Did the announcer just say this band was nominated for best new artist? I hope they don't win not really my style. besides, I think Arcade Fire and Bloc Party are nominated in that category...

Inquiring minds want to know

Chris Martin has HAIR now?! When did that happen? He looks a LOT better! I don't think he's ugly anymore. But where did it come from, I thought he was bald? Oh well it doesn't matter. He looks good and I don't care how it happened.

 

[U2Kitten]

[ramblin rose]

[trevster2k]

Here we go!!!!!!

 

[bcrt2000]

VERTIGO!

 

[pattip2000]

what does vertigo make you want to do?

 

[STING2]

U2 are miles away from the record lol

Not really, U2 now have 19 Grammy awards and the record is 31. One or two more Grammy awards shows and they will have it!

Alright U2 are on, VERTIGO!

 

[trevster2k]

Easy on the smoke, dude!!!

 

[thelaj]

wont people think U2 are irrelevant by playing Vertigo (released october 04?) and One (released 1991)

 

[U2fan05]

they cut out a verse

 

[Axver]

what does vertigo make you want to do?

Skip to another song.

 

[trevster2k]

They are playing a duet with Mary J blige too, that's why they played a shortened version.

The Grammy voters love U2, but who cares it's all subjective. It's all about great music.

Don't know if I agree with that. I doubt they will win 10 for their next two albums. but if they do - excellence

 

[namkcuR]

What the fuck?! They skipped over the entire bridge and the solo! Why!!?!?

 

[Imarocker]

you missed the announcement for Stevie Wonder--24 grammys

I could do without mjb butchering ONE

 

[DaveC]

This is a terrible, terrible version of One.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

what does vertigo make you want to do?

The version they just played makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

 

[namkcuR]

MJB is ruining the song. Period.

 

[thelaj]

One thing is for sure - this version of vertigo is now unique (?) and therefore must be had in our collections lol.

 

[trevster2k]

This is at least the third time she has sang this live. As Bono says, she is bringin this song to church. I love it!!!!

 

[U2DMfan]

the concert for New Orleans version blows this version into the next galaxy.

average at best
