The Official Grammy Thread

[tjkjat]

Excellent performance...no standing O bothered me too...but 2 for 2 so far in awards.....everyone is lucky U2 wasnt up for Album of the Year.....couldnt they have gotten someone better than queen latifah?

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Queen Latifah

I think I'll be downloading some Alicia and Queen Latifah into my iPod tonight.


Edge sighting!

 

[gorman]

good performance but it should have been something upbeat for the sake of the audience. Gorman...are you working on uploading video?

Unfortunately, I have no way of capturing video (working on that!).

Audio is here: http://72.21.39.154/U2-2005_Grammys-SYCMIOYO

(add . m p 3 to the end... minus the spaces)

thanks gorman

Joss Stone is hot...Marron 5..better than Kanye West

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? MAROON 5 OVER KANYE WEST?

Maybe they just wanted Maroon 5 to have the kiss of death.

 

[anitram]

Maroon 5 is possibly the worst band making music today. They are heinous and unlistenable.

Kanye West was robbed. What a joke.

 

[AtomicBono]

Man, look at the emotion and power he's putting into that... amazing.

 

[tjkjat]

Sometimes is such a powerful song..can he sing with that much emotion on each night of the tour? I say yes

 

[Queen Bee]

[madonna's child]

Sometimes probably wasn't the best choice for audience response. But I loved it, and that's all that matters!

 

[Dragonfave]

Alicia Keys/Jamie Foxx performance >>>>>>>>>>>>> U2's performance.

I know I'm gonna get killed for saying this but...
1. Nobody knew the song. They should have played Vertigo! One thing is the ipod commerciasl and another is hearing them play it live.
2. Am I the only one who sees this or does this album(except 4 Vertigo) not sound good played live! I thought tonights performance proved it. It was good, but not great. And we're used to great when it comes to U2 live. I've heard ABOY,SYCMOYO,COBL, & OOTS and none have sounded great.
Bono's voice was up to the task but musically it didn't have the energy it has on the album. And what was up with the loud ass backing track!

 

[njelevation06]

yeah that backing track was wayyy too loud

 

[miss becky]

Thank you Queen Bee!!

 

[tjkjat]

I disagree salim.............love this song...cant get enough of it live

 

[njelevation06]

yeah that backing track was wayyy too loud

 

[CDragon]

[Yahweh]

I think it was good of them to play something different just shows the power of this record for next year.

 

[fmattyh]

BTW... one of those southern rock guitarrist looked like OSCAR from ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT

Oh, I love you so much for saying that. Is that not the greatest show you've ever seen? I missed U2's performance because AD was on at the same time. AD always wins. (BTW, everyone watch this show every Sunday at 8:30, or else it's going to get cancelled. DO IT. And buy the DVDs. Or borrow mine. Seriously, it is the greatest television show of all time and it is going to be pulled because you're not watching. Can you really live with yourself after that? I know I can't.

 

[u2head]

I only saw the last 2 seconds of the performance. Can't wait for the video, Gorman.

BTW, who introduced U2?

 

[UnforgettableLemon]

Quentin Tarantino... myhomeboy

 

[Bono's shades]

I thought Bono really delivered the goods vocally, but Sometimes just isn't a good song to play live to a bunch of people who may not have heard it before. It takes a long time to build up to the big knock-out punch at the end. Vertigo would have been a better choice.

Woo-hoo, here comes Green Day!

 

[tjkjat]

Qunetin..stick to the flicks

 

[tjkjat]

Quentin..stick to the flicks

i've heard vertigo, all because of you, miracle drug, sometimes you can't make it on your own, city of blinding lights & original of the species...

... each one sounded great, each one brought goosebumps to my skin.

 

[miss becky]

Thank you CDragon! Got it just fine.

 

[pepokiss]

GREEN DAY!!!!!!!!!!!
