Anybody else watching ? Who are you rooting for?

[sj22]

I want Corinne Bailey Rae and John Mayer to win!

[VersusVillain]

The Grammy Awards are terrible. It seems they only nominate what's really popular at the moment. And they have the same few people perform every year. I'll be watching the BAFTA's instead.

[res0nate]

Some of these tunes feel like they're from 05; then again this is what happens when they present these things so early in the calendar year the year after they're released. If that made any sense at all.

Imogeaaaaaaaaaan.

[B0hemian_Sprite]

John Mayer better win something.

[angelZ]

what time is this on? might watch it if there's nothing else on tv..lol

[AMAZiFiED *(:]

^ lol,

it's on CBS Channel 2 running from 8:00pm to 11:30pm est

[sj22]

John Mayer better win something.

Best pop vocal album!!!

[ooo_it's_mE]

tonight was SO good!!!!
my favorite performers were Shakira, Rascal Flatts / Carrie Underwood, James Blunt, Mary J. Blige, and the Dixie Chicks. but of course by far the best performance was from Corinne Bailey Rae, John Legend, and John Mayer. I LOVED their performance, and Corinne better win something cause she's incredible. thank goodness John Mayer won something too cause I also love his music too!

[kayla.]

Carrie Underwood won both of the awards she was nominated for.

[LucasBunny]

It was actually good this year

Chris Brown did his thing, the lil babies crumping was sooooo cute omg.

Christina Aguilara sang her asssss off tonight.

Mary J Blige., omg she ssaaaannngggggg that song and she looked so pretty.

I was also soooo glad to see Red Hot Chilli Peppers

[vanjuve]

Mary J Blige!!!

she is just awesome!

[iamstellar!]

loved the 2 john's (mayer & legend) and corrine bailey rae perf....i was soo dissapointed when corrine bailey rae didn't win any awards...thought she would have won best new artist!

[VersusVillain]

Someone on the red carpet compared John Mayer to Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. I think that's the most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life.

I hardly watched any of it cause I was watching the British academy awards instead. I caught the Chili Peppers perform though, and they are awesome. I like how they saved the only performers who don't suck for last.
I caught JT perform for a second. He's just so creepy! He always has this look on his face like he's a demented rapist or something.

And I want to punch James Blunt in the face.

[ooo_it's_mE]

I was very disappointed when Corinne Bailey Rae didn't win anything.

[B0hemian_Sprite]

Someone on the red carpet compared John Mayer to Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton. I think that's the most retarded thing I've ever heard in my life.

Why? He may not be up to par with the two, but he sure is the closest thing in our generation to them.

[LucasBunny]

Why? He may not be up to par with the two, but he sure is the closest thing in our generation to them.

Uh uh!

No such thing, not at all.

No comparisons what so ever.

[joonage]

I thought the Grammies were a total joke this year ...

I like Carrie Underwood ... but I thought the others were better candidates for Best New Artist. (Go Imogen Heap. )

But yeah ... I was disappointed ...

[LucasBunny]

I really hate the grammys

they are always BS.

But this year there were some good moments
can't get over the lil babies crumping, they were soooo good.

[VersusVillain]

Why? He may not be up to par with the two, but he sure is the closest thing in our generation to them.

LOL That's still not saying much?
