*GRAMMY THREAD" With Spoilers in here so left-coasters can avoid them.

[DS1]

Spoiler one - Tina Turner fails to look close to 70 years old


:crazy:

[lost-in-nj]

1. She is beautiful

I could not believe it

and she sounds

magnificent


lost

[JackBeck]

2. She was fantastic.

The performances have been worlds more interesting than the actual awards. Kind of been that way for a few years now.

[Shakespeare]

3. Weirdest red carpet pic from tonight's festivities.

[Shakespeare]

7. And Bai Ling borrowed her dress from Bjork.

[LynneSin]

22. Who is Bai Ling and why does she come to all these events

I mean, ok, I could point out Bai Ling in a line-up but I don't even think I could name one movie she was in.

I thought the Grammys was about music

[Chovexani]

16. Yoko's starting to look like a Batman villain.

[Maddy McCall]

4. Did anyone see Kanye's acceptance speech?:

What an asshole he was.

Total, complete asshole.

[DS1]

5. no, not watching

50 cent version, please?


pun intended

[Maddy McCall]

6. Here's what he said:

I deserve this award. I basically broke into this place five years ago, and now I own it.

When the music started playing, to get him off the stage, he threw a minor tantrum. Then he said that the only people who deserve album or artist of the year (or whatever) are Amy Winhouse, some other artist, and him.

He said that he told someone (maybe Fiddy) not to release his album the same year.

Just a bunch of gloating and assholery.

[DS1]

8. Didn't he rush the stage at some show when he didn't win?

and grab the mike and complain.

Yeah, rhetorical question, I know he did.

[Maddy McCall]

9. I'll take your word for it.

After what he did tonight, I would find that very believable. SNL made fun of him about it.

I'm sure there'll be a youtube of it soon.

[DS1]

10. here it is

halfway through, whiney ass

[MonkeyFunk]

20. Gawd, I just saw it

what a dick.

[fishwax]

11. Vince Gill (of all people) just took him down a peg, though

Ringo gave him the award for best country something or other, and VG said: "I just got given an award by a Beatle--have you had that happen yet, Kanye?"

We got a laugh out of that :)

[Maddy McCall]

13. I only caught the tail end of what he said...

thanks. :rofl:

[pdx_prog]

23. That was great

hip hop and rap will never be music. These people just make a mockery of the Grammy's. They call it Music for a reason!

[Maddy McCall]

12. Jerry Lee Lewis and Fogerty...

and Little Richard.

Pretty awesome closing to the show.

[libnnc]

14. Little Richard looks wonderful!

[Maddy McCall]

15. I thought Jerry Lee did well!

But it's hard to believe that he's only two years older than Tina Turner. :wow:

[JTG of the PRB]

17. I'm just thrilled that these guys won...

Otherwise, I didn't have much interest in the Grammy Awards this year.

[libnnc]

18. As a jazz lover

WHAT A FANTASTIC NIGHT!!

Album of the Year to Herbie Hancock for River: The Joni Letters!

:applause:

[ironflange]

19. ive never been fond of amy winehouse

i watched her performance though and have to admit now that shes actually pretty good
quite interesting and provocative
in a weird sort of way
she seemed sober too

i thought i saw her naked woman arm tattoo wearing a swimsuit

too bad though i wanted feist to win best new artist or anything for that matter
she attended the same high school my daughter goes to now

[Dr. Strange]

21. If Dick Clark and Tina Turner had a kid...

it would live to be 244 years old.
