No Grammys Thread?

[Stratman50th]

I suppose everyone, like me, found better things to do, such as watching paint dry.

Yup...

They don’t even televise the rock awards anymore. Sad.
They are given out the night before.

I didn’t watch, but was thrilled to see one my favorites “unknown blues singer” win Song of the Year. Well deserved.

My grandkids do call me Grammy if that merits anything.

DW is also "Grammy" and she's def a winner
I haven't watched any of it yet (it's on the DVR.) DW watched and said it was better than the past few years. I've heard of many of the winners, but not actually familiar with the music.

I gave up the Grammys like 20 years ago. I don't follow popular music.

"Unknown Blues singer?" What the....? Are they serious with this?

In Bonnie Raitt unknown in the UK? Sure wouldn't think so.

Yeah, I wouldn't think so. I saw some others grousing about her win over the all the kids, but they knew who she was!

Well, I think everyone should win an award over Taylor Not-so-swift, but that's just me. But today was a fairytale, today was a fairytale, today was a fairytale...

I DVR'ed the Grammies. Will watch (and fast forward through a lot) when I have time. DH and I are always commenting that we are old and don't know a lot of the music, but we do know Bonnie Raitt!

Unfortunately, yes.

She’s a legend. If you get a chance check out the song. It was inspired by organ donation, so have a few tissues handy.

I feel like she looked so shocked because when Jill Biden announced the winner, she didn’t even say Bonnie Raitt’s name, just the song name. That bugged me.

I watched some of it. Stevie Wonder was great! On the other hand, Harry Styles seemed drunk or stoned or something, he acted like he didn't even want to be there. And Madonna has destroyed her face with plastic surgery.

I really enjoyed Brandi Carlyle, Smoky Robinson/Stevie Wonder and the Sheryl Crow/Bonnie Raitt/Mick Fleetwood in Memoriam performance.

Yeah, I thought Harry’s singing was weak and off key.

Grandson's nanny called out sick today so I have been busy, but I did manage to see Brandi and Stevie/Smoky so far.

Knew Beyonce tickets were going on sale, so I got on Ticketmaster a few days ago to buy my tickets for Clannad. There's a name not many will recognize!

Even I know who Bonnie Raitt is. And no, there wasn't some grousing on social media, there seems to be huge outrage. I find that shocking.

Enjoy! I’d love to see Clannad.

Not that well known, really. I've heard of her, but don't know any of her music and didn't recognise her in the photo. I'd wager many people I know don't know who she is., either. American country music is growing in popularity over here (I have a few albums), but it's still not in the forefront, I wouldn't say. People are probably more familiar with Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, etc.. ...And, of course, Dolly.

ETA: "Unknown blues singer" is probably a stretch, though.
