Anyone watching the Grammys?

[YellowRubberDuckie]

(Or is that Grammies?) And if not, would you guys like live updates? I'm watching, and won't mind doing it like I did for the Golden Globes. Actually enjoyed it.

1. What the (bleep) is Prince holding?

Is that supposed to be a guitar?

[bigwillq]

2. Watching now

I don't like Beyonce's hair but glad Prince made an appearence. Love him for real, think he still rocks.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

4. She keeps messing with it.

It's annoying, and that dress is retarded.
Duckie

[bigwillq]

5. I agree with the dress

Sometimes she looks so hot and other times she looks like she's a mess

[madrchsod]

7. her hair?

she`s got it all go`n on. i guess prince decided to come out of the cold...

[bigwillq]

9. Prince Rocks!!! it's about time he's back

But still not liking "the hair"

[Limbought]

3. I'd rather stick needles in my eyes!

I guess you can count me as a "NO."

[ComerPerro]

57. The grammys make me sick

Its just disgusting

[Archae]

6. I had to change the channel.

The lighting effects and Prince's "singing" were making me ill. :puke:

I put on PBS's "Nature," about diamonds.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

8. OK, I just thought I'd offer.

O8)
Duckie

[bigwillq]

10. Yeah Beyonce!!!

Now go fix that hair! OK I'll stop now

[SeanQuinn]

11. Best Contemporary R&B Album- Dangerously in Love-- Beyonce

[bigwillq]

12. I think it was deserved n/t

[SeanQuinn]

14. It was between her and R. Kelly in my book

n/t

[bigwillq]

16. R would've been valid

The CD was good. "Step in the name of love" is an awesome song. Great ode to his Chicago roots.

[SeanQuinn]

19. I like "Step in the Name of Love"

I sneak listening to him. My dad doesn't let me listen to him because of his prison charges-- whatever happened to innocent until proven guilty?

[bigwillq]

23. Don't stop listening to R

he's got some talent. Hey, he made a mistake and he'll pay for those mistakes.

[SeanQuinn]

13. Dave Matthews and Sting Tribute to the Beatles--

I'll never dance w/ another.

[bigwillq]

15. I don't think their performance was

very inspiring and I like Sting and have grown to like DM but it didn't do much for me

[YellowRubberDuckie]

17. You can't deny their enthusium and their energy...

They were putting their little hearts into it, I thought.
Duckie

[SeanQuinn]

20. Yes, the Beatles can't be emulated perfectly. They did a damn good job tho

[bigwillq]

22. Energy yes, passion no...

only my opinion. Wow I'm hating on this show alot so far and it's only 15 minutes in.

[SeanQuinn]

18. 7 out of 10 for me-- A bit dry.

[mlawson]

21. No, I am listening to a wonderful 'college radio' station on the internet.

It's WRVU in Nashville, Vanderbilt's radio station. They play 'real' alternative, and even though I am 53, it's still my favorite music.

Now, when the Grammy's honor artists such as I am enjoying right now, instead of Linkin Park, Three Doors Down, and Beyonce (?!?!?!?!?), then I will maybe watch the show. But I am not holding my breath. Has Three Doors Down won best song yet?? They are truly ghastly, IMO. Oh, what has Staind won so far???

[NewHampster]

46. URL

I'm 52 and would love to listen to good music while I watch the babes on the Grams

[mlawson]

49. www.wrvu.org

Have fun!

[bigwillq]

24. Good job 'Tina

I think she has a wonderful voice. It's hard to sing live in a place like that. She actually looked decent too.

[bigwillq]

25. No Doubt Rules

I love Gwen. What a great song too.

[bigwillq]

26. Isn't the video for this White Stripes song

one of the trippest videos ever?? I was so stoned and drunk one night and came home and it was on and I was mesmerized (spell??). I think it's great.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

27. The White Stripes SUCK Live.

I'm sorry, I like Seven Nation Army normally. This crap sucks. How the hell did they get a Record deal? I know better bands here in Oklahoma that practice out of their basements... :wtf:
Duckie

[bigwillq]

28. Kinda of agree...

They weren't good but I love the song. I'm surprised they can't sing live. Isn't that how most rocks bands get their start? By playing in local clubs.

