The Grammay Awards

[ashbeeigh]

Lady Gaga already showed up in an egg. Who is going to win? Eminem? Gaga? Florence and the Machine? Beiber? My faux boyfriend Bruno Mars?

What do y'all think?

[Darrin]

If I were able to skip a year in music, I think 2010 would be that year. There is not a song that has come out this year that I wouldn't delete off my ipod to make room for something better. Nothing.

woot.

[monosylab1k]

Yeah I can't wait to watch awards be given to the best shitty music of the year.

[redzero]

People actually care about the Grammys?

[resistanze]

People actually care about the Grammys?

Someone hasn't heard Teenage Dream.

[redzero]

Someone hasn't heard Teenage Dream.

Thank God for that. I've heard Teen Dream, though, and I'm guessing that it's infinitely superior.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Why are they interviewing snookie's bitch ass? What does she know about music?

[BlackSwordsMan]

exactly

Lemme guess, you haven't watched Justin Bieber's movie either? smh

[Pistons < Spurs]

wow.

Todays artists and the general state of the music is pretty freakin bad.

[BlackSwordsMan]

wow.

No like Muse? :(

[Pistons < Spurs]

No like Muse? :(

NO.

I've seen and heard a ton of people make mention of Muse time after time. But their performance tonight was the first time I knowingly listened to them.

And I was hugely disappointed. Didn't see the attraction at all.

[Greg Oden]

NO.

yeah you know it's pretty bad when Matt Bellamy is considered an elite guitar player today.

[Sisk]

I don't really care for folk music typically, but I enjoyed Mumford & Sons. Never heard of them before tbh

[mouse]

This lady was robbed!

[MannyIsGod]

The Grammys are the worst major award show and its not even close.

[monosylab1k]

lol why does anyone think Muse is any good? They're a shitty early Radiohead cover band.

[monosylab1k]

The Grammys are the worst major award show and its not even close.

:tu other award shows generally nominate and award stuff that's maybe not the best, but pretty damn good. The Grammys are the only major award show that knowingly awards mediocrity.

[monosylab1k]

Relapse having so many nominations would basically be like The Last Airbender being up for Best Picture.

[mrsmaalox]

Mick Jagger kinda looks like a puppet......giant head, tiny body :lol

[MannyIsGod]

:tu other award shows generally nominate and award stuff that's maybe not the best, but pretty damn good. The Grammys are the only major award show that knowingly awards mediocrity.

I have no fucking clue how some of the shit that wins actually does so. When any country album wins anything outside of a country category it just makes me wonder. Modern country is absolutely terrible in every sense of the word and they always clean house.

[ohmwrecker]

Eminem winning over the Roots is a shame.

[ashbeeigh]

Eminem winning over the Roots is a shame.

I thought Blueprint should have won.

[monosylab1k]

I thought Blueprint should have won.

lol blueprint 3 is almost as shitty as Recovery.

[BlackSwordsMan]

I thought Blueprint should have won.

I'm going to drop kick you.

[mrsmaalox]

Part of the problem is the televised broadcast being centered around the most "popular" acts. It seems true talents are honored in the pre-telecast: Jeff Beck, Mavis Staples, The White Stripes, Neil Young, Buddy Guy, Black Keys are all winners that no one got to see.

[MannyIsGod]

:depressed

[PakiDan]

Lady Antebellum??? Really???

The fact that Muse won over Jeff Beck, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, and Tom Petty just makes me want to drop kick a baby (who happens to be wearing an Ashbeigh mask).

[PakiDan]

:tu Arcade Fire

[BlackSwordsMan]

Where's carrie underwood? D=

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Wow. What a big F' you Lady Antebellum are doing to most of the people tonight :tu I love it

[ashbeeigh]

The fact that Muse won over Jeff Beck, Pearl Jam, Neil Young, and Tom Petty just makes me want to drop kick a baby (who happens to be wearing an Ashbeigh mask).

Boo.

I still stand by my "Jay Z should have won" statement.

[MannyIsGod]

Its ok Ash. A lot of people feel the way you do.

[Slydragon]

What!!!! Justin Bieber was robbed today....we gonna protest like we Egypt.

Ha ha ha he look like he wanted it so bad when they showed him waiting for the winners name.

[Fpoonsie]

Kinda bummed that Mumford & Sons didn't win Best New Artist...kinda. It's the only reason I had tuned in (and muted).

Atleast they didn't lose out to Beebs.

Yep. It's just the mainstream stuff everyone sees that's the crap. Er, most of the stuff. Besides the flashing-light productions and what not, there's some awesome musicianship going on in the backline. Phillinganes opening the show with JR Robinson on drums. wow. That's what I mainly pay attention to. Did anyone notice Jeff Beck didn't know where he was? I was cracking up. This Arcade Fire is borderline elementary. Sounds like wank to me. Anyway, yeah the majority of what we see is wank.

[BlackSwordsMan]

Wow. What a big F' you Lady Antebellum are doing to most of the people tonight :tu I love it

What are they doing?

[mrsmaalox]

Yea well freakin' Muse is still riding that lame Twilight wave :rolleyes

[Viva Las Espuelas]

What are they doing?
pissing on everyone's collective campfire.

