MERGED ---> All Grammy discussion goes here.

[WildHoneyAlways]

Honestly, the first thing I thought during One was that he threw his back out during Vertigo. He was off.

Didn't they change the key for MJB?

 

[bonofox]

sir paul ABSOLUTELY OWNS the grammys tonight
....bono's voice was crap...vertigo was mediocre at best...mary j saved One...but were still on a roll

Ya it could be worse, u2 could be losing...

 

[namkcuR]

Uh, no. Jay-Z is junk and Linkin Park are awful, purely awful. I can't believe McCartney performed with them - I thought there was a Biblical commandment against that.

But the thing is, it t sounded pretty good. Don't judge what you haven't heard. I know you don't like the Beatles, but Yesterday is one of the greatest pop songs ever written bar none period. You can't go wrong with it.

 

[LMP]

Vertigo was neutered because of the solo and bridge being knocked out so that was unfair

and they performed with MJB, who is cool and all, but drowns Bono out in every live performance

Macca had 2 unchanged songs, and the random appearance w/ Jay-Z and Linkin Park

what is going on there?

 

[Axver]

so can somebody explain how Jay Z and Linkin Park didn't ruin Yesterday?

My guess is they didn't ruin it, they butchered it.

I hope I never have to hear this. Just the thought is bad enough. And I don't even like McCartney, but come on, Jay-Z and Linkin Park?!

 

[bcrt2000]

i thought the performance was great, but u2 were basically running through the motions with "ONE" like they were doing the whole tour.

MJB took it over the top.

yup.. which is what made "One" so good

[STING2]

Song Of The Year award should be next.

 

[joyfulgirl]

As much as I love U2, Vertigo was sub-par and One was worse, would've been pure awful if MJB hadn't arrived. Bono's voice honestly sounded terrible, was there something wrong? My mother asked if he was on drugs...

Maybe painkillers for the back?

 

[angelordevil]

Springsteen is the real deal...he's awesome

 

[Irvine511]

I knew that and yet it's still hard for me to hear. I thought it was ... not good. Something was wrong with Bono, too.

yes, bono's off tonight.

he admited as much.

poor thing. nothing a few shows in brazil won't fix.

 

[Got Philk?]

I'll take this over John Mayer any day.


Random point of the night by me...

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

My guess is they didn't ruin it, they butchered it.

I hope I never have to hear this. Just the thought is bad enough. And I don't even like McCartney, but come on, Jay-Z and Linkin Park?!

yea let's rip apart something we didn't even hear... 'cause that makes sense.

what's next... are we gonna go looking for weapons of mass destruction that we've never seen? let's not get crazy now

 

[westendgirl]

why does tom hanks look like a freak?


its his hair...

Looks exactly like Bono's if you ask me...

 

[martha]

Ok. My dog just burped.

Has Bruce been on yet? I don't want to read through a bazillion posts.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Didn't they change the key for MJB?

I don't know. But when I said he was off I meant not just vocally, everything.

 

[Babydoll]

bruce is now, but no sing of edgie w him there...

 

[RademR]

the crowd loved the performance for "One." I thought it was great, also liked the shout out from Kanye in his thank you speech.

Linkin Park sucks, but Jay-Z is the man

 

[U2MaNaIcWeIdO]

Ok. My dog just burped.

Has Bruce been on yet? I don't want to read through a bazillion posts.

Just right now.

 

[Axver]

yea let's rip apart something we didn't even hear... 'cause that makes sense.

Give me one example of Jay-Z and Linkin Park doing something even mediocre (it doesn't have to be good! Just plain mediocre, I'll take it!), and I'll retract my post.

Oh, wait, YOU CAN'T.

 

[bcrt2000]

woo.. bono with the cowboy hat

 

[bonofox]

Aww theres our B!

 

[victor_f]

Who's the blond with Bono??

 

[joyfulgirl]

yes, bono's off tonight.

he admited as much.

poor thing. nothing a few shows in brazil won't fix.

Oh, we didn't get to that part here in mountain time yet.

 

[cerveza]

who was the blond sitting between Larry and Bono?

 

[Liesje]

OK I just saw Tom Hank's hair and thought "Tom what have you done (or not done) to your head?" Then I realized he's got the same cut as Bono!

 

[Irvine511]

oooh ... song of the year.

Destiny's Child looks more and more like Gemini's Twin everyday.

 

[LMP]

did you see them cut to U2 on accident?

are they first? or the winners?

 

[Babydoll]

saw bono again!!! who was that lady next to him??

 

[namkcuR]

Give me one example of Jay-Z and Linkin Park doing something even mediocre (it doesn't have to be good! Just plain mediocre, I'll take it!), and I'll retract my post.

Oh, wait, YOU CAN'T.

Dude, at least give this performance of Yesterday a listen before you bash it. It wasn't bad at all. You are coming off as very snobbish.
