can someone please tell me to NEVER watch that crap ever again. i want 3 hours of my life back. The White Stripes performance was maybe the only highlight.
I was so mad after it was over, that i went and downloaded some music to feel better about what the music industry did to me.
and Radiohead won a grammy :)
-
I watched all 3 hours for the first time since I was a kid. It was pretty bad. White Stripes were great. I thought Robert Randolph was probably the best performer of the night. Foo Fighters with Chick Corea were also pretty good. I was actually pretty impressed with Christina Aguilwhatever during her performance. She actually had clothes on, which forced you to pay attention to her voice, which was damn nice. Then she came up to accept an award with her tits practically falling out, which caused her to lose what little respect she had just earned.
How funny was it when Celine Dion's microphone and ear monitor didn't work? I'll bet she's still yelling at someone about that.
And it's always a treat to see Bootsy. :)
-
Actually, I enjoyed more of the show than I thought I would. I haven't watched the grammies in about 6, 7 years because it has SO little to do with music I (or anyone I know) listen to.
But this year, I was home and too sleepy to do much else (after a long, busy, great weekend in NY); I kept hearing about that Clash tribute last year that was supposedly really cool; Foo Fighters were performing; and, I love the Outkast album and figured they'd dominate.
- I loved the opening with Prince and Beyonce. Don't care that she was there in particular (though her dress was cool), but they did three Prince classics, and he was on it. A cool opening I didn't expect.
- Foo Fighters with Chick Corea....'nuff said.
- Outkast was good, Justin Timberlake was interesting to me (he IS trying to be the white, seeing Stevie Wonder which I found funny and a little endearing), Sting did "Roxanne" and any Police song on t.v. is a good Police song. Plus he wore a skirt, which I found a hoot 'cuz it really looked like a skirt, not a kilt.
- The whole R&B, rap, funk explosion thing was cool, and I'm glad they're paying tribute to the whole genre, as it certainly dominates music today.
- Beatles tribute band was really lame (Dave Matthews -- eewww, some country guy, Sting and another guy I can't remember). President's Award to the band on the 40th anniversary of their US invasion, with Harrison and Lennon widows, was pretty good because they didn't do a whole hokey, long video montage or some shit. The widows and Ringo and Paul saying thanks. Classy. Ono a bit odd, but was moved by the plea for peace. Can't fault her for that.
- I like that the show was really dedicated to so many musical performances, many of which interestingly paired artists with one another. At least that makes them performances you'll never see anywhere else.
Hey, no one is more surprised than I that I didn't hate the telecast. Maybe I'm just getting old. :p

Forgot about that! Awesome -- though would have been better if her mike had never come on.
Also, White Stripes were fine; exactly the same performance I just saw at GW... He really can make that guitar scream, though, can't he?
I don't like the way Aguilera has to make every lyric bounce around across fifteen notes over three octaves. I just hate that kind of vocal.
-
Robert Randolph did kick some ass now that you mention it.
i wont ever watch the grammy's again. unless i get invited to go.
the Junos are much better.
-
So did anyone other than that hippity hoppity garbage and, "your 15 minutes are over, please leave by the nearest exit" Coldplay win anything?
We rented Johnny English, which was disapointing but still better than the gammies I know.
-
this was the first grammies i'd seen in awhile as well. and here is what we learned from them...
downloading music and nipples are naughty.
prince still has it, and george clinton not so much. sarah mclachlan's favorite zep album was "the song remains the same". and there is still a bit of spark in earth wind and fire.
someone needs to point out to Justin "Pat Boone wannabie" Timberlake. that corey feldmen, vanilla ice and jason kay have tagged as has beens. All that was missing last night was the goofy hat and digererdoo.
the beatles tribute was poorly executed. vince gill good choice, pharrell williams (of the neptunes) showed they were thinking outside the box. but come on was Sting the only bass player available? and just how crappy is Dave Matthews voice. Where was Jon Brion or Jason Falkner...
the only remotely political comment was made by a brit...
lastly the "hott" kiwi presenter was keith urban who is a country bumpkin
-
I only watched intermittently...the Dungeonmaster guy on Dateline was much more interesting trash TV fare...however I did catch the White Stripes which I found to be horrible noise...that Beatles tribute was heinous...and Celine... I agree about her and once her mic was working I had to turn it off...I caught another part of it where Beyonce was singing about "dangerous love" in some kind of picture frame set that was kinda cheesy, but the lyrics to the song were interesting to me...and Alicia Keyes doing the Luther song was aw-ight, if you like that...

I was real disappointed by this. I was hoping P-Funk would come out and tear the roof off the place and put all these rappers and crummy "contemporary r&b" folks in their place. But they didn't. EW&F was definitely much better. So much for "Let's Take It To The Stage".
Prince still rocks though.
-
and just so you know
the winner for Best Enigineered Album Non-Classical was Nigel Godrich for Hail To The Thief
i doubt that made the telecast, tho ;)

i wasn't paying close attention, but others have pointed out that jack's voice was in real rough shape last night. and i do believe that white stripes now have three members in the band with two female backup singers ;)

I never saw that movie, but they did a great job with the soundtrack. Great stuff.

