Grammy Nominations 12-02-09

[ClaytonsKitten]

I'll never identify myself as a Taylor fan, especially if her future output is as crappy as Today Was A Fairytale, but it's hard not to cheer for her.

Also, You Belong With Me was one of my favorite songs of the year. No caveats, no shame; it's fucking good. I was more than a little put off (albeit unsurprised) by one of the whiniest, most overblown ballads of the decade knocking off such a pure, catchy pop song for record of the year.

Srsly. You Belong With Me has been on playlists of mine all damn year. I love it and wish it had been around for me to sing into MY hairbrush when I was in high school...

 

[corianderstem]

Yeah, but she has a great voice.

She does have an amazing voice. Too bad about the music, though.

 

[U2_Jackie]

I just can't believe they are overlooked. Grammys suck.

lol I don't like the Grammys anymore either. But this last performance for Haiti is AWESOME. this is a great performance and mary j. blige is an amazing singer.

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

I'm starting to lose faith in the music industry as a whole. Everything is about plugging and collaborations. When did it stop becoming about the music?

 

[Stryke]

Good performance, but I don't like M.J. Blige

 

[lauramullen]

That was amazing. Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli

 

[ClaytonsKitten]

Good performance, but I don't like M.J. Blige

I never cared much for her, but really quit liking her when she butchered "One".

MJ was the man. Not at the time of his death, but much of his output is undeniably significant and high quality. His voice breaks my heart every time I hear it these days.

I agree on all fronts. Sucks that Taylor is notoriously pitchy live. YBTM and the Romeo Juliet song (whatever it's called) have been guilty pleasures of mine on the radio for the last year. And with MJ----I feel the same way. It's almost hard to hear his spoken voice now...

Between the Earth Song performance and the speech from his children, I ended up in tears... I can't help but imagine what could have been if that tour had kicked off...

 

[corianderstem]

I love a lot of pop, but Taylor is not my kind of pop. I don't care for her. But good for her for all her success.

Is she winning pretty much everything so far tonight?

 

[U2_Jackie]

Dave Matthews!! I LOVE him and "You and Me" is one of my favorite songs!!!

 

[lauramullen]

I love DMB too. They are one of my favorite bands. I've seen them live every summer since 1999.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Is she winning pretty much everything so far tonight?

Yes, so far she has won "Outstanding Human Being", "Best American Songwriter Ever", "Biggest Sweetheart of All Time", and "Best Country Album."

She has won 3 total nothing in a major category and has been beaten by Beyonce a couple times.

 

[GirlsAloudFan]

Yeah, it's looking like Beyonce's gonna take home "Album of the Year." The momentum seems to be in her favor. Oh well.

 

[corianderstem]

Wow, I'm surprised - I thought Taylor was going to take 'em all home. She's won everything else under the sun this year.

 

[OrARoundabout]

Hope Gaga takes home Best Album, she deserves it.

Good for the Kings of Leon, I'm a huge fan and even though "Use Somebody" isn't one of their best songs, at least they are getting some sort of recongnition...

As for U2, NLOTH was a huge letdown in my opinion...oh well, better next time guys

 

[LemonMelon]

Maxwell stole U2's light strands when they weren't around.

 

[AiRMaRcI9o0]

Pretty Wings...more like pretty boring.

 

[trojanchick99]

You know your awards show is too long when it isn't over when it starts on the West Coast. GaGa and Sir Elton performed that is likely to be the highlight of the night.

 

[corianderstem]

Stephen Colbert is pretty funny. "Stay away from Katy Perry." ha!

 

[trojanchick99]

"A 48 year old Scottish cat lady in sensible shoes" hilarious.

 

[OrARoundabout]

^He's a very funny man!


OMG OH HAI QUENTIN! WHERE'S ELI?

 

[Stryke]

Jeff Beck was awesome, that was probably the highlight performance for me.

 

[lauramullen]

I saw Jeff Beck at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame Show. He was awesome.

 

[trojanchick99]

^He's a very funny man!


OMG OH HAI QUENTIN! WHERE'S ELI?

I could answer that very inappropriately but I shall refrain.

Oh and I really think 21 Guns is a boring song.

 

[corianderstem]

Seriously, this is a lot of fuss for such a crappy song.

 

[lauramullen]

A little too much profanity in this Eminem thing.

 

[trojanchick99]

Seriously, this is a lot of fuss for such a crappy song.

They should not have tried to recreate the awesomeness that was American Idiot, it was doomed to failure.
