Grammys

[George Bellefontaine]

U2 did well indeed. Was glad to see Alison Krause win. Show itself didn't offer any shockers like in the past. But the best opening I've seen in a long time. Madonna looked really hot doing her disco piece in a skimpy outfit that really showed off those strong thighs of hers.

I enjoyed most of the night although I am affraid I missed the first 30 minutes. Anyway there were to things that really bugged me.

I was happy to see McCartney playing for the first time on the Grammy's but he wasnt on his "A" game IMO and that train wreck with JayZ and Linkin Park was almost enough to make me want to vomit. Guess I am too old school to appreciate the destruction of Beatles music with a Hip Hop flair. With that said I do like some of Linkin Parks work.

The other thing that really bugged me was the whole tribute to Sly Stone. Whoever chose the artists to pay tribute should be fired. Fantasia is from the city I live in and she was awful IMO. Also, why Steven Tyler? WHY WHY WHY? I like Steven Tyler but...really come on. Sly himself looked pretty bad I thought and I heard on the radio that he has only been out of his house 3 times in 19 years and that the reason he couldnt look up is beause he is hunch backed from sitting around the house and doing drugs. I have no idea if thats true, but it's sad regardless. It was kind of bizarr when he came out because he sort of pretended to play the keyboard and then just kind of left during the song.....strange moment for sure.

Yeah I have to agree with a lot of your Sly comments Foxman. I'll add that Maroon 5 guy didn't add much either.

I liked Sir Paul's Helter Skelter even if not his "A" game. His "B" game's still better than most at their best

The U2 and Mary J. Blige duet was pretty good I thought :T

Yeah, I agree Mary J was really into it which is always good.

I only caught parts of the show. Unfortunately, I missed U2's performance. I hear it was really good.

The part I saw that I thought was just horrible was when U2 won Best Album of the Year, when Adam Clayton went to the microphone to say a few words, they cut off his mic and switched cameras the the president of something or another, who blabbed ON AND ON about New Orleans and the Grammys. Very, very rude. Adam doesn't get enough respect in the band as it is, and to snub him like that, after he's won BEST ALBUM OF THE YEAR for gosh sakes... :M That was just bad.

[P-Dub]

Now couldn't U2 just start playing? I think that would have been fitting after 30 seconds, just like at all the other award shows.

[Chris D]

Now THAT would have been classic, if U2 had just stormed the performance stage, grabbed a bunch of instruments, and just ripped into "Vertigo" or "Pride" to interrupt the dude that so rudely interrupted THEM.

Was really cool to see my hometown boys score five gongs.....

Well, haven't seen it yet, it wasn't live over here. They'll show it tonight or tomorrow, so looking forward to the show.

Anyhow, Bono and Edge gave a live interview yesterday morning, well yesterday here, it was 1am LA time and both sounded well juiced up!

Sounded like a great show.

Vincent, you're gonna like U2's performance.
