I don’t think I’m her demographic either. 35 with three kids. But I love my flute and old school rap which is what she reminds me of. Plus her voice is killer! I generally like people to be covered up. Fat, skinny, in between. But I appreciate her body positive image that she preaches. Everyone should feel comfortable in their own skin. And again..... FLUTE!!!!! 

I played flute and piccolo too! 

[Caseysgirl]

I think Alicia is handling a very uncomfortable night for the Grammy’s in appropriate way. Not an easy job. Thank god Ricky Gervais isn’t hosting!

Welcome to the Alicia Keys show....

Yeah, I'm not even sure what the hell she's trying to do at this point. It's just seeming almost needy? 

And yes, Kobe's death is shocking and tragic, but the constant bringing it up is just feeling gross now. 

And for the love of god, who was asking the Jonas Brothers to come back, other than the oldest one who no one wanted to see as a solo act? 

[TVFan17]

No offense to the Jonas Brothers, but.. when is the segment where someone (is it Usher, maybe?) is going to talk about Prince?  Prince was a massive talent, and the loss of his presence and star quality at these sorts of shows is greatly felt.

Honestly I didn't understand why the Jonas Bros cancelled an interview on the red carpet because of Kobe's death. Like, what?

I just read that Gary Clark Jr won 3 awards in the early show for his "This Land" album. This makes me very happy

They did? I did not watch the red carpet. I am surprised since Nick and Priyanka seem to be media whores.

Okay, that's just famewhoring at it's worst. And one of their wives, Priyanka, tweeted an RIP and put his number on her finger nail in what looked to be sharpie. 

[Misslindsey]

I do love me some Trevor Noah.

Re: Taylor the Creator

What in the world am I watching?  

[DuckyinKy]

I'm sorry, this is a terrible performance. 

[rustyspigot]

And the ANTM Miss Jay dancers.

[Bees52]

So.. uh, what genre of music was that last performance supposed to be? I was good with the Boys to Men and Charlie Wilson part but then it turned into Night of a Thousand blond wigs and I got scared confused.

[SHD]

The Tyler performance reminded me of the year some awards show had a performance with an army of Slim Shadys who also entered through the audience aisles.

[mojoween]

The voiceover guy said that Usher will be giving a tribute “to the artist who will always be known as Prince”.

Ummm...isn’t that his NAME?

Maybe he is still stuck in the days when he was a "symbol"?

[DuckyinKy]

Usher is doing a great job. 

But if Alicia Keys drags out each intro we are going to be here all night. 

[mojoween]

Oops it was the voiceover lady, not the guy.  My point stands though!

Usher has never really been my bag, but this haircut and the facial fur and all of this are making me rethink that stance.

I don’t know if I noticed it last year but holy balls is Alicia self-involved.  Good god woman, Taylor Swift called and said to tone it down a notch.

[TVFan17]

Usher messed up the lyrics in Little Red Corvette, but that's okay.  It's better than the Jonas Brothers.

[Fostersmom]

Is Usher doing his Michael Jackson impression of Prince? 

[Bees52]

Ah... if only Prince were still here to enjoy this tribute. Hope he's smiling from the great beyond.

You are obviously in my head!

Oh, Prince, why did you have to leave us?   Clearly no one can quite take your place.

Hey - at least it wasn't Madonna. Am I right?

[TVFan17]

Well, at least Tyler the Creator (or whatever his name is) wasn't the one doing the Prince tribute.

[Misslindsey]

I must be an idiot, but I always thought that Tyler the Creator was a comedian.

He’s not? Could have fooled me with that Talking Heads Bowie rip-off performance. 

 I’m not sure what vibe they were going for with Usher, stripper tribute maybe?

[rustyspigot]

At least she isn't singing to her fake boyfriend.

[DuckyinKy]

It does not look like Camila Cabello is singing live. Her poor father. He is crying. 

[rustyspigot]

When did Tanya Tucker start looking like Dolly after a two week bender?

Ha! Had the same convo with my husband. I told him he was probably thinking of Cedric the Entertainer. 

[TVFan17]

I remember when Tanya Tucker and Glen Campbell were a hot item.

[Nordly Beaumont]

A note to Tanya Tucker's makeup team; if you lose her blush - don't substitute bronzer.

Edited January 27, 2020 by Nordly Beaumont

[rustyspigot]

Congrats, "Chave Jappell" on your comedy win.

[Misslindsey]

Ben Platt!? I love Ben Platt. I saw him in Dear Evan Hansen awhile back. I am going to be mad if he is not singing.

I must be a horrible person, because I thought the Camila Cabello performance was verging on creepy. I guess my cold, black heart was not warmed by it.

[Thumper]

My 28-yr-old son says Tyler the Creator is awesome.  

[Twilight Man]

I was wondering why Ellen was there.

So......  the one year that Weird Al does NOT have a new album "dropping",

that's the year that Grammy actually decides to SHOW the Comedy category.

Anyway, congrats, Dave; you the funniest out of all of the people this year.

 I swear one half of her face looked like it was deeply bruised under all the makeup.

Come sit next to me, I do too.

[Fostersmom]

Oh now we are just going to lick Arianna's ass. 

[TVFan17]

Oh no.  Ariana Grande and her ponytail.   I can't deal with her.   I don't care about her voice.  Bring back Tyler the Creator.🤣

Edited January 27, 2020 by TVFan17

[ebk57]

Arianna looks very shiney 

[Misslindsey]

I always think Ariana needs to enunciate more. I just do not care for Ariana at all.

[rustyspigot]

Good old marble mouth.

That money choreography was lame as hell.

[Caseysgirl]

A poster up thread mentioned that Ariana will only be photographed on one side and now that’s all I can concentrate on is catching her when she exposes the other side during this performance. I’m thinking it must be hideous.
