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.

I didn't watch the whole thing. I missed most of the opening. But it seemed alright from what I saw.

Alicia Keys was great.

I loved the tribute to Lynard Skynard, although the only artist I recognized was Tim McGraw.

Melissa Ethridge and Joss Stone were fantastic. I love Melissa Ethridge's voice and I thought she was just amazing. Joss Stone has a fabulous voice as well, but last night was the first time I ever heard her sing.

I liked the tribut to gospel music. I like kanye, however I thought the end of the performance was a little over the top. It reminded me of the Michael Jackson "God" performance. I was waiting for someone to jump on stage and bring him down a notch or two.

That was pretty much all I saw as I was flipping back from the Grammys to Desperate Housewives to Law and Order: CI.

I was watching Law and Order too. Good episode!! Kanye really is full of himself. When one of the awards that he was nominated for was announced and he lost, they showed his face and he did not look happy. Someone needs to knock that boy off his pedestal.

I AGREE!!! I mean in the beginning i totally liked Kanye but his attitude is so horrible. He was such a sore loser at the Billboards and he got all pissy when Usher won all the awards!

...then he gives interviews threathening that hes gonna go crazy if he doesnt win 1 grammy of the 6 noms. what a greedy bastard. I mean damn. effing pantsy. ::::so annoyed::::

I never realized what a nasty attitude Kanye had until his grammy acceptance speech. And to make matters worse there were people in the audience that were agreeing with him. I saw one woman in the audience nodding her head in agreement with him at the end of speech and I was lik, "Lady don't encourage him".

Anyway, I thought College Dropout was a great album and should have won, but he should have accepted his award with a little more grace. Here's what I think is going to happen. Kanye's next album will be crap. It's going to be like every other rap/hip-hop album out there, rapping about the bling, bitches, booze, and blunts, whatever. His big head is going to get to him, and it will greatly affect his next album, and then he'll suddenly drop off the radar. But that's just my opinion.