[alfredo]

52. It is supposed to be raw, noisy and messy. It is

70's Detroit garage band music. It is very true to the sound and feeling of the era.

You had to be there.

You also have to be shit-faced on Boone's Farm wine and Mexican smoke.

[Deja Q]

29. They've got some 2-bit pop band finishing now

Seems like a hacked and lifeless grunge ditty. The music was noise and the lyrics were incomprehensible. The background red effects were pseudo-60s and also uninspiring. Probably just as intentional as the music being played.

Maybe it's just me, but music should either have a coherent message in it and/or be spirited and exciting, rich in melody but active and exciting. I can't stand romantic crap or lifeless monotone sounds.

[stopbush]

30. I'm a NARAS member, so I have to vote on them

but that doesn't mean I have to watch them!

[bigwillq]

32. Oooh please share some of the buzz

going into the show???

[bigwillq]

31. What was up with Outkast??? n/t

[NewHampster]

34. They won

[bigwillq]

35. I know but it took them forever to get to the stage

and then they said like one thing. What were they doing?? What were they pulling a Christine Lathi and were in the bathroom??

[NewHampster]

33. That Anti-Drug ad was Awesome

The girl not helping her drowning friend

Wow

[citizen snips]

36. I am not watching the grammys.

n/t

[ellie]

37. I just saw the MoveOn ad

That was great. I haven't seen the whole thing before. I am turning it at 9 to watch Malcom in the Middle.

[ronnykmarshall]

40. COOL!

We don't get the show until 8pm PST, but I'm taping it. Glad to hear the at Move On ad is on.

Hope Bill and Hillary win.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

38. Amy Lee looks great, Jakob Dylan too, but Amber Tamblyn?

Didn't your mother ever tell you that a Tshirt isn't appropriate when everyone else is DRESSED UP! Come on sweetie! Get with it. You looked so beautiful for the Golden Globes!
Duckie

[bigwillq]

41. Good point

She should've been dressed up but she's still cute

[YellowRubberDuckie]

39. Justin Timberlake just won a grammy...

Not sure for what...was surfing DU.
Duckie

[bigwillq]

42. I think it was for Pop Male or something like that

[NewHampster]

43. Justin failed miserably

Forget it we don't care if you wanted to see her tit

[bigwillq]

44. Agree He blew it

He should've have said nothing about the "tit" incident. He won a grammy talk about that say your thank you's and get the hell off the stage.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

45. Um, I thought they went out for like ten minutes or something...

I'm sure he'd already seen it.
Duckie

[bigwillq]

47. i heard they went out too

sure he's seen it

[NewHampster]

Coooll

Major Failure of the tech shit

[NewHampster]

48. hmmm

:evilgrin:

[OKNancy]

50. Boy, the DU gang is jaded

I liked the Prince and Beyonce song, the Beatles tribute, and I liked White Stripes too ( 55 year old Okie here) and Christina A. was good too.

Maybe it's my new HD- surround sound teevee I'm liking. You can see the pimples on their back. LOL

[YellowRubberDuckie]

54. Hey Nancy, fellow Okie here...

I liked everything...but The White Stripes. I'm so jealous of HD TV...Maybe someday...SIGH
Duckie

[OKNancy]

62. My other tv blew up and my mother-in-law

gave us the money for the new one. She is so grateful I married her son....hahahaha

[bigwillq]

51. Don't you love LIVE tv n/t

[bigwillq]

53. Madonna is legend

And still looking good. Good or bad, I respect her for saying and doing whatever the fuck she wants. And her new music and just as good as her old, imo.

[TheDonkey]

55. Whoever was in charge of audio needs to be fired

talk about tacky with all these audio mishaps.

[bigwillq]

58. Awful. Live tv is great for stuff like that

I felt bad for Celine.

[NewHampster]

56. Christina looked awesome

Almost did a Janet

[Edge]

59. Hell f-n no..

i'm not wasting my time watching that shit.

