    I usually attend the Grammys, but had to skip it this year. We watched it on the DVR, and damn, it was boring....not many acts appealed to me. The Bowie tribute was ok....Since he was pretty much peerless, there was no way they could just have normal musicians play his songs, so Gaga was a good choice.

    I happened to like Adele's performance. I could not handle listening to the little Canadian twit and changed the channel.
    Not familiar with Alabama Shakes, gaga's tribute felt a tad awkward. Gwen Stefani's performance was alright I kinda like her stuff.
    Fell asleep after the Lemmy tribute, so I can't comment on anything else.
    Grammys are more of a popularity contest, not a talent contest.

    They lost all credibility when Celine Dion won album of the year over Mellon Collie, Odely and The Score.

    I didn't get to see it anyways since I work the late shift on weeknights.
    Her husband was like the CEO of Sony music or something right? Her album contract was with Sony...yes/no?
    No, that was Mariah who was married to Tommy Matolla.

    Agreed, Hobbesy.

    Thoughts, look at what he married into. Genius Central!

    I'd also like to kick the shins of the dumbass who started a GoFundMe thing for him (along with those who donated).

    No. He's Kanya West, and he's married to Kim Kardashian for crying out loud. The man simply doesn't distinguish between good attention and bad attention, so he just goes ahead and says and does whatever he thinks will get him the MOST attention.... and actually he's pretty fucking good at it. That's what he's doing with the Zuckerberg thing, and that's what was behind announcing that he would run for President in 2020, lol. And that is why he ran on stage to interrupt the winners two years a row at the Grammys.

    While I normally would never defend anything Kanye West does, when he "interrupted" Beck last year at the Grammys, I thought he was just making light of himself for interrupting Taylor at the MVA's. I don't think he maliciously meant to interrupt Beck. I could be wrong, but that's just how I viewed it. Still, fuck that guy.

    Well, kind of. That how he tree to pull it off when it happened... of course, he later tweeted that Beck wasn't a real artist (and then later kind of took it back), soooo... lol. But either way, the fucker totally took the moment away from Beck, just like he did from Taylor Swift.

    True that. He has to be the center of attention. I wasn't aware he tweeted that about Beck later on. So, the guy basically copied an entire Daft Punk song, put his own lyrics on it, and has the nerve to say Beck isn't a real artist? Wow. Fuck that guy!
