Christiern Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Rarely does one see so much mediocrity assembled in one show. From what I have seen, so far, this has got to be the most embarrassing Grammy show. Now we know what all that payola has bought. BTW, who was that woman screaming with Bono? She was outrageously awful. And the audience screams with delight--what are these people smoking? Quote
7/4 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 I have it on, but I'm not really watching it. They don't show awards for anything I'm interested in. I wonder what's on CNN... Quote
GA Russell Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 I was rooting for the Reeves and the Rollins. Glad they won. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 I think I made the same post last year as this upcoming one... Does Pat Metheny win a Grammy every year? Quote
7/4 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 I think I made the same post last year as this upcoming one... Does Pat Metheny win a Grammy every year? It's the only name anybody is familar with. Quote

7/4 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 Yeah...screw the Grammys. Guess who won Jammies! Quote

During the live performances does anyone else notice the young people near the stage, standing and clapping with their arms waving in the air? Evident during the Stones Superbowl performance as well. These people have to be props - paid, enthusiastic, phony fans. If you look beyond the screaming employees - the crowd is motionless and silent....and probably bored to death. God, what an awful production. Does it get worse every year? Sure seems like it. Quote

The Stones crowd was definitely a prop. they advertised for locals to rush in at halftime, show some love, and then get the hell out of there at the end of it. the ads stated "no one over 45 please" Quote

7/4 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 Sly and the Family Stone Tribute - Eventually Sly comes out with a platnum mohawk and there's two microphones up there. One is for singing and the other is for a talk box (you know...like Peter Framton or Jeff Beck). He starts singing through the talk box mike, which of course is turned down...by the time the sound man notices, Sly is singing through the other mike and keeps switching back and forth. As for the band, I think they could have used another guitar player and a few more singers. Quote

Reminds me of the time I saw a MTV special with Aerosmith. I think they were twice the age of anyone in the audience. Quote
Christiern Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Now Herbie Hancock is accompanying a total destruction of Leon Russell's "A Song for You." This poor woman is simply clueless and Herbie is aiding and abetting. Horrible, and the crowd loves it! Well, at least the hired audience does. Quote

bertrand Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 Did Wayne show up to collect his statuette? Bertrand. Quote
Christiern Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 The local NYC CBS news anchor dummy, Roz Abrams, called this "one of the most spectacular Grammy shows ever," adding that "it rocked." What was she smoking. I think the performances were mostly putrid and the production truly sucked. As usual, no jazz. Well, with very few exceptions, no music. Looks like they have escalated the "Trustee" and "Lifetime Achievement" award giving. Quote

I caught him on Tokyo tv gushing forth about the wondrous talents of said female vocalist. Quote
7/4 Posted February 9, 2006 Author Report Posted February 9, 2006 7/4: "I like Gwen better when she sounds like a chipmonk." Who is Gwen? The woman who sang with Herbie. Gwen Stefani from the band No Doubt, now on a solo thing. She used to sing in a high alto/soprano, now she's singing with this r&b voice. Quote
domo1129 Posted February 9, 2006 Report Posted February 9, 2006 does anyone know who was playing with herbie and Christina A???? Quote
