All I know is that the Oscar set is kinda lame and the Grammy set is really cool. Me? Unlikely to watch either of course.

Which bit would that be? Joan & Melissa's red carpet coverage and The Police and then you're done?

LOL -- you KNOW I'll be watching Joan and her horse daughter. I'll actually switch back and forth to E!...
The first hour of the Grammy's will be good, I am sure. I can DVR Housewives and Brothers & Sisters. But I am SOOO hooked on B&S that, even though its recording, just KNOWING that it's on is gonna make me crazy and I'm gonna have to watch it!
I'm so out of it, though, I had no idea that the Police were playing! SASS!
Who else is scheduled to perform?

How could you not know about The Police performing? That was the rumour that sparked the leak of the reunion tour. They are opening the show. I wouldn't be surprised if the Housewives and B&S are reruns. The networks tend to do that when they know they're gonna be beat in the ratings anyway....if not, then I think you should record the Grammys while you watch the other shows! I'm really shocked that you're not into 'em, being the huge music fan that you are.

***SPOILER ALERT*** (Well, one thing below was news to me - I haven't noticed it being mentioned on any commercials, but I'm excited!)

Thats VERY cool about **SOMEONE HOT** joining Mary J (who I think is gonna be a big winner tomorrow night along with the Chicks). I dont give a crap about Ludacris, though.

I hope Tom scores for any of his categories just cause it was a wonderful CD.
"Crazy" should win for song of the year.
I also hope the Raconteurs win their alternative award.

I also hope Bob Dylan wins. I've been listening to MODERN TIMES quite a bit this past week.
Brilliant lyrics, as always....

Other than those mentioned, I don't care about any of the other artists.

Okay everyone, what is the deal with Mary J?

I get the whole tragic kicked the booze and drug thing blah de blah. Fer god's sake, I am a homo, I do see that.

But, everytime I have heard her perform I cannot escape the simple fact the she is nearly tone deaf. The bitch is flatter and sharper than a round one American
Idol reject. And that makes those attempted vocal scales, which I hate anyway, even more painful. What am I missing?

You are cracking my ass up yet again!

I hardly think she is the best vocalist out there but I think it's the soul that comes through her recordings. This release that she is repeatedly nominated for really is a good mainstream record.
My tastes are much more alternative/indy...that's why the Grammy's dont get me all excited.
But yeah, Mary J is this years comeback kid. Good press agent?

OH MY GOD! Me too...I usually DVR The L Word just to watch Sally Field and Co. on there! I don't care what's she on usually...I am such a huge fan. This is the first ensemble I've seen her on since Steel Magnolias that is WORTHY OF HER TALENT!

When she was here in Savannah, I missed an opportunity to meet her during Forrest Gump. I only caught glimpses from afar because I was too nervous. I could kick myself for that now...

I'm pissed I didn't watch B&S from the get go. something told me it was going to be good. and now, since I have this thing about watching a show in the middle of the season, I can't watch it. maybe they'll rerun it before the next season starts.

I think I can help you get copies of those episodes...let me talk to my friend the computer whiz. Then a lil' package will come your way...you'll never leave your sofa/chair once they start!
