    I am pretty surprised about Arcade Fire. ARe they trying to earn some street cred or something? Trying to grab a different audiance? I don't know who votes for the grammy's i always thought i was based on album sales or something crazy like that because most people who win are horrible.

    That's a bit of a generalization. There's plenty of bad acts that have won but plenty of good ones too. You watch and then turn it off and life goes on.

    I don't think Arcade Fire is trying to do anything except make and perform good music. Its kind of nice when someone notices (Grammy).

    i only watched bits and pieces but I thought Arcade Fire's performance was awesome. I have heard of them but never really listented to them but really enjoyed the performance, especially the 1st song. Singing wasn't as loud as it could be on that song but the music and stage show was fantastic in my opinion.

    and i also enjoyed the Cee Lo Green, Gweneth and the Muppits. was entertaining, also waiting for one of them to slip up and say f--- you not forget you.

    I actually really liked this year awards. i usually hate these things but i was glad to see my fellow Canadians win some awards. so do you think the producers planned for Arcand Fire to play 2 songs.

    I was hoping that they would have sung Half light II but man was Month of May great.

    Arcade Fire wins Best Album. That's a shocker. Eminem's pissed.

    I think both records were great and was actually thinking that Eminem was going to win.

    i think they must have becuase their equipment was left up there, but they did kind of jump up and play pretty quickly and barely thanked anyone so it did come across a bit that maybe they just decided it themselves. i'd have to guess it was planned or they probably would have cut them off but has anyone ever played 2 songs on the grammy's before?

    one of the grammys producers in the post show said Arcade Fire were always supposed to play 2 songs. I dont think anything of it really. To see their reactions when they won, I dont think they had a clue. And I think that they would have played 2 songs had they won, or not. I think like most of the general population, that they didnt think they;d win

    I think their equipment was still up there because the show was ending and i would guess that they would take that down after the show. I have heard of bands playing more than 2 songs but not whole songs. usually its cut into separate songs.

    am i the only one who felts that Bob Dylan was drunk or stoned.

    I don't know about that. why would the producers give Arcade Fire 2 full songs and separate them. im not complaining as i love them and wish they played more.

    My guess is that the producers knew that Arcade Fire was going to win, which is why it was planned to have them play two songs. But as for the band, I mean, they all looked pretty shocked and surprised, they didn't even know what to say!

    :lol: hasn't aired here yet. now I guess I will keep watching.

    Dont'cha just hate that?

    I mean it's held on the WEST COAST yet the EAST COAST gets it LIVE and we get a 'pre-recorded' version....really, they can pre-empt 60 minutes...I promise I won't raise a stink.

    Adele was just perfect. :)
    The thing I like most about time is that it's not real. It's all in the head. Sure, it's a useful trick to use if you want to meet someone at a specific place in the universe and have tea or coffee- but that's all it is- a trick. There is no such thing as the past. It exists only in the memory. There is no such thing as the future. It exists only in our imagination. If our watches were truly accurate, the only thing they would ever say is "Now". That's what time it is. It's "Now". - Damien Echols

    I agree it's insane..

    And to think America still shuns Mel Gibson for being verbally abusive.


    Why is this price of garbage being celebrated?

    My mom had a Glenn Campbell album.

    That's all I have.

    But, you know, only the one time.

    Of course, it was a doozy.

    I can't believe the PJ20 movie was not even nominated for "best music video long form". The Foo Fighters "back and Forth" won it.. It was a good doc, so was the Tribe Called Quest doc.. But I thought PJ20 was better than both and wonder if they weren't nominated just because it is Pearl Jam..
