I thought the opening was boring.
I like Alicia better by herself, but think Jamie did a good job.
Poor Marc Anthony - his lovely voice couldn't make up for Jennifer's crappy one. And my Puerto Rican fiance said he her Spanish was so accented and horribile, he could barely understand what she was trying to say!
The whole church thing? Sad. Mavis Staples was sounding bad, I thought. And the Blind Boys were only ok. And Kanye? I hadn't heard his stuff much and I only have heard about him since all the grammy noms, but to be all singing about Jesus and all and then being so conceited and "me, me, me" in the acceptance? I didn't find it appropriate. Also, I noticed when he was doing the red carpet thing, he got asked about Josh Grobin and he was like: "Don't know who you're talking about" while he kept pointing to his hair art and opening his jacket while mugging for the camera. I know Josh might not be his cup of tea (he's not mine either), but Kanye seems a little too full of himself in my opinion.
And yes, Ray got too many awards. Especially album of the year. IMO.
