Yeah, they might get my vote, too. I'm fine with the dancing, though I might agree that it is best left to live performances and maybe not the Grammys.
Well, that was a pretty underwhelming show. High marks to DMB and ZBB. Low marks to? Bon Jovi, maybe? I don't know, I started watching their 87 MTV performance in the middle but they looked pretty spineless in what I saw.
Well its officially the Grammys. I wasn't offended until Taylor Swift won album of the year, now it feels right.
At least she seems to honestly appreciate the opportunity she's been given and to be humbled by her success. I don't think that her cd was anywhere close to the best thing out last year (my vote's for K'Naan's "Troubadour") but at least she's not an arrogant ass about it or too cool about it.

1. DMB was awesome as usual, but the dancing doesn't fit that song Dave. 2. ZBB was kind of uninspired, although his flat picking skills are just amazing. Did you see that one cut where Leon Russell looked like he was lost. I don't even think he was playing. It was almost as if he didn't know they were going to play another song. 3. Was Bon Jovi crying during Living on a Prayer? 4. Michael Jackson could still f'ing sing. I was pretty impressed. I didn't pay attention to the rest of it. Oh wait, that Stevie Nicks/Taylor Swift performance was awful. Why does Taylor Swift get so much hype. That was the first time Ive ever seen her sing and it sounded like a high school talent show.

It's not like we had a list of quality competition in the "Album of the Year" category. Who would you have picked out of:
"I Am...Sasha Fierce," Beyoncé "The E.N.D.," The Black Eyed Peas "The Fame," Lady Gaga "Big Whiskey and the Groogrux King," Dave Matthews Band [WINNER] "Fearless," Taylor Swift *
Personally I'd pick Dave Matthews Band. I don't know the album....but he's the only act in that list that I consider to be a real musician and not just a character that sings a song on protools.
Hype is a strange thing. MGMT are still on cruise control because of their hype. Vampire Weekend were on the cover of Spin magazine before they even released an album.
i would have obviously not picked her to win, but i think taylor swift is not too bad. she is a good role-model for young girls, she dresses classy, writes her own lyrics and music. like i said, she wasn't my pick, but i don't have a problem with her winning.
Taylor Swift is a new low for Album of the Year. The Grammy awards suck, but look at the last ten winners in this category: Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Herbie Hancock Dixie Chicks U2 Ray Charles Outkast Norah Jones The O Brother Where Art Thou Soundtrack Steely Dan Santana
All light years ahead of Taylor in musical ability and songwriting. Any of the other four nominees (admittedly, none truly deserving) would have been a much better choice.

I can't understand hype.
I would have picked Beyonce, way more deserving than Taylor Swift who couldn't actually sing to save her life.

I think the girl can sing,I just didn't realize that the Grammys had become The Teen Choice Awards.Ohwell.At least I did see where Steve Earle won Best Contemporary Folk Album again,and Neil won Best Box Set.It would have been great if Phoenix and MGMT could have won their categories.

The Grammys have been like that for years now. It isn't really about the music as much as it is about who's hot right at this moment. It's a pop-culture thing more than it is about who's talented musically and what their contribution to music is.
MGMT up for "Best New Band"? Shouldn't they have been nominated last year or the year before that? MGMT haven't done anything lately that makes me understand why they'd get a Grammy nomination for this year's awards.

I just read thru this thread and laughed my ass off! That was the first time I saw/heard Lady Gaga, I wasn't as frightened as I thought I would have been. Me no likey Taylor Swift! KOL, way to mention getting drunk in your speech:) Classy. I detest Bon Jovi.... The Michael Jackson tribute was an interesting combination of preformers. Dave, way to go, lets stop dancing on national television. Zach BB.... may have sparked some interest with me.... Overall.... Grammys suck asses asses!

Have you listened to any of her full albums or seen her live in concert? If not....what are you basing your opinion on?
I have listened to the album nominated, and there are about a billion live clips of both her and Taylor Swift floating around. If we are comparing live performances then its an even bigger difference, Taylor Swift can't sing live because she doesn't have a good voice. Beyonce actually has some talent.