[ashbeeigh]

ha. Arcade Fire. Take that Lady A. Except I wish The Fame Monster had won.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Kristofferson should play The Dude's dad if that rumor is true.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Ok. That chick on the drums must be a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally good friend of theirs. Just like the sax player in DMB.

[PakiDan]

ha. Arcade Fire. Take that Lady A. Except I wish The Fame Monster had won.

HA! Yes!! Arcade Fire!!

[BlackSwordsMan]

Why the need for 3 guitars, two drum sets and a mic so low you can't even understand the singer? Great band.

[mrsmaalox]

Ok. That chick on the drums must be a rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreally good friend of theirs. Just like the sax player in DMB.

You mean the late Leroi Moore? He was okay. I'm just hoping you don't mean the current saxophonist Jeff Coffin----he's probably one of the best in the business :)

[Viva Las Espuelas]

You mean the late Leroi Moore? He was okay. I'm just hoping you don't mean the current saxophonist Jeff Coffin----he's probably one of the best in the business :)
Yeah. The one that passed. I didn't know they a bet........I mean another one. I haven't followed them since Crash :lol

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Man, and Jeff Beck is coming through here but not with Vinne :( or Tal.

[spurs_2108]

Glad that Arcade Fire won!!!

[tlongII]

The Grammys are the worst major award show and its not even close.

Actually I think The Grammys is the best major award show. I enjoy seeing all of these top artists performing live during one show. I don't really care who wins...I just like to see the acts.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

So whose nutsack did Eminem have on his face for this one?

[spurs_2108]

How come Arcade Fire didn't win best alternative album?

[tlongII]

That John Mayer, Norah Jones, Keith Urban combo was excellent.

[DJ Mbenga]

what the hell just won song of the year?

[Stringer_Bell]

That John Mayer, Norah Jones, Keith Urban combo was excellent.

Agree. I don't pay attention to Urban much, but when I catch him performing I'm always surprised by his musicianship.

I wonder how big of a backlash Arcade Fire will get from their indie following for winning a Grammy. Subarbs sucked ass (half the cd was useless rehash), the academy obviously just wanted some indie cred. Still, they deserved awards from previous efforts so that's nice they have something now.

[silverblk mystix]

what the hell just won song of the year?

:lmao

lady antebellum...wins ...song of the year for ripping off the melody to;

``eye in the sky'' from Alan Parsons Project...from the 80's?...

besides all the garbage rap crap, hillbilly chanting, and re-gurgitated punk/new wave shit...

they give the top song to a rip off of an 80's song...:lmao

music today....

Hmmmm, I compared the two songs on my own and they sounded similar, but when I found a mash up...there's just enough difference to never give Alan Parsons Project a chance in court. Both songs are good, and certainly my appreciation for the Lady A song has fallen, but I don't think it's enough to say they completely ripped-off APP.

Lady Gaga has ripped off the Eurythmics, Madonna, and Ace of Base - all while being called unique and original. Much worse crime imo.

can't argue there...

the lady a song tho' is a complete rip-off---on the chorus...then they change a tiny bit --on the verses...but I still think SOMEONE at the record company should have made them re-consider...

or at least split the royalties with alan parsons...imo

:lol there's only 12 notes, man.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

It's called influence, Stringer.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

That John Mayer, Norah Jones, Keith Urban combo was excellent.

Exactly what I meant in my earlier post. I don't look forward to the obvious. Who could ask for more when a show begins with a piano player that has played on Songs in the the Key of Life and a drummer that played on Off the Wall.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

love me some grammays

how did a song released in august 2009 win an awards show in february 2011?

[Das Texan]

Further.


How did an artist who's first album came out in 2006 win new artist of the year?

[JoeChalupa]

Never heard of Arcade Fire but I have heard Lady A and since I'm not a big fan of current music I watched bits and pieces and I thought Katy Perry's singing on the swing was horrible.

[Drachen]

Yeah my song goes "Dun dun dun duh-duh-dun dun" theirs goes "dun dun dun dun dun dun." Totally different, I don't know how anyone could even compare the two.

[JudynTX]

:wakeup Oh shucks, I missed the Grammy's.

There is only room in history for one white rapper, and he is renovating houses now.

[Cry Havoc]

I find it odd that people who state how horrible the Grammay's are still watch it.

[DieMrBond]

Glad that The Black Keys won something, that was a kick ass album (Brothers).

Arcade Fire have been awesome for a long time, how can so many of you not have heard of them? Is it because they are Canadian?

Florence and the Machine should have won Best New Artist. Girl is an amazing singer.

Mumford and Sons are sooo repetitive.

And, Muse are awesome. Pfht, Americans and their dislike for England.

As for all of the country music and lady vomit, i refuse to comment as its shit.

[silverblk mystix]

I find it odd that people who state how horrible the Grammay's are still watch it.

It's like watching an NBA finals with lakers vs. celtics....

I hate them both...but I am a bb fan...

[Cry Havoc]

Completely different. If you're watching the Finals, there's a ~95% chance that you're watching two of the best teams playing, and probably an 80% chance that the two teams in the Finals ARE the best in the NBA.

