I'm pleasantly surprised at the winners, who are all mostly agreeable and deserving.
foo figthers and bon iver FTW!!
Not a fan of the Grammys they seem to love some people and ignore others (case in point Taylor Swift wining everything yeah right ,and who the hell is Bon Iver when Bruno Mars was there....),I tend to watch out for the good performances afterwards.
Anyway this year I was really looking forward to the Whitney Houston tribute and while I love Jennifer Hudson and appreciate the time was short etc, I dint honestly feel that her tribute was worthy imho.
No performance this year was stand-out even the much touted Adele ,her performance was so-so( I have seen and heard her perform better on youtube) . Tony Bennett was painful to watch,so was FooFighters. Nicky Minaj was crazy but interesting (not standout) Rihanna and Coldplay were just okay I guess. Chris Brown as usual wowed more with his dance moves as opposed to his voice. The country singers sent me to sleep :)moreless
I don't watch the grammys, because I'm a big fan of music and I agree with you that they ignore a lot of the good ones.. but "who the hell is bon iver when bruno mars was there"?.. Bon Iver is damn good! FAR better than bruno mars.. Don't get me wrong bruno mars is good but you shouldn't say "who the hell is this" when you don't even know who they are, i suggest you first listen to them and then you can judge, it'll be worth your time i promise.. (not saying it in a bad tone or anything, just recommending)
cheers
