I didn't eat all day, spent half of the afternoon drinking beer, came home and had a bowl of soup. I think I'm in the right frame of mind for watching this show.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 9 February 2006 00:35 (twenty years ago)

I am SO over Madonna.

― Mitya (mitya), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:05 (twenty years ago)

is it a written rule that she always has to wear a corset at the Grammys?

..i'm not complaining tho

― ziti sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:06 (twenty years ago)

Her vocals sound terrible ... I can't hate this song though.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:06 (twenty years ago)

song is nice but god she cannot sing a note

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:07 (twenty years ago)

so did Madonna sign a pact with Satan with all the getting thinner over the years and aging in reverse?

― ziti sanskrit (sanskrit), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:08 (twenty years ago)

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:11 (twenty years ago)

Score one for nu-poppism or whatever the hell Simon Reynolds is calling it now.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:14 (twenty years ago)

Awwww, Kelly's so cute. (For real!)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:14 (twenty years ago)

omg I am totally feelin' Chris Martin's hair!

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:15 (twenty years ago)

Dude, sounds like Crazy Frog is crashing the stage.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:15 (twenty years ago)

What the fuck is w/ Chris Martin's voice?

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

When was the last time - if ever - that the Pazz & Jop winner also took home the Grammy for best album?

― Brian O'Neill (NYCNative), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

Oh man, the way Martin was shaking his ass up and down sent me into uncomprehending hysterics!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:17 (twenty years ago)

What the fuck is w/ Chris Martin's voice?

he is preparing himself to become Bono for the strangled generation

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:18 (twenty years ago)

Both Outkast and Bob Dylan (I think) won coincidental honors.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:18 (twenty years ago)

What the fuck is w/ Chris Martin's voice?

Some questions are not meant to be answered.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:19 (twenty years ago)

his dancing is the greatest thing I have ever seen

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:19 (twenty years ago)

Well, this seems to be a fun thread to hang out on until Lost comes on.

― Mitya (mitya), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:19 (twenty years ago)

I wish I was attracted to Chris Martin. I love it when a thin guy wears a shirt that's just barely long enough and when he stretches it exposes that little strip of torso.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:20 (twenty years ago)

TiVO is my friend tonight.

Seriously, say what you will about him, but Chris Martin has a nice voice...generally. But that was just awful -- he sounds like he just finished yelling at Apple for two hours b/c he/she spit up all over his old man windbreaker pants.

― Naive Teen Idol (Naive Teen Idol), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:20 (twenty years ago)

I liked that shot of Nicole Kidman with her new gay husband.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:20 (twenty years ago)

I have never heard Coldplay before (I think). What's that song a ripoff of?

― peepee (peepee), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:21 (twenty years ago)

I love it when a thin guy wears a shirt that's just barely long enough and when he stretches it exposes that little strip of torso.

if only more people liked it when fat guys did it

Oh. Waitaminute. I gotit.

― peepee (peepee), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:21 (twenty years ago)

Hey, I would rather see a nice corpulent belly than Keith Urban.

― The Milkmaid (of human kindness) (The Milkmaid), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:22 (twenty years ago)

There are gonna be a lot of "Desperate Housewives" jokes tonight that I'm not gonna get, aren't there?

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:24 (twenty years ago)

Albums that won both Grammy Album of the Year and P&J:

Outkast, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below

Paul Simon, Graceland

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:24 (twenty years ago)

I don't have a TV, so not only will I not get the references, I can't even watch them being made. Will someone tell me if M'Shell Ndegeocello wins??

― Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:24 (twenty years ago)

Hmmm ... what about albums that won the Grammy Album of the Year but were nowhere to be found on P&J (say, outside the top 100 or 200?)

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:26 (twenty years ago)

I like John Legend pretty well actually but this song has always been crap

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:26 (twenty years ago)

There are gonna be a lot of "Desperate Housewives" jokes tonight that I'm not gonna get, aren't there?

I feel you

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:27 (twenty years ago)

John Legend killed it!

ROBOT INVASION!

oh fuck yes, radio interference in the p.a.

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:30 (twenty years ago)

Singles that won both Grammy Record of the Year and topped P&J: None.

Hmmm ... what about albums that won the Grammy Album of the Year but were nowhere to be found on P&J (say, outside the top 100 or 200?)

