Anyone watch the grammy's tonight. I thought the Eminem, Lil Wayne performance would've been great if they wouldn't have bleeped out all the swear words. The MJ tribute was good too. Glad Taylor Swift won the album of the year. Not a big country fan but she's a great artist.

Sun, Jan 31, 2010 at 8:53 PM by SomePalmReaderI'm glad I got to see Travis Barker. The MJ tribute gave me goosebumps.
Still really disappointed that Taylor Swift won album of the year. I'm tired of seeing her put on this front like she was a big nerd in high school and life sucked for her; she was a rich kid from Wyomissing, PA. She writes songs about being 15 and wins album of the year? So many other artists deserved that more than her, in my opinion.

I know it's supposed to be great because she's a young girl who writes her own music, but that means very little when the music blows. That Romeo & Juliet song is the bane of my existence.

Mon, Feb 1, 2010 at 11:52 AM by tendraftsdeepI have always been a music guy and I get sucked into most any awards show. Last night my increasing frustration with these shows for the last few years came to a breaking point and while cursing, I switched off the set halfway through the show. Why? Where is the edge? No, not the guitar player from U2, I am talking about the edge of rock, the uncertainty, the insane stage presence by anyone, any band, that can make the crowd genuinely worried about what might happen next. At least in 1998 Soy Bomb crashed Bob Dylan's number.... I suppose I am thinking of some of the old MTV music awards..... remembering the good stuff, like when Eddie Vedder slugged a bottle of red wine on stage and smashed the mic stand while Neil Young was shredding out monster feedback and refused to end "Rocking in the Free World", or when Billy Corgan screwed up "Disarm" by trying to play it electric, got mad, slammed his guitar and then tripped on a mic cord on his way off stage, or when Liam G from Oasis was drinking a big pint in a can onstage and spit all over the floor. Instead we get these safe, over produced pretentious numbers with big smiles and nothing...real.
Green Day... Broadway show? serious? I want to throw up. Billy Joe is the real American Idiot.
Beyond that, what is up with giving awards to has beens instead of true new talent? Best Metal-Judas Priest? Best Hard Rock-AC/DC? seriously...AC/DC has been rehashing the same song over again their whole career and they get a Grammy for some song they did this year? The voters must be a bunch of nostalgic old heads. The latest Mastodon album "Crack the Skye" blows away anything those bands ever did.
Sales never used to be the over riding factor in who won the awards. Go back over the winner's lists from years ago and you'll find artists winning that had virtually no record sales before winning. It would have been nice to see something from Ursa get nominated....record, song, single, etc.
Anyway, thanks for reading my rant. I think I am going to skip the next "awards" show that comes my way.

Mon, Feb 8, 2010 at 7:27 PM by starsbetween3the problem with the grammy's is the unreliability. most of the people who are on the board to vote, don't have time, so their secretaries fill the ballots out. how much do you think those secretaries know about music...
it's about what the majority of "music fans" (not "music enthusiasts") want to hear. which is lady gaga and taylor swift.
i loved taylor's first album that came out when she was actually country so i consider myself a fan, yet, album of the year...ehhh. and her performance was not up to par.
the grammy's are just a reflection of what music fans think they want to hear. you kind of have to take them with a grain of salt.
let's have our own third eye blind grammy's haha. hmm "best single of all time" "best song of the decade" "best album"
that could get fun and interesting!