The same can be said for Ricky Skaggs' mandolin playing.

ain't it grand that Evanescence won the grammies kiss of death award "best new artist"... joining the likes of sheena easton, milli vanilli

And Shelby Lynne and Norah Jones...both of whom are doing quite well.

Norah Jones hasn't released anything other than the album she won the award for.
Shelby Lynne?? I had to look her up.
Yeah, she's doing great. Her last album peaked at #165. Wow. She's really taking the world by storm.
-
the new norah comes out tomorrow just in time for valentines day giving... it will be interesting to see what it does sales wise.
the best new artist grammy has a reputation of being a career killer, men at work anyone? but there are cases where it doesn't completely kill 'em off i.e. sade
-
Still big enough to be playing a $25 show at the 9:30 club within the last six months.
Just because someone doesn't have huge mainstream success OR you cloistered little indie world doesn't mean that they don't have a solid, loyal fanbase or much critical acclaim.
I'll bet you'd have to look up half of the bands that sell out the 9:30 Club.

Best New Artist? It could be a curse
Damien McCaffery got it right in the current issue of Vibe.
In a piece titled "The Grammy Whammy," the associate editor went back in time and dissected the list of "best new artist" Grammy winners to determine whether the award was a blessing or a curse for the recipient.
Here's how McCaffery rated 10 former winners:
1990: Mariah Carey beat the Black Crowes, Kentucky Headhunters, Lisa Stanfield and Wilson Phillips. McCaffery's verdict: Blessing. "Carey's next nine records went platinum," he wrote.
1991: Memphis-based singer John Cohn beat Boyz II Men, C+C Music Factory, Color Me Badd and Seal. The verdict: Curse. "Cohn came from nowhere, grabbed the BNA and rapidly returned to nowhere."
1992: Hip-hop group Arrested Development beat Billy Ray Cyrus, Sophie B. Hawkins, Kris Kross and Jon Secada. The verdict: Curse. Their debut, "â??'3 years, 5 Months, and 2 Days in the Life of â??.â??.â??.' predicted the duration of our tolerance," McCaffery wrote.
1993: R&B singer Toni Braxton beat Belly, Blind Melon, Digable Planets and SWV. The verdict: Blessing. "After her self-titled debut, Braxton kept scoring with progressively sexier, cattier songs."
1994: Sheryl Crow beat Ace of Base, Counting Crows, Crash Test Dummies and Green Day. The verdict: Blessing. "Her follow-up (albums) sold well."
1995: S.C. pop-rock band Hootie and the Blowfish beat Brandy, Alanis Morissette, Joan Osborne and Shania Twain. The verdict: Curse. "After their 14-times platinum debut, 'Cracked Rear View,' album sales in '96, '98 and 2000 proved we were hootied out."
1996: Country singer Leann Rimes beat Garbage, Jewel, No Doubt, and the Tony Rich Project. The verdict: Blessing. "Rimes hit it big at 14 with 'Blue.' Two follow-ups also went multiplatinum."
1997: Pop singer Paula Cole beat Fiona Apple, Erykah Badu, Hanson and Puff Daddy. The verdict: Curse. "The swift demise of her 1999 CD answered the question 'Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?' By then, we were gettin' freaky with Barenaked Ladies."
1998: Lauryn Hill beat Backstreet Boys, Andrea Bocelli, Dixie Chicks and Natalie Imbruglia. The verdict: Blessing and Curse. "Hill's solo debut was a critical and commercial hit, but the stress of representing for all conscious sisters who look hot got to her."
1999: Pop diva Christina Aguilera beat Macy Gray, Kid Rock, Britney Spears and Susan Tedeschi. The verdict: Blessing. "Shockingly, judges chose the 'Teen Sexpot Who Could Actually Sing.'â??"

And Sheena Easton has a loyal fanbase and sells out shows in Branson, Vegas and Atlantic City on a regular basis.
The point was that the New Artist Award has the reputation of auguring a downfall from mainstream success.
Dumbass.

There's a difference between flaming a flamer and an unprovoked flame of a non-regular poster using the board to post an issue pertaining to the club - a distinction that is probably lost on someone of your limited mental capacity.
-
In other words, it's more ok to mock people you know than people you don't know. Brilliant.

And before this escalates into some kind of war, let me just say my my comments to Sonick were meant to be sarcastic, not serious.
He can call my wife a fatass all he wants. In spite of that, I've yet to meet anyone who posts on this board who has an ass that's anywhere near as nice as hers. I'll bet if Sonick ever meets her, he might even agree. :)

then quit getting all pissy-pants
she made a smart ass comment to me, i made one back. neither were very clever. end of story.
and i would bet my ass is ALMOST as nice as hers. ask markie, he likes it.
-
Where was Celeste dishing it out? Seems to me all she said was she didn't think much of Jack White's playing.
If you can find a thread where Celeste personally insulted Sonick with him having first insulted either her or myself (and if she did, I'm sure you can), then I stand corrected.

I am a lucky girl to have a man that comes to the defense of my ass. He knows what side his bread is buttered on, that's for sure.
No tears from me, though. I have numerous flaws, but my ass is not one of them.
I'm sorry, I just didn't find anything at all special about the Stripes performance last night, or Jack White's playing in particular.
