Grammys!!!

Ok, I'm freakin excited:
Post your predictions/comments here.

Scorecard for major awards

Album of the year: speakerboxx/the love below by outkast, although I really wish it were Evanescence

Song of the year: Dance with my Father. Due to his health problems lately and the academy's love for Luther, he's pretty much a sure thing.

Anyone else????

I'm going to miss 30 minutes of the Grammy's due to Sex and the City (missed last week's episode because of the Super Bowl so I can't miss this week's). Here are some of my predictions:

Record of the Year:
Either Outkast's "Hey Ya" or Eminem's "Lose Yourself"

Album of the Year:
Outkast's Speakerboxxx/The Love Below
...I was surprised to see Justin Timberlake's album nominated. Didn't it come out back in 2002? Plus, I didn't think it was that good.

Best New Artist:
50 Cent

Song of the Year:
Luther Vandross' "Dance With My Father"

I was pretty sure 'Lose Yourself' was released in 2002, but I guess the people in charge do it how they want

Beyonce and Prince was just kinda strange.....

Wasn't too thrilled with the Beatles tribute- that high note killed my ears.

Christina's performance was incredible.

White Stripes is on right now... they're okay, i'm not too into them.

I do like all the performances this year... much prefer this format. Although I do miss the opening monologue. There are so many things that could've been made fun of this year!

I'm not a fan, but Beyonce just sang the ISHT out of that song.

my jaw dropped.

too many performances/lifetime achievement awards, not enough real award presentations.

AXJules · #9 02-09-2004, 01:06 AM

I was feeling the Outkast/funk medley...until George Clinton and a SCARRRYYY guy with a long fake plastic nose (anyone see him?)started dancing around yelling "SKEET SKEET SKEET!!!"

I'll be in my bed having nightmares if anyone needs me.

ARg.... I dislike the Grammies. They're so commercialized. I guess all awards shows are.

New Artist: Evanescence.

There goes their career. New Artist Award = Kiss of Death

I liked Prince and Beyonce together. Her solo performance was my favorite. I love when she sings that song live. And she had a freakin bird at end! Wow, I'm easily impressed. Christina sounded amazing too. What was with 50 Cent coming on stage with Evanescence? Justin needs to shut up about the "wardrobe malfunction" already. I'm tired of "Hey Ya" but that performance was cool. Faith Hill looked great.

No Stranger than Janet and Justin. I'm Happy that OutKast got the Album of the Year. Good for them. I was kinda surprised that 50 cent didn't get the best new artist award. Hightlight of the night : Luther Vandross got "Song of the Year". very cool.

If the sound wasn't acting up on my TV, I probably would have appreciated the tribute to Luther more. I'm glad that the sound got clear when Celine did "Dance With My Father".

Don't really care for Evanescence, but I do agree that 50 should have won Best New Artist.

Peaches-n-Cream · #15 02-10-2004, 12:09 AM

There was a big sound malfunction when Celine sang. Somebody lost a job over that. It was nice to hear good singers. Christina sounded really great as did Martina McBride. That Outkast song "Hey Ya" is fun.
