Grammy's 2009

Anyone else watching? What's your opinions on the winners? The performances?

Okay...Carrie Underwood's performance. I really like that song, but I felt like her voice just faded into the music and I couldn't really hear her.

I forgot it was on and started tivo'ing it right at Carrie's performance....Her skirt was way to short...not flattering at all IMO.

Now they have Stevie Wonder singing Jonas Brothers...we're all fucked.

I'm guessing my TV has everything on later since I'm in CA (even though it says Live...)

Did anyone else think Paula Abdul was high as a freaking kite? She was such a spazz!

I can proudly say that I just saw and heard the Jonas Brothers for the first time.

I like that Coldplay song.

I usually don't mind a lot of U2 songs...but the song they opened the Grammy's with, I don't know...I just didn't like it.

I agree with the above on Carrie Underwood. I really wanted to hear her sing (to see what the hoopla is) and all I heard was the music.

I actually liked the outfit. Though the sleeves were weird-esp cause it was a short dress.

I was so looking forward to katy perry, and I thought it was awful. Too over-the-top for this year's tone of the show. Clearly a "wheeee look at me and my first grammy performance" deal. Esp because kanye/estelle went right after her and got the shaft.

What was that miley cyrus/taylow swift song? Was that some special bonding thing they had going, cause I didn't get it.

Anyone else think there are way too many performances, more than usual? And they totally cut out a host-smart move economically, but I definitely noticed it.

I do have to say it was awesome seeing Blink 182 together!!!

I'm thinking that the votes were so split between all the other awesome songs that a song not many people have ever heard won for the year? "Please Read This Letter"? What?! Not that Allison isn't great, but I've never even heard that song and the others were EVERYWHERE.

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.

Lmao is that was she was doing? She totally looked caught off guard!

What the freak was that outfit tho? Ugh.

Ps love love love the throwback 80s prom look kanye got goin. he does not mess.

That album is actually really good - I wouldn't have purchased it if I had not have heard them on NPR. One of the videos was on CMT a bit, too. Maybe the artistic element is what got it going?

I dunno - just grasping at straws

Tsk, tsk Chris Brown

I saw the Jonas Brothers perform for the first time. Sorry, but they don't impress me. Stevie Wonder is 100 times better than those three.

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

I'm just getting to watch the show now. Whitney looks amazing. Glad to see she's back on track.

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.
