Grammy's 2009

This is ridiculous. Allison & crew. ENUNCIATE. It sounds like you are just mumbling your way through the songs. I am irritated beyond belief. I want to rip your 2009 awards from your hands just for that alone.

ETA: I am furious that they won album of the year after that. This is not the first year she has won awards for songs no one has ever heard of, it has also happened in the past. I follow music pretty well and I didn't even know she had a CD out.

Calm down. The Grammys and most other award shows are about merit, not popularity. The only winners that I like are Jennifer Hudson and Coldplay.

Sorry, all that mumbling just got on my last nerves. It's my pet peeve. And just because something is popular doesn't mean it has less merit.

Chris Brown is being held for bail of $50,000! He reported to police custody @ 7pm LA time. Rihanna just checked out of the hospital. According to CBS4's LA affiliate.

And poor MIA, standing backstage, she's actually due TODAY, and they catch her scratching her head and holding her tummy because their camera people are just going too fast.

I've never heard of that song or that album or over Robert Plante doing anything with Alison Kraus. An award for Pop? Really? Pretty sure that's country. Pissed me off.

Baby Pink, you can include Adele to the "never heard of him/her" list. I'm going to have to listen to her songs.

LOVE Stevie Wonder. And Adele's song "Chasing Pavements" is played on VH1 every morning for the last few months. It's one of my favorites but I haven't listened to her other songs. I really dig her voice.

Rumor is...supposedly he hit her (if it is indeed her he hit) because SHE gave HIM an STD.

Again...just a rumor.

Really? I heard it's cause she got SUUUUPER upset that Chris "checked out" another girl at the pre-grammy party.

And one of the New York mags/newspapers confirmed it was Rihanna that he hit.

the supposed "herpes" was spotted a couple weeks ago, and he has been buddy buddy with Rhiana since...

I believe this rumor more than the STD one. There were several rumors of her chasing off anyone who was looking his direction. And I added the bolded because he is innocent until proven guilty.

The Grammys were good except for the Wackness Brothers and their attempt to sing Superstition. I wanted it to stop!

ORLY?

Plant & Krauss are a "safe" choice - they're not going to give it to a rap album, Radiohead is too weird and Coldplay is on their way out (thank God).

Please Read the Letter is played constantly over AAA radio and I would hope that it's also gotten adult contemporary play in some of the less backward markets.

Paul McCartney with Dave Grohl on drums? They could have started and stopped right there and I'd been happy!

That new U2 song is much better live, but that's not saying much. Loved Jennifer Hudson, never have and never will get Coldplay, remarked to my 12 year old that M.I.A. looked ready to have that baby right then and there, 12 year old never has and never will get Radiohead, and refused to watch most anyone else.

Whatever happened to the days where they actually gave out the AWARDS on the broadcast?

a.e.B.O.T. · #11 02-09-2009, 09:52 PM

LOL, people bitch because they have never head of the person, OR they bitch because they think the person won due to popularity... ... ... ... ... sounds like just bitching to me...

I wish M.I.A. did Paper Planes, and I wish she had actually won some, because I do think that song is just freaking fantastic...

I hate katy perry, i said it, and its too true. She is a spectacle, and she knows it, which is the part that kills me, she knows it!!! rggg...

Jonas Brother, Miley, and Taylor need to go to college, smoke some weed, live a little, and then come back to the music business

Blink 182 is BACK, YAY, that so made my day

Jennifer Hudson made me cry...

I liked Kanyes haircut, not at first, but it grew on me ten seconds later...

How can you win country collaboration with vocals, AND pop collaboration with vocals for the same song???

I think one of the reason why they didn't give it to Radiohead is because they're still pissed off that Radiohead gave the album away for free and decided to go on their own direction when it come to distribution.

I'll call the Grammy peeps and let them know you don't like their choices. BTW, I don't think they care.

You obviously don't listen to bluegrass/country and that is ok. But, just because you've never heard of something doesn't mean it doesn't have merit, either. You also DO NOT follow music well or you would know she has had ELEVEN albums. Oh, and she's won more Grammy's than any other woman in Grammy history.

Plant/Krauss have a VERY eclectic sound. And, when you have two industry giants collaborating, the Grammy voters (industry peeps) are going to fall all over them, natch.

Ha. Miley Cyrus totally sang Taylor's song better.

I do know who Allison Krauss is, I have for a VERY long time I also know that she is a very respected artist and has been around for along time. Stop making ASSumptions. I'm entitled to my opinion. I don't think they were deserved, but she won them. Good for her. It's not that deep. It's really not.
