Come sit next to me, I do too.

My mom used to say she was glad those two horny country bumpkins found each other.

[rustyspigot]

The censor must hear Ariana better than I can because I haven't understood a single word she was singing.

[Mountainair]

I don’t care about the ponytail. I still rock one when my hair is long enough. Usually I keep it too short for a pony. 
 

I can’t get down with any one singing or knocking off any version of “My Favorite Things” except for Julie. I change the station every time that song comes on the radio. 

side note: if it was up to me I’d only listen to true crime podcasts but they aren’t always appropriate in the car with my kids. My oldest is into music and we listen to top 40 together. It’s the only reason I’m here tonight. 
 

Eta: that and Lizzo.

Ummm, is this an awards show??!!??

[TVFan17]

Ariana is a pretty girl, but there was nothing in that specific performance that made me think "Now there's the voice of a generation" or whatever nonsense was uttered to introduce her. 

[mojoween]

Ummm, is this an awards show??!!??

Not any more.  Most of the awards have already been given out.

Duh, they've given out like 2 of them. Weren't you watching? LOL!

This show has always more performance and fewer awards. There are lists of the one that have been given out already 

[Fostersmom]

Who the hell is the back stage guy?

[MerBearHou]

I’m being sarcastic, of course.  Watching and waiting for an award here and there in person.  The fun is seeing them being surprised in the audience.  Lizzo’s acceptance speech was so good.

[rustyspigot]

The piano guy looks like Tom Schwartz from Vanderpump Rules.

[mojoween]

Lotta boobage all up on the Grammy stage tonight.

So this is my first time ever hearing Billie Eilish sing.  Not my thing.  Also her nails are gross.

[Fostersmom]

Did they mention Finneas won a Grammy tonight when they introduced them here? 

[Caseysgirl]

Billie Eilish has a lovely voice (I’m old so she’s not on my Radar) but those green fingernails look hard to maneuver if you have to do anything other than hold a microphone.

She's very young and the nails ages her in a bad way. Also, I can't understand a word. Hey you kids, get off my lawn. Geez. I feel so old. 

[Misslindsey]

I like Billie Eilish. Most of the time I see her perform she does not have the nails.

They just mentioned Billie's win. I was pleased when I saw Finneas won a Grammy as well.

[TVFan17]

Now, don't get me wrong.  I am an Aerosmith fan from way, way back.  I even loved the Steven Tyler seasons of American Idol because he was so wacky.  But they are not at their best these days.  They don't sound great. 

I still love them though.

Edited to add:  They improved on the second song.

That style of separating boobs in their dresses, looks good on no one - not even the people who can pay for better boobs.  It's a bad style.  Apparently, no one wants to say to anyone "Your boobs look really bad in that dress".

I can't understand what anyone is singing.

I love them! What did Tyler say to Lizzo? Step aside kiddos, this is my jam. 

[Fostersmom]

So Areosmith basically fired/suspended their drummer of 50 years because they said he couldn't keep up after an injury, but seriously the rest of them look like they are just bumbling along, you can't tell me he was that bad that they couldn't have let him join them. 

[DuckyinKy]

Flavor Flav!

[Caseysgirl]

Oh, come on! Yeah,I’m an out of touch old person but Aerosmith can still rock the house. And so can Run DMC. Give them their props.

[TVFan17]

Good job, Steven -- pull 2 girls up on the stage who don't know how to keep a beat when they dance. 

And I get a kick out of the shots of the audience trying to dance or pump their fists or whatever.  So funny.

[irisheyes]

I'm just surprised Steven Tyler is still able to speak in complete sentences. Pretty sure there are whole decades he can't remember.

They didn't sound great on the first song, but they improved on the second one.  But I'm a longtime fan of Aerosmith and bonkers Steven Tyler anyway, so I can forgive a lot when it comes to some bands/musicians if they have been around for many decades and have put in their time.

Yeah but he is twice as talented as some of the people we have seen tonight. However old they are, they can whip the crowd into a frenzy. 

[CherryMalotte]

I saw Aerosmith back in the 90's - next to AC/DC the loudest show I've ever been to.  But you could still understand everything that Steven sang.  I would have loved if they'd added Big Ten Inch Record...though you'd probably have to explain to some in the audience what a record was/is.

Dunno what the problem is, I understood Lizzo and Aerosmith but there's something off with the way some of the other stuff is being mixed.  I didn't understand a thing that Billie sang.

I am so jealous! I saw Elvis Presley 4 times, starting at the age of 13 until the year he died. There is a respect that goes with how an entertainer can grip an entire stadium. 

 

[Fostersmom]

They don't have time for a rare acceptance speech? 

[Caseysgirl]

Tyler the Creator bringing his mother on stage was touching.

[MerBearHou]

For as crazy as his performance was, Tyler the Creator’s acceptance speech was so genuine and down to earth.

That was all over the place and at one point I think Steven Tyler was singing the wrong lyrics. 

Tyler the Creator's mom for the win. 

[TVFan17]

This performance is wild!  It has everything -- country, K-pop, a kid, Billy Ray Cyrus, Kobe's jersey, etc. 

[anna0852]

Old Town Road is crazy!

[mtlchick]

If you were to tell me a year ago that Billy Ray Cyrus will return to the music scene with a vengeance I would have thought you were insane.

 

And yet he is part of Billboard history.  It's too bad that I think the song is HORRIBLE and don't get the appeal at all.

[ebk57]

That was lots of fun!

[Thumper]

Ugh —  Billy Ray Cyrus.

[Misslindsey]

I do not really like the song, but I think every time I see it performed it is entertaining as hell. Plus I like how Lil Nas X pisses of a lot of the people in country music.

[BuckeyeLou]

I have to admit, even as an "oldster", I get a kick out of "Ole Town Road" 🙂  Lil Nas seems to be enjoying himself & then seeing the BTS guys singing with him 🙂  It's a catchy song

[Misslindsey]

I will have the unpopular opinion that I do not get the appeal of BTS.

 

[mtlchick]

Demi Lovado is having an Adele moment.

I'm of that generation that boy bands need at most 5 members.

Yeah, I can't disagree. But I also know that 13 year old me would have known all their names, birthdays and favorite colors.

Now I'm jealous, I would have liked to have seen him.  One of my best shows was the Everly Brothers that my mother dragged me from my flu bed, stuffed me with meds, drove a state away to see because her friend she was supposed to have gone with couldn't at the last minute.  Top Five best shows ever.  

I think one does have to be a certain age to appreciate BTS.  Not that one can't like their songs, I still love a good pop tune.  You see I said GOOD pop tune.  When it's a rehash forget it.  Honestly, give out some awards for pity's sake.  I'd be interested to see the Grammy awards show from all the catagories like spoken word and the ones that Gary Clark Jr won, as was mentioned prior.

I can't stand DJ Khalid. 

[Fostersmom]

Another performance by Alicia? What the hell?
