2011 Grammy Awards Viewing Thread

John Legend always looks good. He's a sexy bitch.

I'll go with this statement.

To be honest, I thought Legend might have done a Teddy Pendergrass tribute.

Instead, we got....

THAT'S what Mick's here for? Aww.

So do they only do the deaths that occur in the Grammy calendar year or is Gerry Rafferty not significant enough for them? J/W

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Yup... mick fucking jagger.

 

[Moonlit_Angel]

I heard one of Gerry' songs playing in the background, I thought he was mentioned.

I swear Mick weighs about 80 pounds or something.

[bono_212]

He sounds pretty great tonight. The last few things I've seen him do live were not so good, but he's having a fucking great time out there tonight.

Bull's blood is a hell of a drug.

Fixed.

 

[Bono's shades]

I love how everyone in the audience is all "OMG, Mick Jagger!!!" It's cute.

 

[bono_212]

Fixed.

Whoops. That's what I get for posting while I'm watching TV.

After winning Song of the Year, I'm convinced that Lady Antebellum will win Album and Record of the Year. They're the old fogey, most conservative choice that nearly always wins this thing.

Also, I wanted to point out that Big Star actually won a Grammy. Best album notes...although you can't help but think Alex Chilton's death may have helped lead to this honor. LemonMelon must be stoked.

 

[gvox]

Wow they just couldn't give that guitar player any love huh?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

This would be a bad time to tell the biebs that Mick nailed his nana

 

[Got Philk?]

I have been trying to get onto Esparanza Spalding's website since she won to find out who she is...and I believe so is the rest of America because I haven't made it there yet.

That, Neil winning his first, and the Academy creating an artist specifically to destroy Bieber makes this a wonderful night.

Buy that box set, bitches. It's got Big Star music on it, and apparently good liner notes.

Does anyone know why Cee Lo can qualify for a Grammy but Kanye can't...I mean timing-wise? Wasn't Kanye's album out first?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Drake makes some tasty cakes

 

[Got Philk?]

Did anyone see this when it happened? I did...

Fuck You came out in August, and the Ladykiller came out two weeks before MBDTF.

People always keeping the rappin' white man down. Good job, Grammys.

Fuck.

Kind of sums up the whole night for him.

 

[mobvok]

wasn't there some tomfoolery with ATYCLB's release date so the album cycle of singles + LP covered both the 2002 and 2003 awards?

 

[corianderstem]

I saw a clip of Xtina falling at the end of her song, too.

 

[PhilsFan]

So when does Arcade Fire play?

 

[bono_212]

So when does Arcade Fire play?

Sounds like they're the closer before Album of the Year.

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

This drake character does nothing for me.

 

[corianderstem]

I will never not be able to think about Degrassi when I see or hear him. Sorry, Jimmy Drake.

Ah, it's finally starting on the west coast. Now I get to make the same comments that have already been made!

Did anyone else catch the Gaga interview on 60 Minutes? It kind of ruled.

 

[Bono's shades]

This drake character does nothing for me.

I'm guessing he owes 90 percent of his career to his good looks.

 

[BigMacPhisto]

It will be sad if Arcade Fire gives a rousing performance, only to lose Album of the Year to Lady Antebellum ninety seconds later.

Not that it's too big of a deal though. I didn't really dig The Suburbs much. It lacked the catchiness of the first two albums, feeling a little pompous, condescending and overlong. Although, a few of the tracks stand up with their best.

"Fuck You" was actually my favorite track of 2010, so fingers still crossed. It's rare that the Grammys can ever coincide with my favorite in a category from a given year.

 

[PhilsFan]

I know a guy who looks just like Drake.

Hey, Mark Anthony! You're still around. That's ... something.
