    I like to see him up there singing by himself without the crowd on stage. :)

    U2 wins another one....

    as an aside, anyone ever hear the live U2 cover of "southern man"...where bono mentions that it's one of the first songs he learned to play on guitar at the age of 17 and made him think that maybe some day if he could learn some more chords he might go far...?..."no tricks, just three chords and the truth"...

    Thanks for the posts everyone. Now I don't have to bother. :) I was really dreading watching for "just in case"!

    I just saw my favorite Beatles song get ruined by Linkin Park and Jay-Z...that was horrible

    Haha, that's hilarious. Man I can't stand either one of those two. I don't watch the Grammy's because the awards don't reflect the best music and the performances are never anyone I like.

    Green Day, System of a Down and Kanye all won.....which is awesome

    Still baffles me though how goddamn bono and the boys win everything they are up for.

    Really did not agree with them getting album of the year.....that should have been Kanyes. IMO

    I'm a big fan of U2, but I'm very suprised HTDAAB won album of the year. I thought it was subpar album at best w/ some decent songs. Certainly nothing close to a Acthung Baby or Joshua Tree or even ATYCLB but I guess the Grammy people felt different. Overall, from some of the parts I caught it seemed like an okay show better than years past.

    Can't believe U2 beat Neil Young, The Stones and Sir Paul McCartney, what a joke. U2s old stuff is great don't get me wrong but their new stuff sucks balls.

    McCartneys performances were really good. I really enjoyed the Encore/Numb/Yesterday deal. Very original and very awesome. What was cool was that Jay Z was wearing a Lennon shirt. Also Helter Skelter is an awesome song and I am happy he played it.

    the numb/encore/yesterday thing was actually a beautiful thing i think... i actually got goose bumps when paul walked out onstage.

    i don't care what ya'll think....this is STRICTLY IMHO. music is personal.



    madonna and gorillas...i have no idea who these gorilla people are but madonna was amazing. i have total respect for her...even though her music is dancehall

    was that coldplay who came on next? fuck, i liked them. great performance

    john legend, aka son of kanya...he's got talent

    mariah carey...she can really fucking sing. i give her total credit and am still pissed off at that tony motta guy...funny i heard a quote the other day from bruce hornsby about sony...he had 7 different presidents while he was on that label and each one of the left a multi multimullionaire, while bruce remains a semi struggling artist. FUCK SONY

    kelly clarkson...HUGE kudos to her for beating out the likes of mariah et all. and MORE IMPORTANTLY don't sit there on your chair, mister rawk doctor, and tell me american idol doesn't offer up some talent. she's PROOF. also note the fact that she was the 1st idol and we're now on the 5th idol...so there IS staying power. she did a great performance

    keith urban and faith hill...i'm gonna get keith urbans new cd today...they are selling it for $9.99 at best buy and these days i ONLY buy cd's that are priced right. keith urban sings, writes and played some pretty good guitar. he's got talent. faith is all fluff...she doesn't write and can barely play a guitar...even though she insisted on holding one...

    sly and family stone tribute...loved it

    linkin park and sir paul...i was ok with it

    sir paul came out and did a BAD song with a pretty bad band too, i assume the song was from his new cd, that im sooo glad i didn't buy...cause it's crap...he walked away with NO trophies and the only merit he gave to the show was doing an old beatles song. lmfao. a total washed up has been, who charges $200 per concert ticket...it was his first appearance at the grammys and he ended up being more of a nostalgic act than anything else...loved it! lol

    bruce did devils. do you know what that songi's about?? i do like it. good performance...but what can he do as a 3 piece band?

    u2...the bastards who charge fans $175 for tickets, have villas in southern france. i'm still peeved at them cause they are sooo money hungry. it's no wonder people download when you see the rich extravagance at the grammys...i dont feel sorry for any of those rich industry kats. u2 got song of the year with SYCMIOYO which was touching, because it's what bono's dieing dad said to him...and u2 won album of the year, which i dont think they totally deserved...i think they just got it cause of who they are.

    one with mary j was incredible...mary j was good but the best singer of the evening was still mariah...except i couldn't stand her hand/arm waving...lol

    the gift bags are worth $60,000 each for a presenter. the money being thrown around is sickening. as a music fan i'm pissed off at having to buy new cd for $15 and i'm really pissed off at bruce's BTR box set price.

    You poor baby. Do a fraction of what Bono and U2 have done for charity, then start talking shit.

    i honestly prefer the latest U2 album to all that you cant leave behind, so im glad it got a few nods. i read an article that had some serious truth to it... kanye lost any prayer of an award like best album when he made his comments about george bush after katrina. it may or may not have been true, but to an academy of rich, old white people, they are NEVER gonna give him an award for saying their fav president is a racist. i dont care for hip-hop but i do hear that's a solid album.

    you wanna do battle with me over U2...go right ahead...like i said, it was all IMHO....

    ANYONE WHO CHARGES THEIR LONG TIME LOYAL FANS $175 PER TICKET, WHILE MAKING 200+ MILLION ON A TOUR, DOES NOT HAVE A THING TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING. IT'S 100% PURE GREED.

    Why doesn't U2 charge the fans $50 for gold circle tickets and let US decide which charity WE want to give our money to...why do I have to be convinced that just because they give to charity that it is justified to pay $175 PER ticket

    go ahead...

    I think that Ed had the right idea....

    "I don't know what this means," said Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, accepting the 1996 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance. "I don't think it means anything."
