Devin McCourty & Edelman just awarded the first Grammy o fthe night to Lady Gaga - Best Pop Duet or Group performance. Cool.
D Mac on the Grammys
- Thread starter BigLou
- Start date
Not sure I should be thanked but with D Mac off the stage, the show may be past its peak.
He did look good on stage.
Off topic- Did you see any of pictures of the fire in the 43rd Friday night? One of my friends put up this helmet cam video of the initial attack. Wild video:
this is the first year that I am totally not going to watch a minute. Its sad but I don't know most of the songs...and when did all the pop, song, and record nominations seem to be dominated by rap and hip hop even though they have their own seperate catagories
I will admit I have watched to see what everyone is wearing.
(not the ones in tuxedos)
Most of the awards that might be of interest to some of us in rock are not done as part of the show.
Beck won for best alternative music album.
Here were the nominees, and I was not aware any of them had released music recently:
Tranquility Base Hotel + Casino by Arctic Monkeys
Utopia by Björk
American Utopia by David Byrne
Masseduction by St. Vincent

I don't respect any of the music being made and popularized today
yes the majority of the people on that show are so in tune with the average american core value and lifestyle..
Cardi B is trash, someone like this should not be nominated for Grammys.....this is pure slumming by the Grammy association. Has nothing to do with race or color and everything to do with them pandering for ratings and popularity at the expense of quality
also the rock nominations are bizarre. I realize that rock has taken a hit lately. Those nominations were a joke because there is some quality stuff out there but they are just nominating older acts because they dont seem to be in tune with what is happening...and yes Greta Von Fleet is new...and solid enough but come on, I really want to like them and I like some of the songs but good lord I think they are overhyped...do something besides a Led Zep cover album and I might be able to get into them.
did Imagine Dragons get nominated? They are the worst....some watered down rock mixed with that annoying EDM production which is ruining music today. They are the Nickleback of the 2010s

who is Childish Gambino
I saw Dua Lipa on the New Years show on Channel 7...its dancy kind of stuff but she seems to have the vocal talents.
as much as I love his prior work.....Chris Cornell? really come on Grammys that song barely qualifies as rock

Looks like he is cleaning lint out of her belly button:
Her newer album cover is more wholesome:
I am all for alternative females but I do not like that Masseduction song at all.
That Cardi B girl is really something. Took a string stand in support of Colin Kapernick against the NFL by saying she would not do the halftime show.
Of course she did do a Super Bowl commercial for Pepsi and played a Super Bowl event the night before the game for which I imagine she was well paid. But what the hell

I think I better stop listing to the oldies stations, don't have a clue of who most of the winners are and probably no idea of how their songs sound.
Now my complaint : oldies stations aren't playing the songs I grew up listing to, they're playing what my kids listened to that I called trash [winking]
Great station that we listen to live when we are in Arizona:

I caught a video from our mutual friend, CM. Definitely a night for salty men.
Miss that place. Had a lot of character and salty characters. But they always get the big jobs done.
Which is why anyone who gets bent out of shape over things celebs say needs to take a deep breath.
I can't remember the last time I watched this nonsense.It is all disposable,worthless garbage. Thirty years from now, few will even be remembered. In fifty years, it will rarely be heard anywhere (how much Elvis,Buddy Holly,Beatles,Eddie Cochran,Chuck Berry,etc. have you heard lately). 99% of these "musicians" couldn't spell Mason Gross,Curtis,Eastman,Juilliard,Oberlin,etc. if you put a gun to their head. Forget about actually getting in and graduating.
Why does it matter whether they could have been admitted to Mason Gross or Julliard? What college did Elvis graduate from? Chuck Berry? Springsteen? McCartney?
I respect a lot of music being made today, just not the music that is popularized.
I like it, and the album by the same name a lot, but Los Ageless and New York are better songs. Her previous self-titled album is great.
This year's songs were so bad that the performances last night were majority retro songs
We finally agree, Bac. Cardi B is an untalented, illiterate piece of trash that unfortunately is winning the popularity contest among today’s “youth.” Her music is straight garbage and highly inappropriate but what can I say...social media popularity is winning over actual artistry today. She should have never sniffed a Grammy award.
yes that basically wasnt good but its not about quality...I see why they went with her
however why not just get all the living Motown people up there and have them do it with NO younger artists. I am sure they can pull it off with Diana Ross and Smokey but I bet the egoes are too big
