Am award shows freak,but my least fav ("fav"?!1 "FAVE"?) is Grammys - PSA here for whoever likes it.

[UTUSN]

Top it off, the host/James CORDRAY/CORDON/COwhatever (I dislike him so much I won't even Google him).

However, I now forget there was something I wanted to see =- OH, I remember, Patti LUPONE and LLOYD-WEBER sidelined their feud so that she can sing her Evita thing, in the 10 o'clock hour!1111111

Uh, why is - whassthe name, Tom CRUISE's ex- - featured on Grammys - don't recall she's known for SOUND/VOICE/whatever.

*****************ON EDIT, I cared enough to Google LLOYD-WEBBER to correct the above. WEBER with one "b" is the classical music dude.

1. Grammy's seem OK to me. Great songs, great performers, great entertainment.

[UTUSN]

5. I dropped into a VFW in Florida years ago and the place was empty except for the bartender and her

husband. I downed my beverages and made conversation and the couple was apologetic for there not being stuff going on and said, "Friday we'll have live music and a fish fry..."

I said, "I don't need that much entertainment..."

So: I don't need staged events, performances, entertainment. The party's in my head. But I'm open to what's going on!1

2. Normally, I would agree with you.

However, I have felt since Trump, I need music more then I have for the past few years. I also try to keep the brain open to new younger music.

I'm listening to music a few hours a day now, normally as a backdrop because it makes me happy.

You wanna dance?

[Ohiogal]

3. I hear you

Music always takes me away from the insanity, I'd go crazy without it.

Even tho I'm a child of the 60 s and 70s, I try to listen to new stuff as well, I'm open to any music that is unique and the artist is talented

[UTUSN]

4. Me (dance) ?!1 Well, both of you (posts 1&2) make super points, but I'm so old and embittered I

abandoned long term commitment EVEN to music itself, except for certain spontaneous outbursts at Happy Hours with super sound satellite jukeboxes. An example would be, "Goodbye Stranger". But sincere thanks for the non-judging!1

ON EDIT: You saw through me:

"You wanna dance?"

6. Grammys opened with a Kendrick Lamar song dissing trump and Fox News. .. Not so bad ..

Middle of the performance then gets interrupted by Dave Chappelle standing to the side who then speaks without any music
"Hi, I'm Dave Chappelle," the comedian deadpanned. "And I just wanted to remind the audience that the only thing more frightening than watching a black man be honest in America is being an honest black man in America. Sorry for the interruption"
Then goes back to Lamar and music

[UTUSN]

7. You know me, erratic/contradictory!1

[lunasun]

10. ThAts ok Lamar not everybody's cup of tea - dissenter or not . But your stuff is coming up next!

[UTUSN]

14. My "stuff" *INDEED*!1 - Thanks!1

[UTUSN]

8. Gotta say, the Kesha performance was totally powerful. Not like the Country version of angelinheaven

That version of "angel" took all the heart out of it and just made it pitiful

[UTUSN]

9. LUPONE singing "Don't Cry for Me Argentina" - NEXT after the break!!!!!!!!1

[UTUSN]

11. Lenny BERNSTEIN - "Somewhere"!!!!!!!!!!!! If anything defines "duet" this is, and not presented here

The dude Ben whosit, well it's over.

[UTUSN]

12. O.K., the LUPONE is doing it.

That was the only show I saw live, with LUPONE. I still remember her scene leaving the stage with a shoulder shrug thing. Wow, her voice sounds great, not so brassy.

[UTUSN]

13. Since this marks the "over" of the feud, a nice touch would have been for Lord LLOYD-WEBBER to come

He was somewhere in town since he did the arrangement to cut a minute off of it and they rehearsed together.

[lunasun]

17. He sported a times up pin on the red carpet

Andrew Lloyd Webber is in a great mood while walking the red carpet at the 2018 Grammy Awards held at Madison Square Garden on Sunday (January 28) in New York City.

[UTUSN]

15. Just to wear out my welcome forever: Record of the Year should have been DESPACITO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

But then, among cognocetti here even something like Hotel California has been denigrated to pieces. Am talking IMPACT/over-play-ability/accessibility.

Nighty-night!1

[Iggo]

16. I agree, since it was the record of the year.

Even I know that.

[UTUSN]

18. Thank you. I'm taking you as non-snarky, now/so thanks again!1

[Iggo]

19. Straight up on that one.

[lunasun]

20. Music companies have their influence on votes at the Grammys . But if you look at Billboard for 2017

then yes music listeners agree with you
Oh no musicians we lost next
sob

[OilemFirchen]

21. To wit: Leonard Cohen wins his first solo Grammy.

Jesus fuck.