Watching the Grammy's is the equivalent of watching an NBA Finals between between the Bucks and the Warriors while the announcers talk about how both teams are far and away the best in the league.

[MannyIsGod]

I find it odd that people who state how horrible the Grammay's are still watch it.

I stated how terrible it was and didn't watch a minute. I did read the awards, though.

[Cry Havoc]

Well you're one of the smarter ones, then. :lol

[CosmicCowboy]

I refuse to watch ANY awards shows, but the butthurt in this thread is hilarious.

[Brutalis]

The Grammy's? You mean popularity contest?? The Grammy's are worthless.

[mrsmaalox]

I don't routinely watch awards shows because they are so boring.....but I flipped by right when Jagger was skipping around and I found that pretty amusing :lol

I don't really have a problem with the GrammAys per se; my problem is with what they feed us. So many deserving and talented artists won awards in the pre-telecast portion, but we just get to see the "media popularity" portion. Here's a list of the winners from the pre-telecast
http://www.goldderby.com/music/news/1134/grammy-awards-pre-telecast-winners

Good grief, I can easily pick out 10 acts that would blow away what they showed on the primetime broadcast. It could have been one hell of a show.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

The outrage of the beliebers is hilarious. An actual musician winning best new artist? Who news.

[Sense]

How come Arcade Fire didn't win best alternative album?

Because Brothers is way better?

[HeadBanger]

Boring show with lame acts.

[spurs_2108]

Because Brothers is way better?

Then why wasn't Brothers nominated for album of the year?

[MannyIsGod]

Then why wasn't Brothers nominated for album of the year?

Because the Grammys suck.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

The results for the winners of the hard rock & metal categories were leaked on line around 2 pm pst yesterday, making an already anticlimactic event that much more anticlimactic.

[phxspurfan]

What was that whole 7 minute act toward the end where in the middle they said "Bob Dylan!" That didn't sound like Dylan at all. I wanted to mute the TV.

[monosylab1k]

Because Brothers is way better?

....yeah, that's not it.

[Soul_Patch]

Why does Eminem always appear to be so pissed off?

So many Philistines. This is the Grammys' audience.

[spurs_2108]

So people are saying that the other nominees for album of the year sold more copies, but this is not about who sold the most, its about "best" album. Not most sold.

Not really, the grammy's are ``supposed'' to be the best in music for the given year...much like the nba finals...

I usually DVR it-and fast forward through most of it...but once in a while a good performance will be caught...then you can enjoy THAT performance...

the Bruno Mars soul type revue-was decent until it started to look like ANOTHER lip-synced production....

to each his own I guess...

[redzero]

Not really, the grammy's are ``supposed'' to be the best in music for the given year...much like the nba finals...

:lmao:lmao:lmao

Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Lady Antebellum are the best that music has to offer?

Brotip: an award show with Justin Bieber as one of the nominees isn't a award show that should be taken seriously.

[Sec24Row7]

The only thing I took away from it was that Cee Lo looked like a fucking Wuzzle.

No, but the average viewer of the Grammys does, even though they never heard of Arcade Fire until they won a Grammy.

I'm not defending the grammy's...none of us decided that those nominees were worth a shit...the so-called music industry has presented this every year for ages...and it claims to be the top award show in music...not MY definition...but this is what we got...

I never said I was supporting it,defending it, believing it,caring for it....it was just a show to DVR in case a great performance breaks out...

[spurs_2108]

Ive liked arcade fire since their funeral days and in no way a hipster. I'm glad they won. Maybe get get some recognition. All they are getting now is hate.

[Sense]

Then why wasn't Brothers nominated for album of the year?

This amazes me as well.

[Spurminator]

What did Jethro Tull win?

[Duff McCartney]

What did Jethro Tull win?

Best Heavy Metal Album.

[Duff McCartney]

I was actually impressed with Gwyneth Paltrow...she's not bad.

I think one of the criticisms of the Grammys that I agree with is that there are so many albums that come out in any given year that it's impossible that people who vote for the awards listened to everything and then voted.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

"Grammay" continues to crack me up :lol

[IronMexican]

The Suburbs was just too long and dragged out for me. I liked it, but definitely wont go back to it for anything besides the singles. Too much filler. It's pretty funny that some people think some obscure, unknown band one. They might be the Poster CHild for "indie"

[mrsmaalox]

What did Jethro Tull win?


Best Heavy Metal Album.

It was actually won by some new band called "Iron Maiden" ;)

[Viva Las Espuelas]

It's pretty funny that some people think some obscure, unknown band one.

Wow. Add that to the "your" their" mix.

[IronMexican]

awww fuck. First day typing in weeks. too late to edit. already been caught by you.

Anybody that likes jazz should check out that Esperanza Spalding chick. She's excellent.

[MsMcGillyCutty]

Yes she is.

[Viva Las Espuelas]

Depends on y'alls definition of jazz.

[tlongII]

Depends on y'alls definition of jazz.

Her music is pure jazz imo.

[oh crap]

word is her next album will be produced by Q-tip, should be interesting.
