I thought it was pretty awful. Opening act with Beyoncé and her thug husband was classless, ghetto trash. Google the lyrics. Four bleeps in the opening act??? Too much rap, as opposed to music, overall. Country acts showed class, though I had turned it off before the Willie Nelson et al act. Half the winners couldn't put an intelligible sentence together.....
Kind of curious as to why during In Memoriam part of the show Jeff Hanneman and Clive Burr were snubbed?Hanneman having been a two time Grammy winner and Burr having given a face to MS long before any other celebrity,it doesn't make sense not to mention these two.
Grammies=Shammies.The whole thing has been a joke for many years now.
With the ratio of good acts compared to bad, it's like digging through a turd pile looking for a dollar.
In otherwords, it's not worth my time!
Most music acts today are lame and pointless, feeding off their own self driven egos.
If you had to pick one music style worth listening to for talent performers it would have to be country/western.
Rap, R & B, Soul, Rock...they've all been thrown into some insane music-meatgrinder, and the listening audience is supposed to eat that crap up with blind devotion.
I don't think so!
Fortunately for me my satellite radio has a station that I just love. It plays a majority of the songs I loved from the 80's, and not the pop songs, but the new wave/punk songs that wouldn't be played on regular FM radio. Basically 80's club music.
they mostly are (like the oscars) but the Grammys are usually better because its mainly performances with only the biggest awards thrown in. There are always a couple of good ones, but I agree with a lot of you that there is a lot of crap out there today!
I like country music, but I just cannot understand old school country music (like Willie Nelson and the rest of those old dudes who played) it's like the most boring music in the world... scratch that, James Taylor already holds that title!
Wow, Slammin Willie Nelson ......and James Taylor....go ahead, just say something bad about Johnny Cash and I will start a pettition to deport your a$$ back to Canada w/ your buddy Beiber
"If you're arguing with an idiot, make sure he isn't doing the same thing."
Johnny Cash at least had some style and wrote some good tunes..
I actually like a lot of Taylor's songs, but listening to him is a good cure for insomnia

And you can't leave out Hank Williams Sr.
Heck, he wrote many songs that made others famous!
There were 2 local bands that have dissolved into music history (only just recently).
One was "The Spurs" that played country swing.
The other, an offshoot of "The Spurs" called "The Coachmen" that played nuttin' but drinkin' and truck drivin' songs.
The lead singer of both bands was Allen Sheinfeld, who looks like a cross between Buddy Holly after a week-long bender and Dennis the Menace's father.
But boy can he sing those drinking and driving songs!!!