The VV only been publishing the top 100 in the last few years so I'm not sure that'd be too revealing. B'sides I wanna watch this. :)

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:30 (twenty years ago)

I can't judge Sugarland's music; I can't get past the icky mugging. Felt the same way about Trick Pony a couple years ago.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 9 February 2006 01:31 (twenty years ago)

hahahahaha I know one band's manager who'll be chewing some ass backstage in 5...4....3...2...

― having fun with stockholm cindy on stage (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Pet peeve: One does not "log on to" grammy.yahoo.com, or most any other website. I hate it when people say that.

But "Yes We Can Can" is an intriguing and unexpected choice.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:26 (twenty years ago)

This sounds pretty good so far. Wait til Edge gets his pretty little epic guitar strum going though.

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:26 (twenty years ago)

Will Sly come out dressed up like Ruth Pointer now?

Touissant is so awesome

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:26 (twenty years ago)

It's all down to Pete Thomas, the Zigaboo of new wave.

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:27 (twenty years ago)

Bring on Mannie Fresh.

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:27 (twenty years ago)

Hey!

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:28 (twenty years ago)

500 post xpost.

i turned the tv off. the sly thing hurt too much. its one thing to
do a bad job of someone else's song but i actually felt like nobody on that stage even understood what funk music is. what kind of a tribute is it when everyone misses the point? joss stone trying to sing "family affair" is like archie shepp trying to play one of satie's gnossienes. it just dont work.

how did a drug-addles senior citizen with a blond mowhawk wig come off better than the younger, "straighter" people paying tribute?

jess 2005 didnt suck its just that, you know, underground music is a bit better right now, thats all.

― Aaron Grossman (aajjgg), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:28 (twenty years ago)

also, dude didn't say jack about downloading, so ppl gotta say "I was wrong about you, Mr. Suit Dude" right now pls

I TOLD YA my cynical ass got sonned.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:28 (twenty years ago)

also, dude didn't say jack about downloading, so ppl gotta say "I was wrong about you, Mr. Suit Dude" right now pls

I am shocked and pleased.

― NoTimeBeforeTime (Barry Bruner), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:28 (twenty years ago)

yeah, this doesnt suck.

josh - sorry for overlapping your joke! unintentional.

― PeopleFunnyBoy (PeopleFunnyBoy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

they brought wilson pickett back from the dead! amazing.

― Dan Selzer (Dan Selzer), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

this drummer is really not up to what "midnight hour" demands

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

how did a drug-addles senior citizen with a blond mowhawk wig come off better than the younger, "straighter" people paying tribute?

well, his mic was off, for one.

― having fun with stockholm cindy on stage (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

you're still watching?

― senseiDancer (sexyDancer), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

One does not "log on to" grammy.yahoo.com, or most any other website. I hate it when people say that.

I always used to let that bother me too. Like saying "hits" instead of "page views."

But when you visit a site, your visit is "logged."

So I think of it that way.

I also think of puppies when I'm sad.

― Justin Shumaker (shueytexas), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

This isn't bad. Congrats grammies, for not ending in disaster.

― deej.. (deej..), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

all the non dead old guys are bringin sum grace to th affair

― dan bunnybrain (dan bunnybrain), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:29 (twenty years ago)

yo is true daddino got sonned by a suit in a grammy beef?

― james van der beek (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

i was wondering when they'd let irma sing something

― having fun with stockholm cindy on stage (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

they appear to have rehearsed.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

This is like the soul equivalent of the tribute to Joe Strummer.

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

Irma Thomas looks FABULOUS, I must say.

― Joseph McCombs (Joseph McCombs), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

ok, now THIS is the plodding, graceless mess I expect from an all-star performance

― Thomas Tallis (Tommy), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

It took a hurricane to get these people on a Grammy stage.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

ah, thank you hilton

― james van der beek (dubplatestyle), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:30 (twenty years ago)

okay, tolerable. but does anyone ACTUALLY like these big group singalongs?

― Mitya (mitya), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

people quote 'hits' instead of 'pageviews' because of that confusion justin -- hits always > pageviews so it makes the traffic sound much more impressive.

― maura (maura), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

"In the mid-niTAKE ME TO THE HILTONhour"

the accounting firm of deloitte and touche? you don't want to spoonerize that.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

ok, now THIS is the plodding, graceless mess I expect from an all-star performance

it's not a great song for a midtempo all-star jam.

― having fun with stockholm cindy on stage (Jody Beth Rosen), Thursday, 9 February 2006 04:31 (twenty years ago)

.aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand SCENE! good night, people. see you next awards.
