The Grammys...

Patti Scialfa?...lol

I thought LL Cool J was an actor?... The Boss opens up with a pedestrian new song. C'mon, Bruce, come up with a new E Street Shuffle or something...... What's the over/under on Whitney tributes?  She kind of stole the "dead person of the year" thing from Amy and Etta..... Bonnie & Alicia Keys' Sunday Kind of Love tribute to Etta James was nicely understated.... Chris Brown singing????..... Beached Boys looked like zombies; was hoping for some magic; bad song choice, should have gone with simple, uptempo with some energy....  John Lennon must be turning in his grave listening to Macca do these old songs (props for Joe Walsh and Diana Krall though)... Hey, I like Bruno Mars (some nice James Brown moves).... Heartfelt ovation for Adele after performing Rolling In the Deep.  Great voice.  She doesn't have Amy Winehouse's edge and phrasing, but she's got plenty of soul (and she's alive)... Tribute to Glen Campbell (who toured as part of the Beach Boys back in the 60s) included Allen Toussaint's Southern Nights; and Glen was great... Bon Iver????  Who would have guessed?  Cool... Tony Bennett, is he still alive, hard to tell .....Hey, is that guy up there droning on about some bullshit the guy from CPTV????.... Now rolling the dead guys.... Well done, Jennifer Hudson, you didn't try to knock it out of the park.... shout outs to Don Cornelius and Gil Scott-Heron... Adele wins every award.... McCartney redeems himself with the finale.... And in the end, the love you take, is equal to the love you make....  good night  (New Yorker view)
