The Annual Grammy Awards - General Discussion

[ebk57]

Drink! Dave Grohl sighting! I think it should be two shots since it wasn't a traditional rock/hard rock song. 

 

Damn.  Missed it!   Can I please drink anyway?

 

And look - it's Lionel singing!  I'm shocked!!!

[shoregirl]

Wait Bruno Mars is there? Why couldn't he be a part of this?

[dbell1]

Everyone drink! Dave Grohl sightings! Double shot since he has a red solo cup!

[Muffyn]

Yes!  A Dave Grohl sighting.  Drink!

[Fostersmom]

Drink! Dave Grohl sighting! I think it should be two shots since it wasn't a traditional rock/hard rock song. 

 

He's drinking from a red Solo cup!

[Callaphera]

And they're only presenting 8 awards live.

... seriously? Seriously?! Just call it the Grammy Concert with bonus awards. What happened to an award show handing out awards? I know, crazy concept but...

[dbell1]

Callaphera, we think alike! Drink more. Then they'll all sound like they're in tune.

[Thumper]

A www, I liked seeing Lionel but I am old. Would have enjoyed just him and John Legend, though.

[Chrissytd]

And they're only presenting 8 awards live.

And it's still a bazillion hours long.

[ebk57]

... seriously? Seriously?! Just call it the Grammy Concert with bonus awards. What happened to an award show handing out awards? I know, crazy concept but...

 

I think that's about the same amount they present every year.  The only way to get eyes on the show is the concert part.  Or so they think

[Callaphera]

I think that's about the same amount they present every year.  The only way to get eyes on the show is the concert part.  Or so they think

 

I think it is. And I think I have the same reaction every year, too. It's my yearly "Back in my day, sonny"/"Hey, you kids, off my lawn!" moment. Or the wine always makes me forget until the next year. Toss up, really.

[Fostersmom]

An hour in and only 2 awards handed out. Sounds right. 

[Quof]

Best quote I read on one of the several live blogs I'm following:  "John Legend is an unguent. He makes everything just a little bit greasier."

[dbell1]

If only the critters from Sing were doing these songs. That would be entertaining. Taylor would be a lemming. Grohl would be a warthog...

[Misslindsey]

I really do not mind seeing Stephen Colbert as one of the random CBS stars they trot out. Did you know the Grammys are on CBS? It has not been mentioned that much.

[ebk57]

Best quote I read on one of the several live blogs I'm following:  "John Legend is an unguent. He makes everything just a little bit greasier."

 

Yes!  That's the New York Times.  They're so much ruder than normal tonight!

[Machiabelly]

At least Colbert is a 2 time Grammy winner.

Rhianna is a no go per doctors orders, I wonder who will fill in

[Thumper]

I like Little Big Town, but what is the dark-haired chick wearing -- leather pants with lace chaps?????

[Callaphera]

Another sleeper. Thank God for wine.

[Misslindsey]

Was the Lionel tribute the only upbeat performance?

 

Yawn. This is nominated for song of the year? Really?

 

I am more of a singer/songwriter, alternative, indie (indie-folk), and rock sort of girl. Any performances of any of that?

[Fostersmom]

I really don't need to see up this chick's nose. 

[WhitneyWhit]

I like how Ryan basically said this song flopped.

[Minneapple]

So what's with all the boring as fuck performances? If I was invited to perform at the Grammys I'd be like, "OK, I'm going to do a rocking song and KNOCK THEIR SOCKS OFF." But....zzzz. Everyone is singing these slow-ass ballads and putting me to sleep.

[Callaphera]

I like Little Big Town, but what is the dark-haired chick wearing -- leather pants with lace chaps?????

 

I think she stole the other chick's pants, 'cause she seems to be missing them.

[CarpeDiem54]

I liked seeing Lionel, too.

I can see why this Little Big Man (or whoever the hell they are) song didn't zip to the top of the charts. Zzzzzz....

[Callaphera]

What's with all the red Solo cups?

[Misslindsey]

Is Jack Antonoff still with Lena Dunham? He seems to be getting a lot of camera time.

[Callaphera]

Second Dave Grohl sighting. Drink again!

[ebk57]

Second Dave Grohl sighting. Drink again!

 

L'Chaim!!

[Fostersmom]

Why does it look like the audience is smashed in there on folding chairs? 

[Quof]

Little Big Town is (are?) actually awesome, and the radio version of the single features their amazing harmonies.  But that version was a snoozer.

[Fostersmom]

That was cute! LOL!

[Thumper]

LOL Stevie Wonder -- "you can't read Braille!"

[ebk57]

I love Stevie Wonder

 

I wish I could get into Pentatonix, but I can't.

[CarpeDiem54]

Ed Grimley singing with Stevie Wonder? Meh.

[Indigo Luna]

ED WON HELL YES!!!!!!!

[Misslindsey]

Not my favorite Ed Sheeran song, but I really like him, so I will go with it.

[Callaphera]

Ed Whoever wins an award, Taylor Swift is acting like her baby just graduated with honours. I think she was more excited than him.

[Chrissytd]

Taylor's fake surprise face. Drink!

[Fostersmom]

It's nice to see Taylor so excited for him. 

[Slade347]

You wouldn't know that Earth Wind & Fire was actually an R&B band based on that performance. Speaking of Earth, Wind & Fire, they're still a performing band. Maybe they should have just had Stevie jam with them? Sigh.

[Quof]

FFS Taylor, take a seat.  This isn't about you.

[Misslindsey]

 

I wish I could get into Pentatonix, but I can't.

Me either. You are not alone.

[WhitneyWhit]

Of course Taylor had to make it her moment, guaranteeing that all the blogs will be talking about her reaction to his win.

Edited February 16, 2016 by WhitneyWhit

[CarpeDiem54]

Great. They fucked up the Glenn Frey tribute. Morons!

[Mountainair]

I remember last years Grammy show being just as snooze worthy and everyone here saying, "just wait until next year, there weren't any upbeat songs out this year". I think it's the same story again this year however with all the unexpected deaths and tributes going on the tone of the show changes a bit.

[dbell1]

I love Ed Sheeran, but I think he needs rehab.

Jackson Browne and The Eagles. I think there's dust in here, or onions. Nope, theses aren't tears. :(

[Callaphera]

According to the soon to be Mr. Callaphera, this Eagles bit sucks because someone original isn't playing guitar, this is too slow of a version and he's still bitching since the song started. I think he needs more wine too.

[Minneapple]

I didn't hear who won, then looked up to see Taylor freaking out and the camera following her. I thought she won.

 

Someone on twitter said that Taylor stole Bianca's prom dress from 10 Things I Hate About You. I lol'ed.

[Misslindsey]

 

Ed Whoever wins an award, Taylor Swift is acting like her baby just graduated with honours. I think she was more excited than him.

Her reaction was so over the top. I get wanting a friend to win, but geez then it became all about Taylor's reaction shots. I cannot with her and her squad member Selena Gomez.
