Grammys
 
Who's watching?


I'll be watching half-assed. Sometimes it is good, sometimes it is not. I figure it will be an Usher sweep....and Ray Charles, possibly.


All I know is that I will be glued to the TV when Joan and Melissa interview the artists. Their show starts at 6 on the TV Guide Channel. :thumbsup:

I'll be watching for some kind of Everybody Loves Raymond thing they'll be doing sometime during the show.

How inane. This is a music show, not a forum to plug that crap. :rolleyes: :laugh:

I'll be watching Joan and Melissa first off. Love those catty bitches. I'll watch the Grammy's for Franz Ferdinand, Prince, Loretta Lynn, and Bonnie Raitt, but that's about it. I can't stand the rest. :o

Janet 02-13-2005 03:12 PM

I'll be at work and I'll miss it, as usual :(
They used to have it on Wednesdays, then I could usually catch it. This Sunday *hit sucks.

If I were home, I'd probably rather watch Surreal Life or Desperate Housewives anyway.

Franz will lose to U2 for Best Rock. Personally, U2 is hardly rock.....They are as pop as they come.

Yeah, I'm sure they'll lose that one (Grrrrrrr...I hate U2), but I'm hoping they grab Best Alternative Album...one is better than none. :laugh:

U2 sucks ass. I'm so sick of seeing them. :rolleyes:

Thanks for reminding me...
 
that this crap is on...Rather stare at the litterbox for 2-3 hours since both are full of the same thing :lol:

If Kanye West gets shut out, it will make my Feburary. :blob2:

WelshWitchPMD 02-13-2005 03:47 PM

Well, I won't be watching. :rolleyes:

You don't want to. His attitude and personality is piss-poor.

There seems to be a lot of that in the music today. I don't care for most of it out there anyway. I was at a local Barnes and Noble last night and my friend and I were looking for something new and exciting in music but we found nothing.

Get some Franz Ferdinand. :thumbsup:

Kanye West is more obnoxious than 50 Cent. :eek: He truly gets on my tits like no other. Same with Gretchen Wilson, my word.

amber 02-13-2005 04:53 PM

I'll watch for awhile, till I've seen Gwen and Franz - then i'll probably flip back and forth from that to the shows I actually like, most of which are on on Sunday Night. Except for one of my faves, Cold Case, which won't be on cause of the stupid Grammys. :laugh:

I'm just gonna tape Desperate Housewives in the other room, I can't miss four Franz songs. :laugh: What is with Sunday nights nowadays? The only good stuff is on and they all air at the same bloody time. :cool:

Rock with a little new wave thrown in. I'm sure Amazon has sound clips. :nod: I don't like current music at all, but they're fabulous.

wait, Franz is doing 4 songs? Or do you mean that, somehow, 4 songs will get airplay that night? Oh, shoot, I forgot about how I will want to see all the girls' clothes...

They're doing four songs. :D

-Take Me Out
-This Boy (new song)
-What You Said (new song)
-Do You Want It? (new single)

Grammy clothes are always so ridiculous, I love making fun of them. :nod:

How come they get to do so many songs? I thought most people only got to do one.

Beats me, but I'm not complaining. The less I hear from Kanye West and U2, the better. Chances are it will just one big long medley, though.

My soul will weep. They're both hacks. I'd rather see The Killers take it before either of them. And why the f*ck wasn't Franz nominated in that category? They're new.

Well, The Killers are not nominated. Maroon5, Joss Stone, and some other group is. I like Maroon5....I really do. I'm pulling for them.

ontheEdgeof17 02-13-2005 06:01 PM

Wow. Joan and Melissa are dressed down tonight. They look like they fit in. :D

The Franz performance is a medley. I hate medleys. Even FM's on the Grammys in '98 was awful. Well- not awful. There was the appearance of the Long Black Velvet Coat. Other than that? awful.

I'm rooting for Gretchen. She's ****ing fabulous. And, uh? Thank GOD the Killers aren't nominated, why would they be? Talk about hacks. That album puts me to sleep, and they're seriously one of the worst live acts I've ever seen.

The Grammys are such crap. I think it'll be a Kanye sweep- with a little Ray Charles and Usher thrown in. Next year I hope it's Kanye's protege John Legend picking up that best new artist award.

I'm going to watch the first half hour and that's it. All my favorite Sunday night shows are new tonight.

Well, out of those choices, I'd like Joss Stone to take it. :laugh: I can't stand the rest.

Are they opening the show? That's what I heard, I'd love to not have to wait for ages to see them and have to endure all the other **** music.

And FM was awful. Whoever thought it was a good idea to do a medley with the piano version of Rhiannon was high as a kite.

The Killers suck. Truly wretched. My condolences for actually having to sit through one of their shows. It must have been torturous, darling.

Is Loretta Lynn performing? I've no idea if she is and I'd love to see her.

Mageboy25 02-13-2005 06:53 PM

GO GRETCHEN!!!!!!

Just found out today that she use to live in the same small town I use to live in outside of Nashville for a few years before she hit the big time this year. HA maybe our paths crossed somewhere before.

Im Tivoing the show, going out tonight. I'll enjoy the show bc i can fast forward through all the crap I dont want to see :).

I dunno, but this seems like a royal mess:

The Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani (who will be joined by Eve), Maroon 5, Franz Ferdinand and Los Lonely Boys will open the show by appearing together in one performance across three stages, the Recording Academy announced Tuesday (February 8).
