Saw him and Allen Stone together in a show last summer. Just outstanding!

Not that I like remembering this, but I had tickets to see Gary, Buddy Guy, Trombone Shorty, a few more acts, and Foo Fighters at RFK stadium 2 summers ago.  And then I couldn't go.  I'm still scarred.

 

But I poured more wine.  All is good.

IDK. Sometimes, I think its okay to leave the kids at home. 

It's a long show. It's loud. It's not really targeted towards kids. If you can't stay in your seat, want to run on stage or empty the contents of your purse on the floor, you might be to young for the Grammys...or you might be Kayne West.

I think Blu Ivy has better manners than Kanye she at least didn't run on the stage.

This is the most boring Grammys I can remember.  With these incredibly talented performers, all of the music has seemed lackluster.   Even when they're belting out the songs or dancing their hearts out, the feeling -- to me and my household -- is just flat, nothing wow.  What's up?

Maren Morris looks like a country Selena Gomez. With, you know, actual talent. That said, this doesn't sound very good.

Alicia Keys what in the Chaka Khan hell is this shit? Damn. Am I the only person who hasn't really liked Alicia since her second album? And this performance is like a parade of old Beyonce looks. Alicia Keys looks like Work It Out Beyonce and Maren looks like Partition Beyonce.

Oh sorry I do not pay the best attention to the country awards. Also, a lot of these younger country music women look similar and all run together in my mind.

Honestly, I grew up listening to top 40 radio.  And Broadway show tunes.  I never liked country.  Then I met Mr ebk.  And I've developed a real appreciation and love of old time country music, and some new stuff, in the past 25 years. 

 

And I adore Adele.

You know, it's sad that three of the men who sort of expanded the definition of sexuality for male pop stars -- Prince, George Michael, and David Bowie -- all passed away last year.

Aww, Adele. We still love you. Had it been most other singers we'd be hating, but it's you. So we're still good, boo.

Fucking eh, I love GM, couldn't they find a more iconic song and do a medley or something?   Why something so down.  I think  Freedom would've been a great song, ugh.  UGHHHHHHHH.  I STAYED UP FOR THIS!!!!!

THIS.  Whatever you want to say about Gaga, at least her tribute to Bowie last year was upbeat and had some fun.  This 1) made me more sad that he's gone and 2) angry that THIS was the best song to honour him.  Give me some Wham! Give me "Outside" for kicks!  GIVE ME FREEDOM 90 which redefined him as an artist. 

I'm glad Adele had the balls to say "Eff this, we need to start over" and seemed relieved that it was over.  But I'm thinking this was a major miss on the tribute.

This is pretty, but a bit of a dirge. George was fun. I think he would want us to have fun with his tribute. 

I'll blame it on the overall poor sound of the production, but I thought Adele sounded like she was passing a kidney stone.

And seriously, I get that this is a tribute to someone who has passed away, but tributes don't have to be maudlin. And if they are going to do one song for George Michael, how is it not Freedom 90, which is not only a classic, but also essentially his personal artistic manifesto? It would have been a far more fitting and touching tribute.
