Song of the year = Songwriter(s)

One is a producers award, one is a songwriters award. Kind of like best director vs best original screenplay.That's why I'm confused. The Lorde chick won song of the year.

Ended with a bang.

Rewound it back to that performance, one of the best I have seen on the Grammys. I had never heard of either of those two bands/artists nor the songs but it was pretty cool.

To be fair, the songs aren't really for me but the performance was outstanding. Too many of the performances lacked energy, even NIN and Queens at the end who I do like.

Yeah she looks unwell. Seems to have trouble moving, even for someone her age. Now keeps those bony arms covered up too.I'd still bang the crap out of her though.

Taylor Swift is a naughty, naughty girl. I guarantee she is wild behind closed doors.

LOL - I said it was a combo of both..

I thought the book on her was that she is absolutely not a naughty girl, which is why she has so many ex boyfriends.
Last night was the first time I had watched in a while from start to finish. Really enjoyed it. McCartney was good, nine inch nails better than I expected, Stevie wonder with pharrell was cool. Urban and Gary Clark was enjoyable. Katy perry performance and Metallica were awful. Kasey musgraves hopefully made a leap last night.

I don't think she looked bad. She was using a cane due to a dance injury. That's what was mentioned after the show.

Thought Kendrick Lamar/Imagine Dragons owned the show. Felt bad for the country chick who had to immediately followed. Such a contrast in energy.

Thought she did very well but its time to take off your Christmas decorations.
I also thought the Kendrick guy ruined what ID was doing. Could have used a lot less of him and more of the actual ID singing.

Metallica were all out of sorts, as if they haven't played together in awhile. Or maybe it was a mix thing.
I'm not sure anybody's instrument was audible in Imagine Dragons, aside from the singer and the guitar player for a brief two second moment with an ebow. I didn't catch much of what the Lamar guy was saying, but he sounded good. Ultimately, it came off to me as a glorified karaoke performance. Then again, I was hammered so it's possible eyes and ears were out of sync.
I thought the best performance was Nile Rodgers, Pharrell, Daft Punk, and Stevie.

My wife and I felt bad for her too. Maybe it was good on it's own if you're into that music, but the song was cheesy IMO and following the best performance of the night, it just fell flat.

Everyone's musical taste is different i guess. To me it felt like an arena type performance followed by a ukelele player.

I liked Daft Punk a lot. Cool to see everyone up and dancing to that.

At least she is starting to look more like an adult female. Typically she's looked like a little Amish girl, kind of mousy and boring. The crazy head gestures while she's playing the piano are a bit much, but at least now it seems plausible that her cherry has been popped. I doubt she parties or is any fun to hang out with though.

Swift looks like a woman now. A very hot woman. She will figure the sex out, if she hasn't already.

YOU DON'T TALK ABOUT HER LIKE THAT!!!! "Boring, mousy?" For shame. She is and was always a naughty girl. Respect.

Watched to see the two Beatles and neither did a Beatles song. I guess we'll get lots of that on Feb 9th. Thought the McCartney song was bad, but loved Photograph. George wrote it so it was appropriate. Paul sang well, but I just don't like the song.
Didn't watch all of it. Will finish it tonight. Pink was great. I liked the old country guys. The crowd seemed to like it too. The Daft Punk schtick is kind of annoying and screams one hit wonder, but love seeing Nile Rodgers. Friggin' legend and it is a real catchy song. I liked Taylor Swift. I liked the Imagine/Dragons thing. Lorde was bizarre. Didn't get it. Laughed at the rock category with the Stones, Paul McCartney with the rest of Nirvana, and Black Sabbath. Can you say commercial rock is dead?? Pitiful. Beyonce is stunning. Don't get the song, but it's not for me, so that's OK. I liked the cute country chick with the light up boots. Thought the song was pretty good. Maybe I just liked her legs...

Calling Daft Punk a one-hit wonder is like calling the Grateful Dead a one-hit wonder after Touch of Grey.

I didn't think most of the new album was up to their earlier work. Or even the TRON soundtrack, for that matter.

Kendrick Lamar is so much more confident as a performer these days. He spent basically all of 2013 playing just about every festival imaginable, and it is evident. He commands the stage in a big way. GKMC is a great album, but I am eager to see what KL is going to do next.
Mettallica was a train wreck. Pure sonic garbage.
I agree about Imagine Dragons and Kendrick......inaudible, out of control and just not good. Energy was there...but the sound was not.
Agree about Nile Rodgers and company......very professional and high energy performance. Just great old school R&B vibes going.
I loved Urban and Clark. They shredded and you felt that tune. I thought Thicke with Chicago was very tight as well. Paul and Ringo? And you play a new tune....not a classic? Blech....whatever.
And Ringo's lounge act performance? Are you kidding me.....really? That was seriously corny and just bad IMO. I know he is rock royalty.....but that was cruise ship quality.
Pink is a pro.
John Legend was spectacular. Pure gold. His vocals are flawless.
Royals was a brilliant performance. She does not care about what anyone thinks....she is totally into her stuff and was in a zone.
I thought Taylor Swift was very good. I am not a fan but her performance was one of the best I had ever seen from her. I thought when she first broke out she was a weak live performer.....she has improved big time. The song was good, the vocals were real....the only thing I did not like was the contrived hair going back and forth on the Piano.....pure rehersed BS...obviously.
NIN and Lindsay, Queens of the Stone Age......very ho hum and a lousy closer to an otherwise pretty good Grammy night.
The last few shows have had a lot of great performances. I am not into the mixing and mathcing BS.....just give me the artists doing there stuff.
Would have loved to have seen Muse take the stage and show everyone what a top line rock band is supposed to sound like today. They are clearely in my eyes right now the best rock/progressive/alternative band around (at least until Porcupine Tree get's back together).

What was up with random people performing the nominee's songs when being introduced in each category? That was odd.

Stevie kept missing the hand signalsI only caught the part where Stevie Wonder forgot to sing, and Pharell kept giving him signals that it was his verse.
Where can I find it online?
