Official 52nd Annual Grammy Awards Nomination Thread

Where was Kanye when we needed him? Taylor Swift wins Album of the YEAR, That is so wrong! Lady GaGa had 5 #1 singles on one album. She was robbed.

 

[joesman]

Definitely Pink's night. That was a superstar performance - and the water was incredible.

^ Glitter In The Air.

So...Lady GaGa, Pink, Maxwell, and MJ Tribue = best of the night!

 

[Blueboy369]

Mary J Blige & Andrea Bocelli were terrific too!

 

[Digicel]

Rihanna was so graceful as she accepted her 3rd Grammy in her short 4 1/2 year career; not to mention she is just 20


Some artists have been in the business for decades and dont even have one Grammy so its quite an accomplishment.

Rihanna almost has the same amount as Mariah.


Rated R is sure to give my princess more in 2011.

 

[rwh1967]

I love Lady Gaga and I thought the opening act with her and Elton John was totally awesome.....

can anyone tell me who that random fat chick (who possibly looked a little "slow") was who got on stage with Jamie foxx and Tpain? also can you tell me why the grammy's asked Jamie Foxx to "sing"...that performance was ridiculously bad

 

[lostnfound]

I was wondering the same thing.

I figured she was just a fan or something, perhaps?

I think she was maybe a relative.

I saw the pre-show on E! and they had Jamie Foxx with 3 other ladies and that fat chick was with him. I'm pretty sure they're family or something.

 

[lawrence358]

lol that was Jamie's sister

Jamie Foxx's performance was atrocious. What's sad is that he can actually sing. As far as the fully robust lady on the stage, I believe she was in the video, so he just brought her for the live performance.

Grammy TV Audience Biggest in Six Years

a TV audience of 25.8 million Americans to the Grammy Awards -- the biggest TV audience for the telecast in six years, according to preliminary television ratings on Monday.

The 3-1/2 hour music awards show on CBS on Sunday enjoyed a 35 percent increase on last year and was the most-watched Grammy telecast since 2004, according to early date from Nielsen.

Last year, 19.05 million Americans watched the performance and awards show from Los Angeles.

That lady is Jamie Foxx's sister in real life

Well, we know which sibling got the better genes. . . lol

 

[Anton98]

Did anyone notice Jay-z completely ignore his wife when he won his award. Maybe the camera didn't show it but it look like he just looked at Rihanna and grabbed Beyonce's nephew to go to the stage. Come on now.

 

[MisterMajestic]

Pink had the most memorable performance of the evening...She is officially in a league of her own...


Lady-GaGa & Elton's duet was nice...There's only so much of GaGa's Nasal-singing I can take...


Beyonce deserved all 6 GRAMMYS making history to cap it all off..I still wonder why she has difficulty walking down the stairs. She almost tripped again...


Maxwell deserved "Best R&B Male & R&B Album of the Year"...


I like Jamie Fox but I'd rather hear his songs on the radio/stereo VS sitting through a LIVE performance...He tries too hard and he's not convincing as a stage-performer...


The Black-Eyed-Peas ROCKED as always...Whoever produced their Mega-Hit single "I Gotta Feeling" produced the'hell out of that track. If that song doesnt get you out of your seat you MUST be dead...


Rihanna winning another "Duo/Group GRAMMY" is certainly not a SLAM against her solo work. A GRAMMY win is a GRAMMY win PERIOD. Mary J. Blije's 1st GRAMMY was also a "Duo/Group GRAMMY" with Method-Man...Mary has several other GRAMMYS with Sting, Aretha,Chaka & Bono..."Duo/Group GRAMMYS" will have other artists wanting to record with you for obvious reasons...


I liked the Jon Bon Jovi segment...The Guys still ROCK and they're a Sexy band of middle-aged Fuckers...I wanted them to sing my all-time favorite "It's my Life".....TimeLess...


The Zac Brown Band is this years "Best New Artist"....Never heard of'em...Will they become a "1 GRAMMY wonder"?........


Celine Dion, Ursher, Carrie underwwod, Jennifer Hudson & The Legendary Smokey Robinson did Mike proud with their cover of "Earth Song"..Celine was smokin-HOT when she walked out in that SHORT dress giving us Sexy Legs & Thighs..I never knew she had Legs like that...


And the HOST of the evening...Stephen Colbert ...Why Cut the GRAMMY winners off in the middle of their acceptance speech in order to give Colbert more time for his LAME jokes? Then the Fool goes and sits in the audience and waits for his name to be called for a GRAMMY win so he can walk up the stairs...Sickening...No one cares about the HOST. Let the Artists spend as much time as they want to thanking the Lord..


Overall it was a decent show this year...

 

[EvilTwinTwo]

while everyone is bitchin' about Taylor Swift the real crime is that non-talent Rihanna received TWO Grammy Awards. Sure they were lesser awards which she practically had no part of contributing to but it's still a bad omen on the awards.

That lady is Jamie Foxx's sister in real life

Jamie Foxx was on The View today and he said that his sister, the one who danced on stage, actually has down syndrome. Together, they've done charity work for DS.

Bless her.

 

[EvilTwinTwo]

Her career will probably die a little. There's just too much Rihanna, if you catch my drift.

She just not talented. Can't wait until she's as irrelevant as Whitney.
