[quote=Anonymous]Underwhelmed by Grammys. Way too much country/old rock stars. Nice to honor them, but come on!

Bruce Springsteen-Not a fan. While I can appreciate his music, he's definitely not Grammy-opening worthy anymore.
Bruno Mars-Absolutely LOVE him. He's such a fantastic performer and singer. Modern day Frankie Lymon. 
Alicia/Bonnie-Really liked it.
Rihanna/Coldplay-Enjoyed that too. Wished Rihanna had done another song for her solo though. Not the best choice to showcase her voice.
Taylor Swift- She's okay and I like a few of her songs, but I'm just not getting the love affair that America has with her. That definitely wasn't a standing-ovation performance. She should thank Kanye everyday for her fame.
Chris Brown-Pretty good. He basically was there to dance and say what you want, but the boy is a fantastic dancer. Wish I had that much energy/flexibility.
Beach Boys-Maroon 5 was fantastic. The Beach Boys themselves...... :shock: 
Paul McCartney-Just......ugh. 
Various rock/country singers-Double ugh.
Katie Perry-Just okay. Nothing great. Wished she had sang something more "pop". This was an angry rock song. 
Nicki Minaj-Absolutely loved it. Loved the creativity of her video too. Enjoyed it immensely.
Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, et al-.................. :shock:  BUT, the "Deadmouse" DJ guy sounded awesome.

A few other points:

-No recognition of Don Cornelius and Etta James on the video montage of deceased entertainers? Very tacky.

-Wasn't impressed with Jennifer Hudson singing the Whitney tribute. And her body shape was very weird in that dress. It was a touching tribute...just didn't enjoy Hudson singing it.

-Finally, WTF is the hype with Adele? Is it a British thing? I mean the girl can sing and I love about 4 of her songs, but seriously...what is the deal? While she sings well, there are other singers out there with her range and better (Aguilera, Celine, Hudson, Mariah, etc). Seriously...is it all about the triumph after a break-up? We get it America...you're embracing an overweight "pop" singer. This just seems like overkill.  Was also not overly impressed with her singing tonight. She sounded off key and flat leading into the chorus throughout the song.

Overall: The Grammys were a snore. Thought I was watching the Country Music Awards for a second. [/quote]
