no thanks.

Grammys can suck it , who gives a shit about some bullshit award given to some bullshit “artist” by a puppet .
Great list of nominations and I like many of those bands. How many will we see on the show? Answer is zero. Did you see how fast the Black Sabbath Lifetime Achievement announcement went by? Screw the Grammys. Actually Gaga was good (she usually is). Otherwise - screw the Grammys.
Watching now, not a major country fan, but the Dolly Parton tribute was great. And it lets me see and hear performances this middle old white guy might not normally be exposed to and while may not like some of it, often surprised.

Surprise , surprise ....USA Today online’s entire front page is all Grammy coverage.... no real news!
Only someone as old, crusty, and "dad at the disco" as Vid would suggest that watching the Grammys - in any year - is in any way shape or form a "young, hip" activity.
Second only to the Macy's Day Parade in youthful hipness and non-lameness!
Quoted from Pickle:I think Vid is more like a collective, an all knowing entity with all that he shares.
Still waiting for Vid’s guide to playing the lottery to win and Sports betting guide....bet he knows a thing or two on these subjects and how not lose your ass!!!
I work in the industry and can tell you the secret to winning......play pinball and keep your money in your pocket....it's that easy.
Vid, I'm with you 99.99% of the time, but I think you lost me on this one. Next thing you know, you'll be wanting to discuss who wore it best on the red carpet.

You nailed it!!! But unfortunately buying pins does not help keep money in my pocket either.... 
Quoted from cosmokramer:Leftist windbags...no reason at all to tune in
Amen Cosmokramer, you nailed it!
Sana'a

Quoted from Honch:Vid, I'm with you 99.99% of the time, but I think you lost me on this one. Next thing you know, you'll be wanting to discuss who wore it best on the red carpet.
I used to be an entertainer.
So I enjoy seeing the entertainers who are at the top of their craft.
I like seeing $15,000 guitars or even a jazz singer playing 2 grand pianos at once, barefoot.
I mean, is there anything Alicia Keys can't do???
alicia (resized).jpgQuoted from xsvtoys:Best Rap "Song" lol
Rap is just a fad!!!!
Quoted from TheLaw:Yeah I'm sure Diana was "playing" that guitar.
That's what I was wondering. Did any of them actually play anything on those guitars? Other than maybe strumming a few basic chords? Also how much if the good ole lip syncing was going on.? I heard something about Cardi D, a singer I have never heard of but I am sure is extremely famous and popular and has sold trillions of streams.
Quoted from VectorGamer:Surprised this thread made it to page 2
It's mostly just vid posts but you had to know the "rap is crap!!!" gang and "I hate liberals!!!" crowd would manage to beef it up to page 2!
Quoted from xsvtoys:Also how much if the good ole lip syncing was going on.?
Grammys do not allow lip syncing. EVERY mic on stage must be live.
Sometimes horns that are syths on the album, are played live at the Grammy.
I have seen where the intro phrase is the same sample as the album, so obviously they allow some sampling.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:It's mostly just vid posts but you had to know the "rap is crap!!!" gang and "I hate liberals!!!" crowd would manage to beef it up to page 2!
Vid, you are truly a renaissance man. I agree about Alicia, musicians musician, and classy caring woman to boot. Oh, and for us middle old guys, it wasn't bad seeing 73 year old Dolly, and 75 year old Diana lighting up the stage. And Bob Newhart wasn't bad either playing the grim reaper in a 20 year old suit. LOL
Thanks for posting the Winners, vid.
Weird Al picked up an award.
Look forward to hearing all this music in 20 to 40 years, because my radio is locked to the "oldies station" which is on the 80s and 90s right now!
Quoted from vid1900:St. Vincent of course played her own signature Music Man model that she designed.
[quoted image]
This was the best performance of the night bar none. Big St. Vincent fan. Seen her quite a few times in concert over the past 10 years.
2nd generation “classic rock” like Motley Crue, Def Leppard, and Bob Jovi is too new for my liking. I’ll stuck to The Beatles, Stones, Who, Guess Who, CSNY, Zepp, and the like. I’m stuck in my ways. The best music is rock music from 1966–1982. Yes, that’s all old white guys now. Thank you very much.
Quoted from CrazyLevi:but you had to know the "rap is crap!!!" gang .......would manage to beef it up to page 2!
Especially when there was probably the least rap in 30 years.
It was mostly Oldies, Country and Hip Hop.

Less Rap, but plenty of Hip Hop?
