Sting can no longer sing the unsingable parts in “Roxanne”. Suck.
Prince was wasted introducing Beyonce.
Dixie Chicks?! Gads.
I love me some Wyclef. He and Shakira were actually a highlight.
The tiny in-audience stage was a horrible idea. At least as far as giving/receiving awards goes.
Gnarls Barkley did a boring slo-mo version of “Crazy”, but it’s worth mentioning for the apparent choir, which seemed to be made up of astronauts. OMG LOL!
Far too much Eagles by Carrie Underwood and Rascal Flats. Dear lord make it stop.
RIAA: “We will destroy these children if you don’t stop pirating our music!” What? He actually didn’t mention piracy? Huh…
Who the hell was that dancing for the James Brown thing? And I guess that was Mr. Brown’s original cape dude…?
The “My Grammy Moment” thing wasn’t even tragic. I suppose all the contestants were already in the record industry pipeline.
The DIXIE CHICKS?!?!? Huh…
Never really pictured Chris Rock as a RHCP fan. Then they won best rock album for that snoozer of theirs. Guh.
Oh, come on now… The Dixie Chicks?!?! SERIOUSLY?!?!?
Re: Sting, I have been thinking about this a lot lately, as I just bought the latest Robyn Hitchcock album and was sorely disappointed as it’s mellow as hell. When I listen I keep expecting those awesome refrains but the voice always drops down a register just when I am hoping to be blown away and I end up being disappointed. Same with Paul Simon…James Taylor…maybe they should just rest on their laurels and if they’ve got more song left in them they should write for younger artists? Or put a disclaimer sticker on their cds. I know - harsh.
I just looked at the list of nominees and I must say my addiction to podcasts has rendered me completely clueless about pop music - RHCP, seriously? I would have voted for The Raconteurs.