[bigwillq]

60. A little angry huh?? n/t

[Edge]

67. Well....considering that these people work very little...

and get a big ass awards show on national tv...yet people who work their asses off for the Pulitzer, Nobel, or other prizes don't get jack shit on tv.

Yes, you can say I'm a little angry.

[bigwillq]

73. I see your point

I'm a journalist and it's a shame that these glamour shows get all the press

[SeanQuinn]

61. Yoko Ono Speaks.

[NewHampster]

63. Give Peace a Chance

Amen

[YellowRubberDuckie]

65. She was crying...

Saw Madonna say, Oh, she's so sweet.
Duckie

[bigwillq]

64. Great speech I thought

Oh I still love Yoko

[NewHampster]

66. Who is that women on now

[YellowRubberDuckie]

69. Which woman?

[NewHampster]

70. Green Mini

[YellowRubberDuckie]

68. The Black Eyed Peas Rock...

This song is so right on the money. Although, what's with all those hand movements and crap? They look like they're having problems. lol
Duckie

[bigwillq]

74. They urged people to vote

Rock on!!!

[NewHampster]

71. Perfect Song for tonight

Rock the Vote

[YellowRubberDuckie]

72. Why is Keith Urban wearing his shirt like a chick would?

It looks gay.
Duckie

[bunk76]

75. Janet takes all the heat.....

nelly gets a pass,justin,pass, kid rock pass...f**k em all.

[bigwillq]

78. Enough of Justin already

We've seen him 246 times already!!!! At least it seems that way to me

[YellowRubberDuckie]

76. This song that Beyonce is singing SUCKS

Good lord, whoever told her it was good needs to be fired.
Duckie

[bigwillq]

77. I think it does suck too

But I think she's making the best out of it. Her hair and outfit are fabulous this time

[chefgirl]

88. I agree

Yeah, the song really sucked. About as boring as someone singing the phone book.......but the set for that song was the shit!

I say Samuel L. should get an honorary Grammy for an ass-kicking performance as the Funk MC! He raised the level of that entire set.

-chef-

[NewHampster]

79. Damn He's good

I saw Robert Randolph as the opening act for Susan Tedeschi.

He is incredible

[supernova]

80. First time I heard him

Awesome!!

That whole funk set was just awe-inspiring. And Samuel Jackson, LOL!

I mean they just covered it:

Earth, Wind, and Fire
Outkast
Robert Johnson
George Clinton w/ Parliment Funkadelic.

Whew! Hot Damn, ya'll! :bounce: :party:

[kanrok]

81. That guy is awesome

I'm going straight to iTunes and downloading some of that. Susan Tedeschi rocks also.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

82. Chris Martin dedicates his grammy to John Kerry

whom he hopes will be our new president. interesting. :D

[kanrok]

87. Hey, Lefty

Blue talked tonight! I watched with my daughters.

[no_arbusto]

83. Coldplay for Kerry.

"We hope he'll be your next president."

[NewHampster]

84. Usually the Grammys suck but this show is great!

The funk set even got to this old acid rockster.

Of course that must mean that Funk, Hip Hop, Rap is now mainstream and about to die a long death.


Long Live Rock and Roll

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

85. Sarah Maclachlan... really off tonight

I saw her on the Today show doing this song a few months back, just her and her piano... and she did it much much better.

[NewHampster]

86. I saw that too and you are right

its just her and her music so it has to be perfect

[supernova]

90. What's with the Sara Brightman impersonation?

S M looks so much like Sara Brightman, it isn't even funny. :shrug:

[NewHampster]

89. Bedtime approaches - My Best to CA and NY

Good Night DU

Sorry California and New York. You'll get a chance to vote again in 4 years.

[mvd]

91. I admit - not much

From what I've seen, it seems like there's a lot of hip hop and other styles I don't like. For the people who know my taste - how many artists I love were there? If I missed out, at least hanging out at DU isn't so bad. :-)

[supernova]

92. Ended with Warren Zevon

They did a montage of all the musicians who had died this year. Man, tough year.

Last thing was "Keep Me in Your Heart for a While" :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:
