I really didn't like the whole thing...it lacked something. The performances even though they were mostly live, weren't as vibrant as they usually are.
thumbs down this year!

Im sooo upset

I missed Shakira's performance. How can I see it?

I like Cristina, but she bores me in times with her style of singing, I think it was a bit too much screaming.

True dat! John Mayer is sounding better and better. (just hard to look at the faces he makes everytime he plays live )
I liked the The Police reunion thingy, although the version of Roxanne they played was.. meh.. ok

You guys know who The Police IS, right? band from the late 70s' early80's? no?

Did you hear Jamie Foxx say that when Snoop Dogg heard The Police were there he ran out! I thought that was funny.
I never liked that Roxanne song anyway, so to me it was :meh: I'd rather they'd sung Don't stand so close or their anthem, what's the name of that song? Every step I take, every move you make, blah, blah, blah...
As for John Mayer, I'm shopping tonight at limewire.com for my copy of Continuum. But yeah, the faces are hard to watch.

What's the diff between ALBUM of the year and RECORD of the year?
Always thought it was the same thing

BTW, Corinne nominated for 3 grammy's!

The album is the whole CD. The record is the single.

I saw most of it last night. It was okay. I guess that's the one show to see where, like the Festival de la Solidaridad fundraiser here in Toronto, you get to see many different kinds of music in one stage. I really liked the trio of John Legend, Corinne Bailey and John Mayer when they performed. Shakira was lively and awesome as usual. The Dixie Chicks roooooocked the house. The one thing I didn't like, and it annoys me every year, is that all the divas choose songs where they have to scream their guts out and most of the time it is so overly done that it doesn't sound good. That's why I liked the subtle performance of Legend, Bailey and Mayer. It was all nice and soft. JT was :meh: and Carrie Underwood was sweet. Oh, and I've had a Beyonce overload. I can't stand that voice anymore.

Also in the Album of the Year category and tying with five nods each: Dixie Chicks (for Taking the Long Way) and John Mayer (for Continuum). James ''You're Beautiful'' Blunt and Prince also scored five nods, while Beyoncé, Gnarls Barkley, T.I., and Justin Timberlake got four.

The list of nominees was announced Thursday morning in Los Angeles by a slate of recording artists including Justin Timberlake, Mary J.
