Did anyone watch the Grammys last night?
I forgot they even existed.
Nope. But apparently Taylor Swift won "Album of the Year".
Was Kanye allowed in the building?
I watched Lady GaGa's performance on YouTube, nothing else. If it doesn't have ridiculous shoulder pads and an Elton John piano duet, I cba.
Wtf is with Taylor Swift winning all of these awards? I didn't even know who she was before the Kanye incident. Album of the year? Seriously? Pff.
I watched Eminem/Lil Wayne/Wheelchair Jimmy's performance at the end and thought it was really good. Except that I couldn't stop thinking "lol wheelchair jimmy."
Pink did a really really cool performance too where she was all nekkid (totally ripping on one of Marilyn Manson's old outfits too btw) and flying around above everyone on sheets.
I didn't watch them, but I "attended them" via a photo of Imogen Heap and myself (from a couple years ago) which I twittered to her Twitter Dress which had a handbag which displayed images people could twitter to it. :P
She won the Engineering of a non-Classical album, which she well deserved. She wrote, played, produced, engineered her entire album herself (well . . . the strings were played by other musicians, as were the guitars). Anyway, she deserved it because she records millions of weird tiny sounds and turns them into stuff that sounds like catchy pop music.
The Simpsons episode Homer's Barbershop Quartet tells you all you need to know about the Grammys.
As for Taylor Swift, she makes Celine Dion look like Kate Bush.

However; I had better things to do :roll2
Trix told me to watch when Beyonce was on, which was a nice performance. Then it went to commercials and I heard 'Pink, Miley Cyrus, and the Black Eyed Peas' and closed the tab.
I completely forgot about it. Never really cared about them anyway.
Commercial jizz-fest, no thanks.
I had heard of her, but all I knew is she was hot. I didn't really have a clue as to what she was.Quote:

Also, I'm also surprised at the fact they were nommed too. Nickelback and pretty much all other bands in the same genre (post grunge) are terribad and unoriginal.
Hahahaa, sorry, PuPu! I multi-quoted, but forgot what I was gonna say with Breine's quote and ended up forgetting to delete the quote brackets.
You're surprised that a terrible act was nominated for a Grammy? An award where there's an absurd number of categories to be nominated for? I'd have been amazed if they hadn't been nominated.

I don't have anything against Taylor Swift, but it just seems odd that her album won "Album of the Year".
She's incredibly safe (i.e. boring), won't get up anyone's nose like Lady Gaga does, and sold over five million copies of her album. She's pretty much the perfect choice for a music industry who are desperate for any mega-sellers.Quote:

This was seriously my single favourite moment

(context: there was a Michael Jackson tribute in 3D, hence the glasses)
The Jamie Foxx performance of 'Blame it on the Alcohol' was absolute chaos. Seeing "I'm on a Boat" nominated for anything got a laugh out of me too. I also didn't know Weird Al had a new album until this show.
So it's not a complete loss.
Nope, but I watched Lady Gaga's absolutely wonderful performance with Sir Elton John on YouTube last night. Gaga's performance is really the only thing I wanted to watch The Grammys for anyway, and the only reason I watched the 2009 MTV VMAs (although Beyonce's performance on that was pretty fantastic too). :)
Also, the fact that "I'm On A Boat" got nominated for a grammy is pretty hilarious/great.
I agree. To me, Taylor Swift is one of the few "pure-hearted" musicians today; one who puts all her heart and soul into her music and sings about romance and compassion. I wonder where everyone else went. I think Taylor could very well be the next Celine Dion.Quote:

Thanks for pointing that out, NCG. I am still in support of a content rating system, but I've toned it down a bit; it would not actually "restrict" people from listening to it, but would determine its suitability for certain age groups. But enough about that.
Oh, now I remember! I did cover the 'insane' angle as well I think.
Excuse me again?
Haha, this thread! Charlie, never change.
My thoughts on the Grammys: Beyoncé is Jesus. Gaga is a goddess. Not a fan of Pink, but the performance was neat. Everybody else who performed was horrible. Tay Swift dropping and breaking a Grammy was LOL.
Yes, Taylor Swift did drop a few of her Grammy trophies...
