is a much more emotionally evocative singer than is Sheryl (and I like Sheryl).

It looked to me like Bonnie was wearing an outfit designed by Margi Kent - whose designs Christine wore on stage for many years.

It's still weird knowing that she's gone.
