• The Police - I have no words for that...
• Seeing Mary J. win another Grammy brought me to tears, knowing that she's worked so hard.
• I'm not a political person by nature, but I am starting to like the Dixie Chicks song. I think the people threatening them so just drop the b.s., ya know.
• The fashion is "interesting". I love Christina Aguilara's color combo of pale pink and taupe. So old hollywood.
• While I'm not a JT fan, I thought Justin Timberlake's performance was *spot on*. Beyonce.. eeh. What was that song - "Heard It All Before".
• Prince still was rockin' the sexy. I wonder if his gal has to hide her makeup and shoe collection.
• Plus - it's great to see Jennifer Hudson rocking the red carpet. Finally- a gal with curves in Hollywood. Someone call the media. Someone keep Rachel Zoe away from her (I keed, I keed).
• Other fashion - lookin' dapper was Nelly Furtado, Timberland, Luda, Fergie but Will.I.Am - drop the earpiece my friend. For a second there, I thought he was rockin' one of the bluetooth headsets that drive me nuts when I see people wearing them in the clubs.
• UPDATE! MARY J WON ANOTHER ONE!! Touching speech of how you don't appreciate what you have til you hit the valleys and the peaks of success and in the valley who you learn what you really are, same with success and how she believes in using success to build bridges and not to burn them. Good for her. Mary J. is one of those artists who you root for.
• The commercials are killin' me - Lil' Jon & Jermaine Dupri for Heineken... *yawn*. Does Heather Locklear ever age?
• Heartwrenching - Stevie Wonder - man lost his mom and dedicated his award to her. I'm glad he and Tony Bennett won.
• Corrinne Bailey Rae - Overnight sensation in today's media makes me believe that she's been at this a while before getting noticed. Grey's Anatomy to Oprah to Grammys - You Go Girl! Very talented singer
• So over the John Mayer/Jessica hype. Publicity stunt?? Nothing in that world seems real anyways.
• John Legend - classy!
• Natasha Bedingfield -she's still around? I noticed in the pre-show that the head of the Pussycat Dolls seemed a bit distant from her other "bandmates". Wonder if she's ready to break solo? She also seemed a bit focused on her dress and trying to work the train. While I love the PCD, hearing that they were up for a Grammy took me a bit by surprise.
• Timbaland in the preshow seemed humble.
• BTW - while I'm all for promoting music and the unsigned artists, this contest to sing with Justin Timberlake seems more "AMA" than Grammy ya know. I wonder what backlash this will produce?
• While I love Shakira's vocals, is anyone else sick of "Hips Don't Lie"? I know she had to sing it because it was a Grammy nominated song, but hot damn people... Same routines as the other show...
• Are the announcer & sound guy having issues???
• The Dixie Chicks won.. umm. the gal has the mic.. *scared*
• Ok -not so scared.. classy and the gals "made nice". I wasn't sure what Natalie was going to say and didn't want to hear the news in the a.m. with "issues".
• Gotta love the seating at the Grammys... it's sooo political.
• More commercials.. sponsor ones at that - Mary J. singing for Chevy (hope she got a car out of the deal - same with T.I. & Big & Famous); Dale Earnhardt Jr. is getting himself out there - did they give him a car too? and Heineken... wait - no celeb in the Heineken one.
• Why are the "How I Met Your Mother" chicks introducing. Interesting choice of presenting...
• Gnarls Barkley - and to think he was just known as Cee-Lo - peculiar but beyond talented individual. This uniform gear is making me apprehensive to fly if that's the pilot theme song (j/k)..
• Good - JZ is watching too...
• What in the blankityblankblank is Kayne wearing. Dude - it's the Grammys, come correct!
• Good - they are poking fun at Kanye for not winning. Who the heck is Lupe fiasco? I'm so out of the hip hop loop. Good - Luda won...
• They honored Maria Callas?? Hot damn... but it's going to Mary J. - YEA! I love the phrase that Terrence Howard used to introduce her "True Musical Royalty".
• How tall is Mandy Moore???
• Smoky Robinson - Does HE ever age??? It's like Lionel Ritchie. Must be something in the water. Even Natalie Cole looks young.
• I loved the step routine. Not a fan of Chris Brown tho... thank god for Tivo... the little kids in the routine was adorable!!
• Christina Aguilara looked flawless! The vocals were killer... I just hope she stays grounded and doesn't get all "Ms. Ross" in time. Not many gals have vocals like that.
• The president of NARAS is on - and gotta give it up for NARAS - Music Education is important. It is just as essential as everything else that kids learn. Kids need a creative outlet. I remember when I had one. I was lucky enough to play the piano and could play pop songs by ear, but gave that up in the 6th grade... to this day I regret that. I think my piano was a bit more important than baton twirling, but I'll drop that fight...
• I hate seeing how many artists/producers/industry execs have passed in a year. It's a reminder that one should enjoy life as one has it.
• James Brown tribute - sooo fitting. James Brown was a musical legend. He paved the way for so many artists. While I hate the song, "Living In America" - too many DPUSA runs, still...
• Rihanna looking flawless... intro'ing Luda... Luda's new song is just...wow! I think parents should take a listen. It's amazing the power in lyrics...
• SO over James Blunt.. where's that remote?
• JZ is now crowing about he votes and I can't vote the Grammys...
• Just kidding - no alot of people that won are ones he voted for...
• Still pissy that he can vote and I don't have voting credits.. need 5 more song credits...
• Jennifer Hudson is rockin' the Cavalli....
• Grammys should not be doin' this contest crap, IMO. I'm glad she got the chance, but damn.. still how many messed up deals is this gal gonna be hit with tomorrow - to quote a friend "American Idol meets the Grammys". Someone call Paula, Simon & Ryan...
• That's all she got to sing - you are kidding me right?
• Oh wait - she's back.. and they are doing his other "song". It's all about the promotion,,
• She's on the Grammys - who the hell was her stylist... Fire her, now!
• Mary J. looks better with the hair "Charlies Angel" style...
• Dixie Chicks won Record of the Year...
• That American Idolesqe chick won a car.. good for her. NARAS - let's not do that next year, please.
• Can't TiVo thru the Peppers... oh well...
• Stupid question - Al Gore as a presenter? His wife is hissed at by industry for her "rating the cd drama" from the 80s... Politics... it's all politics.. hope Tipper wasn't there..
• I'm over the Geico/Caveman commerical.. played out.
• Drum Roll... Album of the Year... DIXIE CHICKS! Don Henley presented and to quote JZ - the fact that they cried on the way up shows their humble. She got the mic again - "She's Ready to Make Nice!" She even called herself a loudmouth...

And - it's over.... now lets see what's on for the 50th! Glad the Dixie Chicks made nice ... Hey I couldn't resist...
