Yeah, from what little I've heard from him, I think he might fit more kind of in the Allman Brothers' mold, maybe? Kind of that country-rock thing that was big among some artists in the '70s. 2 Link to comment

Slade347 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 That production manager was so nervous her microphone was shaking. I don't care much one way or the other about Billie Eilish but I for sure love that shirt she's wearing. 10 Link to comment

Annber03 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 That Japanese Breakfast song sounded kinda catchy, I may need to check that out. Reminds me a bit of some of the teen pop stuff I listened to back in the day. 3 Link to comment

I know the names of most of the nominees and performers and presenters, but couldn’t sing a note of 99% of any of the songs mentioned tonight. I laughed at Trevor Noah’s joke about what Finneas’s last name is, because The Grammys stepped all over the punchline by giving his full name in the next category. What is his full name? Is his name really Finneas? 1 1 Link to comment

Slade347 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 I hate to be one of those people, but there really should have been more of a reaction in that crowd to Joni Mitchell being there. 18 Link to comment
twoods April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 (edited) Trevor Noah is really doing a good job considering he can’t say anything bad about anyone. oops I thought they said Belinda Carlisle instead of Brandi Carlile. Sorry guys! I need a glass of wine. Edited April 4, 2022 by twoods 9 Link to comment

vb68 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 (edited) Good on the Grammys for giving Zelensky some time. Regardless of John Legend's tribute, that sends a message. I thought the Oscars messed up by not doing that last week. Edited April 4, 2022 by vb68 14 Link to comment
ProudMary April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 I haven't watched the Grammys for quite a few years now but I decided to watch tonight and so far, I'm really glad I did. I liked the opener with Bruno Mars and Anderson Paak a lot. I'd heard Olivia Rodrigo's name but hadn't heard any of her music. I want to hear that whole album now because I thought she was terrific. Brandi Carlile is a favorite of mine and, of course, she did not disappoint. I don't listen to what passes for Country Music nowadays, but I am familiar with some of Chris Stapleton's music and "Cold" was definitely one of my favorite songs in 2021. I don't consider it a "country" song though, to me, it's more a blues song, but I think it transcends genre. So far, it's a very good show and Trevor Noah's doing well as its host. 12 Link to comment

ProudMary April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 I'm enjoying these "play us out" performances from the rooftop, so some of the genres that don't normally make the main show have an opportunity to be heard. I'll probably listen to the full performances online after the main show ends. 15 Link to comment

ebk57 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 (edited) I love this song so much...what a perfect choice for this segment (even with Ben Platt singing) (That was in reference to "Not a Day Goes By"...although I also love "Send in the Clowns") Edited April 4, 2022 by ebk57 3 Link to comment

mojoween April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 Sigh. The In Memoriam section should solely be for the performers who have passed on. Not focusing on live singers singing god. Like some of the names I can’t even see because the camera is panned back. 13 Link to comment

Slade347 April 4, 2022 Share April 4, 2022 I guess it shows you where rock ranks with the Grammys these days that Taylor Hawkins' tribute is a little video clip and then Charlie Watts barely gets two seconds in the middle of the Memoriam montage. 3 Link to comment
