I usually don't watch the Grammys, as I know I'll just get annoyed. But, I went in tonight with an open mind and figured I'd give it a chance.
Most of it was meh, although I always like seeing Eminem do his thing. But Talyor Swift's performance was just god-awful. She can't sing! Are they kidding me??
The "Bridge over Troubled Water" cover was pretty painful to listen to, as well. When you try to mix genres like R&B and Opera, it usually doesn't end up well.

Every year the Grammys get worse and worse...........
Album of the year should have gone to Fleet Foxes, Flaming Lips or Animal Collective...................call me old fashioned..........
But the Grammys each year become more about fashion, shock and awe and less about music.
That said, Mary J and Placido did a very nice performance....and the MJ tribute was decent.

The Grammys (and really all award shows for that matter) have not been relevant for years.

Was Eminem's performance wonderful? I didn't think so, about a quarter of it was bleeped anyway................

Was anyone else struck by the enormity of the talent gap between Stevie Nicks and Taylor Swift during "Rhiannon"? Just another example of how low the bar has been set these days.

When Taylor Swift did her first verse, I actually cringed. She was completely out of tune.

How do they decide on album of the year anyways? I suspect total record sales has something to with it and I think Taylor Swift sold a ton so, if that's the case, it makes sense to me.

She would win. Really, all she is is a little teenager with no vocals singing catchy shallow songs. Apparently having a huge widespread of high school fans pays off.

most useless award ever. it's based on record sales almost entirely. also, there are over 100 awards so everyone in the industry except for like 5 people wins something.

I am almost convinced it's a way to boost up t.v ratings by giving away cheap decor.

I have to say, there is one good thing about tonight. At least the ridiculousness of it all was transparent and not masked in the guise of excellence. Whew, at least Justin Timberlake didn't perform tonight, like he does every, again, every year.
