U2...lame pop. What happned to these guys?
Coldplay - very good
Stevie Wonder with the Jonas Bros....ouch!
Katy Perry..yum
Kanye West...please tell me why this guy is supposed to be so great. Just another hip hop rapper to me. High quality garbage is still garbage
Adelle...good to see that overweight chics can still win awards
MIA...what a mess. What in the heck kind of noise is this?
Originally posted by badmoonDespite the apeal of their music, unfortunately, I can't listen to them because of their lyrics. But then again if the lyrics had been too good they might only have sold 20% of the records they did. Too much 'say almost nothing - let the listener project themselves onto our songs' going on for my liking. It's not genuine communication. It's more a kind of lucrative manipulation. But, I stress, I am not calling for Coldplay to be made illegal.
Coldplay - very good
Originally posted by badmoonthey're a good live band and know how to tap into the american market, something that a lot of english bands have failed to do. i'm not a big fan myself but i can see why people vote for them in these awards. imo muse are a far better band but they don't get any credit in the states.
I'm not a fan and have no recordibgs, I simply think that it was a good performance.
re U2 - should've quit a long long time ago.
Other grammy comments:
Poor Stevie Wonder, having to put up with the Jonas Bros. they suck. If he knew how they looked, he wouldn't have let that happen. That lead singer wouldn't know R & B if it bit him on the ass.
Nice to see the Dirty Dozen Brass with Professor Long Hair doing "Go to the Mardi Gras" I didn't even mind the rappers throwing it down with Feet Don't Fail Me Now.
Liked the use of the USC Marching Band by Radio Head, wonder if any of those college dudes got lucky afterwards?
You want to wake me up when the Robert Plant/ Allison Krouse album stops playing. You think she's squeezing his lemons?
If Jennifer Hudson is singing at the church, I'm converting to Baptist, that voice is truly awesome. Shame about her families deaths, it's a wonder she can still perform.
