Anyone else think the performances were mediocre at best, and the mix was terrible. Where were the vocals? Very disappointing I thought. |

I turned the TV on to the broadcast tonight, saw Kanye, and immediately changed it to a King of the Hill re-run.

Anybody else notice the stuffed dog on top of his amp(s)? What's up with that? |

I know a lot of people here don't care, but they are the reason I picked up bass. |

and i was soooooooo looking forward to that mini hiphop summit, but a very pregnant MIA made for an incredibly uncomfortable and awkward to watch performance. aint nothin' like someone ready to pop to give your career street cred.
and of all of sir paul's massive catalog, he does that... boo.
seriously, does anyone take the grammies seriously anymore? |

|  | I'm a tumbler, born under punches | | Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: Northern California | | | Is there a less respected major awards show than the Grammys?
You can argue with who actually wins, but I'd argue that the Oscars generally does a good job of nominating the right films and actors, but with the Grammys it's a complete crapshoot. Sometimes they have groups in the complete wrong category.
And the winners are completely puzzling. Jethro Tull beating out Metallica for best metal album? A Taste of Honey beating out Elvis Costello for best new artist?
And while I liked the Allison Krause/Robert Plant album, it wasn't nearly as good as In Rainbows.
It's almost as if whoever chooses the winners is out of touch that they go with the older band. |

EXAR pedals rep for North & Central America | | Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: PDX, OR | | | I only glanced over my GF's shoulder now and then as she watched it... Amazingly terrible, every second of it. Was that Bobby Brown "rapping" with the guy from Coldplay? Easily the worst fake "rap" I've ever heard, far worse than Dee Dee Ramone. But it matched the equally low standard of Coldplay. And Whitney's drug-induced brain damage was way too evident.
And the fake "comic" patter of the announcing artists, barely able to read their unfunny lines off the TelePrompter... Gah. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
