Ok, Billie won best pop vocal album; that’s fine, as long as Ariana wins the bigger award. (I would have given it to Taylor over Billie.)

i guess i lied, went to see a friend at a bar and it's playing here
of what i've seen the boyz ii men/charlie wilson/tyler the creator performance is the highlight

i love usher and he did well but a superlative prince tribute requires a good dose of pure feminine energy that seems to be outside his range
― dyl, Monday, 27 January 2020 03:19 (four years ago) link
yeah, like, usher and prince are two excellent performers who are good at very different things, and one's strengths do not flatter the other's; I thought it was mostly awful (and also twigs should have gotten to sing)

Katherine otm, Usher sounded like he was doing karaoke
God love Charlie Wilson, seeing him in this show was the highlight of the night.

“Old Town Road” performance was pretty entertaining.

Wow - Demi Lovato perf definitely something else

Mark Hollis, David Berman, and Scott Walker all missed the “in memorium” cut

(xpost) I watched about a half-hour's worth, and yeah, "Old Town Road" was good--although I wish they would've brought on Willie Nelson or somebody like that to join in at the end.

Ariana wuz robbed... many of Billie’s awards made sense, but her album was not deserving.
― dad genes (morrisp), Monday, 27 January 2020 05:12 (four years ago) link
i enjoyed Ariana, like morrisp i wish she'd won Album of the Year
i'm tired of Eilish, though i thought it was nice to see her being earnest (and even acknowledging it)
thought Rosalia was good, and Camila's song about her dad was very sweet
Alicia does a pretty good job with a tough gig, imo
anyway ... Tyler ran circles around the whole thing. that dude is can't miss for me right now.

Last black artist to win Grammys album of the year was Herbie Hancock in 2008

So uh is there any way to actually watch the Prince tribute? It was on at a bar, it was kinda fun trying to figure out what songs they were playing with the sound off.

I think CBS & the Grammys limit access to the programs after , but maybe someone will get permission or a clip will be briefly available on YouTube till taken down. Usher was ok but not dazzling. FKA Twigs danced but wasn’t allowed to sing.

Sheila E was there too.

There was stuff you could stream on the Grammy website last time I looked, not sure how extensive or complete it is.

i'm sure official youtube uploads will appear after a few reruns have aired

Trying to watch this now. Is it meOr is Alicia Keyes awful now? Everyone takes themselves so seriously. Jesus.

i like her but:drinking game idea: drink every time Alicia Keys says “amayzin”
