  • Does it ever occur to any of us that maybe Ed's performance was cut because it might not have been very good? Maybe he couldn't hit the notes like on Austin City Limits last month, and the other performers played a better performed song. Maybe not, but it's a possibility. They're also appealing to a mainstream audience, and Sting and Mellencamp are a little more mainstream kinda people who most viewers will know and recognize. Vedder appeals to just smaller, younger audience.

    Why does he just appeal to a younger audience? Ed isn't exactly one of the Jonas Bros.
  • They just showed Ed and Jill clapping at the end of the Robert DeNiro segment

    And now we see him laughing! It is nice to see him enjoying a night out, at the very least.

  • I don't have TV here. Torture!

    However, I was just on the Kennedy Honors page over at CBS.com watching video clips (very funny, but no Ed)

    BUT .... if you look under "Photos" his is the very first one so I'm going to assume they'll be showing his performance on the show :)

    well Melissa Etheridge wasn't that good.

    That would have been killer. From the looks of it, BS wouldn't have minded one bit... :D

    There at the end, when Ed was standing next to the singer from Sugarland, do you think he gave her his opinion on her cover or Betterman?
