So far, "Higher Ground" acapella kicks Madonna and Coldplay's ass

[omega minimo]

Go ahead and spoiler the Grammy's for the West Coast. Lost comes on in 2 hours.

My GAWD Madonna is lame.

Stevie Wonder singing with Alicia Off-Keyes TROUNCED the pretentious prats THANKYOUVERYMUCH. Give us some SOUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This world sure needs it now.

1. John Legend: was "Ordinary People" written by Bill Murray?

:rofl:

14. C'mon, tell me Murray's lounge singer didn't do "Ordinary People"

2. That was pretty damn cool.

3. Yeah, remember when artists were artists, not products?

:evilgrin:

4. My seven year old was in awe of the fact that Stevie Wonder is blind.

He wanted to know if "the guy knows that everyone's watching him," and he felt Stevie did a "really good job on his hair." :rofl:

5. His hair!

:rofl: :rofl:

:thumbsup: cool kid. Ready for InnerVisions

6. Grammy artists suck

Celebration of corporate rock.
Whoopty-doo

7. Madonna and Coldplay rock!!

I Like Kelly CLarkson too.

12. No way they "rock"-- but Kelly sang her heart out for reals

[Idioteque]

8. Coldplay should have done a Talk/Computerlove collaboration with Kraftwerk

That would've made the night. Kraftwerk are one of the greatest bands of all time, yet they were only nominated for the first time tonight. They deserve much more appreciation from the public, especially since they wrote the melody to Coldplay's 'Talk'.

[Catch22Dem]

9. Agreed

My daughter skated to "Computerlove"

10. Coldplay + Kraftwerk = Radiohead?

Kraftwerk nominated? Were they on the show? (PST time here)

[Idioteque]

11. They were nominated for best electronic/dance album.

It was awarded before the show. The Chemical Brothers won, beating Kraftwerk, LCD Soundsystem, Daft Punk, and Fatboy Slim.

I don't believe Kraftwerk were on the show. It should be noted though, that this was the first time they were ever nominated for a grammy. Kinda sad really.

[omega minimo]

13. Cool. Without Kraftwerk no Devo, without Devo no Dead Kennedys

no lotsa things

[erpowers]

15. Yeah

I agree with you they should have started the show with the "Higher Ground". I think it would have made the show a little better in that people would have gotten an uplifting song instead of the Madonna song. I think it would have been better if Alicia Keyes and Stevie Wonder had been allowed to perform the whole song.

16. Where was Ed McMahan and the judges?

I watched it til LOST. Then I never went back.
