Did you see the Grammys?
 

Did anyone get to see the Grammy's- and what did you think???

I forgot to add that Tina Turner and Cher looked GREAT! And congrats to Amy Winehouse for winning 3 Grammys!

I'm watching. This is the best Grammys awards show I've seen in a very long time. I'm really impressed with everyone's performances (except Kid Rock, who just botched the beginning of that duet) - I like the no host format and that they're in the Staples Center and can do these huge productions.

Amy's won 3 awards so far - one was for either R & B album or song, not televised, I noticed it at the bottom of the screen just before the first commercial break. I hope she sweeps every category she's nominated in!

Gotta go watch my girl Alicia....

Hey Livia..

I thought so too! Even the gospel numbers were great with Aretha, and cool about Amy!! Alicia was awesome too! I'm still in awe about how wonderful Tina looked! How old is she again?? Holy Moly!! I want to look just as half as good as she does!! Geez..:blob2:

let's cross our fingers that tonight just saved amy winehouse's life. seriously. i think this is what she needed.

I sure hope so !! I'm just sad she couldn't be let in the U.S. to come to the Grammy's and pick them up in person..:(

well, hopefully she'll get completely clean, record a new album in the future and be able to be here to receive it in person. i believe the u.s. granted her a visa to come here -- i just think coming over here probably wasn't the healthiest thing for her to do.

No chance for me to EVER watch this garbage...Sorry, just aint gonna happen in this lifetime.

Here's the list of nominees and winners...I don't know what I think I saw on TV re: Amy and an r&b category? Maybe it was her female pop vocal win...?

i thought the same thing. i'm not a big fan of hers, but i'm still pulling for her.

i watched off and on tonight, and my only big WTF (aside from that stupid will.i.am performance) was carrie motherf*cking underwood beating trisha yearwood for best country vocal performance. that is CRIMINAL.

Thank you for posting that link. I'm happy to see Chaka Kahn won two Grammy's and Lupe Fiasco won one.

When was the last time someone said in their acceptance speech "and to my Blake who is incarcerated"?

You can't argue that she has talent and an incredible stage presence. Hopefully she will get the help she needs.

The only Grammy awards for country music I ever enjoyed was the year they named Lyle Lovett and kd lang Male and Female Country Vocalists of the Year. Country radio couldn't handle it. It was great! :laugh:

the which?:p

THey aren't they same person?

I hope so. She looked great and her performance was incredible.

You SOOO sound like my boyfriend... The only thing he liked was the Foofighters! lol.. He ended up going in the other room and didn't want anything to do with it.. LOLOL

Loved the Beatles tribute! Wow! I can't wait to see Love In Vegas one of these days! :blob2:

Boy do I hear you there... I was telling one of my frinds on the phone last night, that IMO, I didn't think her song was all that, and I was SOOO tired of hearing it over and over on the radio.. :rolleyes:

Thanks SOO much for posting this!

did you also notice her changing song lyrics to include his name, etc? i mean, as much as i would hope when he's out of jail that he'll straighten out, probably the best thing for each of them is to not be a part of one another's lives simply based on past history and the fact that there seemingly is a lot of turmoil in their relationship. they enabled each other.

i hope she stays clean.

maybe it's just me, but I thought this was one of the most boring Grammys I can remember. just blah.

not even Beyonce and Tina melted my butter. although Tina looked utterly amazing.

tina melted mine. i want to be that old and move like that. seriously. fierce. beyonce annoys the hell out of me. i loved how before she bought out tina, her entire performance was lip sync city.

also, i'm in love with the foo fighters (FEBRUARY 21ST, BABY!!!) and brian (the guy who was up for a chance to play with them) is a local dude so i was kind of rooting for him.

so true. she looks and sounds amazing. did you like her outfit and nipple city?

I guess I just expected...ehhh, more. we've already seen Beyonce do Proud Mary at the Kennedy City Honors and we've seen Tina do it a zillion times. I guess it was the most logical choice, but it just fell a little flat.
omg I know! wtf.
they were awesome. best performance of the night to me.

If I remember correctly...
 

I think Tina Turner just turned 68 a few weeks ago. She looked great for that age.

I read that too and was shocked. I agree she looks amazing. maybe she uses La Mer too?! :laugh:

Mine too! I was sitting there with my mouth open, and still can't get over how amazing Tina looked and moved!

ROTFL.. you never know..could be another La Mer miracle! LOLOL:thumbsup:

That, or she's just magic.

I was pretty impressed with her performance last night, along with a few others (hello Morris Day and the mutha****in TIME). Like you all said, judging by the look on Winehouse's face when she won record of the year, I think this might be the kick in the ass she needs.

:bow:

I'm just in shock that the woman is 68 freakin years old!! That's a great pic by the way Jaz! ;)

Loved the Beatles tribute. Loved Vince Gill and his little joke to Kanye about a Beatle giving ME an award. lol LOVED Cher and Tina Turner is the best!! She has the talent that most of those new kids wish they had. Loved Tina and Beyonce singing together. Would love to see more of the older musicians/singers on these types of shows instead of all these newbies of the last few years. I don't care about Amy Winehouse and pretty tired of hearing about her. I don't think she deserved that many nominees and she doesn't have that much talent. I guess if you're in rehab and a very troubled person, it will bring you more fame than you deserve. At least her parents were by her side.

It definitely was a bit better this year than in past years.

^^^
well, the Grammys is just one big industry circle jerk...

Tina looks great. Beyonce is cute but Tina sure does put her to shame in this pic. Tina's 68 years old and moves like she's in her 20's:) Still has that great voice too.

Bitch looked great for MY age. :laugh:

I only watched bits & pieces, as I was busy watching a hockey player get his throat slashed during the Sabres game last night (he's OK.) I have the Grammy's on the DVR & plan on watching it later tonight.

OMG.. I just spit my diet coke out AGAIN, all over my poor keyboard - here at work.. ROTFL.... I KNOW you are not 68 years old.. LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL:lol:

^ Sorry about that. :laugh: I'm 32, btw.

ROTFL...Ahhh... to be young again.. LOLOL:nod:

:laugh: that is great.

since i see you don't live in the states i'll pass on calling you ignorant.

it was an okay song but that vocal was not grammy-worthy. heaven, heartache, and power of love, however? ... killer.
