No Grammys thread? (1 Viewer)

Didn’t see a thread. Miley Cyrus looks like Phyllis Diller. Scary.

Sza was great. Love Kill Bill.

Who hired Trevor Noah? He is pretty much unfunny. Just frantic word salad.

Yeah I don’t like him at all. The kids seem to like him though. But I don’t get it,

I tuned in just for Tracy Chapman. So amazing. But so far it was Billie Eilish that blew me away. Miley was a hot mess (and lol at her yelling at the crowd when they weren’t into it enough).

 

[timschochet]

Miley’s hair is weird but her performance was good.

Billie Eilish was spectacular doing the Barbie song. What a gorgeous tune.

Miley’s performance was like a bad off-strip Vegas show. Her dance moves were laughable and throwing the mic stand at the end was cringeworthy.

Billie’s performance was a masterclass in vocal control and emotional connection.

Tried to watch but discovered you have to upgrade your paramount + to include showtime to get it live. They don’t want me to watch it I guess.

And the biggest fan in the audience is . . . Taylor Swift. Up and dancing to the performances of the other artists.

Too bad Luke Combs had to be there. He should just realize he sucks and let Tracey go alone.

That was a good performance by Olivia Rodrigo.

 

[timschochet]

Olivia is great.

Really? I thought he’s done a decent enough job.

Olivia is great.

She is indeed but that song is dog poo.

Cool that Tracy was up there. She sounded great. I’m sure she got a nice little paycheck too from all the success that Combs’ version had.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Olivia is really good. For those bemoaning the lack of mainstream rock music nowadays, her new album, Guts, rocks pretty good at times. Yes, it's pop rock, but the songs are mostly excellent (the two singles Bad Idea Right and Get Him Back! are the only two misfires).

 

[timschochet]

New album by Taylor coming.

She truly is a force of nature.

Holy moly - Annie Lennox - that is not the song for you. That was rough.

Her call for ceasefire at the end though was pretty true to Sinead.

 

[SoBeDad]

Billie Eillish! Great song, will likely win the Academy Award too. The song had a big impact on me when I heard it the first time in the movie theater.

 

[Capella]

Wow Joni Mitchell. This is a great show.

 

[bigbottom]

Joni Mitchell - just amazing.

 

[Chaz McNulty]

Wow Joni Mitchell. This is a great show.

Best moment of the show so far.

 

[Capella]

Idk that Tracy Chapman one was great too. Two really awesome performances.

 

[timschochet]

Loved Joni. But it seems to me like, if I’m remembering correctly, she did a slowed down jazz version of “Both Sides Now” around 20 years ago. So this is similar, no?

 

[Chaz McNulty]

Wow Joni Mitchell. This is a great show.

I agree. Although the house got a little dusty when Joni started singing.

 

[timschochet]

The guy performing now- his style is the same kind of music I hear these days whenever I go shopping with the kids to clothing stores. I don’t know what you call it but I really don’t like it.

 

[bigbottom]

Not getting this Travis Scott performance - but I’m admittedly biased because of what happened at Astroworld. Know people who lost friends at that show.

 

[eoMMan]

Crazy that Kylie Minogue is 55 years, she looks fantastic. She won best pop dance with Padam Padam.

Anyone know why Killer Mike was escorted out by the police in cuffs before the show?

 

[ekbeats]

I’m loving this show. Best in many years in my humble opinion. Loved the Joni Mitchell moment. And so impressed with the young female artists. Such a good vibe to the show this year.

No, and the news doesn't, either. There is speculation that there was a physical altercation and that he might be released shortly/a little later.

Good for her man. That’s awesome.

I don't know but I reckon he probably should have gone by Not Killer Mike. Throw the cops off his trail.

Ever since I first heard of him 2 minutes ago, I've been googling JellyRoll. I would like to know everything about him.

Thanks Rock. Good to see you, big bottom, Tim, all you guys. I always look for the comments from you all on this night.

Second straight year Molly Tuttle and her band have won best bluegrass album. No complaints from me though - it is well deserved as was last year, although I would've loved to see Sam Bush win one for his great tribute record to John Hartford.

 

[TripItUp]

"Fast Car" is the GOAT pop song as far as I'm concerned.

Amazing performance by Chapman and Combs.

Amazing performance by Chapman and Combs.

in 1988, there was a Nelson Mandela tribute at Wembley.

Stevie Wonder was about to come on stage, and his pre-recorded tracks were lost, and he was unable to perform. Stevie left the venue, in tears. Crowd was getting restless, and the promoters asked Chapman to play something/anything as they set up for the next act. Chapman had performed a 3 song set earlier in the show.

With an acoustic guitar, she performed Fast Car and Talkin' About a Revolution. 80,000 in the venue, around 600 million estimated worldwide.

The debut album had sold about 250,000 copies at that point, and sold around 2 million over the next two weeks.

Oh this has to be a joke. Luke Combs sucks? That's hilarious. Guy has a fantastic voice.

Yeah, I started off not really wanting him to be there, but by the end of the song, he had won me over. That said, having a good voice is one thing, and creating a work of art is another, and she was the creator. He’s just a guy doing a cover (and a straight up cover at that) so I was glad to see him pay homage at the end.

She is getting royalties off "his version" so I have zero issues......... i like his version

I’m not hating on the guy. His version is good. Largely because he did a straight up cover rather than trying to “make it his own.” Even kept the line referring to himself as a “checkout girl.” As he even said in his interview, recording the tune was a spur of the moment idea he had when he was in the studio recording his album. He didn’t really bring anything creatively to the tune other than his good voice (which I admit is quite good). So yeah, it’s a good cover, but let’s face it, everyone in that audience wanted to see Tracy, me included. But like I said, he won me over - and then he did the right thing by paying homage to her. Which he should do because this is her creation and he is benefitting big time from it. As for her getting royalties, I sure hope she still has the publishing rights and that is indeed the case.
