word. and it sounded like his guitar was a bit out of tune as well. all-in-all, did not make for a very good performance. i was voting for good old imogen but i knew she'd loose to underwood so it wasn't that big of a shock.

Dutch radio reported that the only reason the Dixie Chicks won was because they were due an apology from the 'music industry' for coming down so hard on them back when they made those comments. Mind you, nobody knows the Dixie Chicks here.

i liked the gnarls barkley performance okay, but i was hoping they'd switch up how they played the song a little more. i liked the intro, but i would have liked for it to have gotten a little more funky, especially after the background singers came in. but cee-lo definitely did his job.. that is for sure. the shades were bitchin'.

(followed by that whole whiny-whispery thing john mayer does that only lindsey can pull off.) go back to whatever coffee shop it is you came from, please.

I agree with all of this!

Christina and Mary J were spot on last night. Business as usual for Christina, but it was a pleasant surprise to hear Mary do so well. Live performances have been a problem for her in the past, but she seems to be blowin' it up these days.

Dixie Chicks bored me. Sorry!

Oh boy...Beyonce is on....

Loved the Police intro!! Was also bored by the Dixies Chicks. Rascal Flatts did a nice Eagles medley. James Blunt also did a nice acoustic spot and John Mayer was awesome with John Legend and Corinne Bailey Rae.

While those are good, they IMO do not jam it as hard as Rush. But, to each his own and if you wanna talk Zeppelin - we can talk all day

not to demean their win or the fact that their album was, in actuality, very solid, but i think it did have a small bit to do with the fact that during the initial fallout, they were shunned by many and by giving them grammy nods, it was a way to acknowledge the industry as a whole still stands by them. however, i certainly don't think it's the only reason.

Looks like she knew it too - did you see her when they announced Carrie as the winner? Her face was totally expressionless, she just stood up, hiked her purse over & clapped, looking bored. It was awesome.

ZZ Top is insanely good live.

I kind of watched - while doing laundry, ripping CDs into my mp3, watching Family Guy and Brothers & Sisters, etc. I Tivo'd it in case I missed anything spectacular - I missed the majority of performances, so I think I'll go back & watch Mary J. and Xtina. A few thoughts:

Joan Baez looks incredible.

Don Henley looks awful.

Rascall Flatts should never - EVER - do any Eagles songs again. Never. My ears were bleeding. I did like Carrie's Desperado though. BTW - what was all that about? Did The Eagles get some sort of lifetime award or something?

WTF were Scarlett Johannson & Christina Ricci doing there? And did I see Ted from Queer Eye sitting in the audience?

Slayer won a Grammy.

I find that hilarious, since I'm sure they don't care.

I don't think anyone looked terrible - actually, I don't like Mayer in a tux. I'd bang Timberlake so hard he wouldn't know what hit him. Good God. Pink looked incredible, so did Mary J. That's all I can think of right now, I missed the red carpet.

Scarlett's allegedly banging Justin. BTW, have you seen the director's cut of his new video w/ Scarlett? Hot.

I love when I'm posting on the Ledge and FM comes on the radio....run in the shadows....

I haven't had time to read this whole thread yet but I thought the show was definitely one of the better ones I've seen in a long time. The show as always is a bit long. When they did the lifetime achievement things for The Doors and The Grateful Dead, it would have been nice if they gave the guys a moment to speak. I missed most of The Police's performance, it was pretty short. Fortunately, I recorded it and went back and watched it later. My verdict is that the boys still have it. I think that is going to be one hot tour. And Mary J. Blige touched my heart with her first acceptance speech for One. Christina Aguilera blew the roof of the joint doing her rendition of James Brown's It's A Man's World. And I've also got to hand it to Justin Timberlake. The kid has matured into one hell of a talented writer, musician and performer. I'm actually a fan. I love What Goes Around. And I loved his backup singers hand movements when they sing "what goes around..." It reminds me of the hand movement Stevie does during Sorcerer when she sings about the black ink darkness.

I agree, the Chili Peppers should have played something more rocking. I was happy for their wins tonight. There's not a bad song on that album, imo.

I completely agree about the new album. They should have played "Hump de Bump" --> That song is just amazing in every way. I think Stadium Arcadium is my favorite song on the entire album though, AMAZING RECORD!

I am so happy for the Dixie Chicks. I am such a fan after this album. It really is great!

Livia · #**194** 02-12-2007, 04:07 PM

^^^ Hump de Bump! Yes!!
