The 54th Annual Grammy Awards - Watch with Us!

[*NikkiBell*]

Anyone else watching the Grammy's? I think that LL Cool J is doing an AMAZING job at both recognizing Whitney's passing and celebrating what she loved most, music.

I am very, very, VERY excited to see Adele back. She looks amazing; I can tell she has lost some weight which might be due to her recovery after her surgery (she ruptured a vocal chord). I also see her new man is next to her! You go, girl!!!

What a great show it will be tonight! Share your reactions here!

Eh...

Pop music has not changed much in 300 years. It is all still I-V-I-V-I-V-I-IV-V7-I

BRING ON THE TONY's!!!!

WOW at the nominees for the first one! GOOOOOOOOOO ADELE!!!! Totally love her shoes, too.

EDIT: Disgusted to see Chris Brown on now. I am turning it off until he is done.

As a horn player, I prefer the off beat.

That explains most horn players!

The Grammys is only about pop music? Huh. That's news to me. I guess somebody should tell...

Taylor Swift
Jay Z
LL Cool J
Lady Antebellum
Tony Bennet
Kayne West


...and a few others.

Um Pop Music means, "Popular Music." That encompasses all normal things you hear on the radio including Jazz, Standards and Country, plus the others. (And Taylor Swift is a noise maker not a singer).

Here is a real hit from the 14th Century,

Sir Georg Solti

I only have 15 of the recordings. Some won in more than one category though.

Did you look it up?

I'm with you on every point so far - especially being disappointed that Chris brown is apparently back. I don't find him to be a good musician, and I wish his blacklisting had been permanent!

Here's a challenge dh gave me - I've already failed. Count how many times LL licks his lips during the show. He should be severely chapped!

Unbelievable. Let's award a domestic abuser with an award.

Agree.

 

[disprincessatheart]

Ugh - Chris brown.

On a much better note, Adele sounds great! really like her new hairstyle too!
