I am really looking forward to this show. Scheduled to perform are Katy Perry, Lorde, Taylor Swift, Metallica, and many others. It should be interesting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grammy Awards
- Thread starter EagerBeaver
- Start date
Apparently there will also be a mass same sex marriage ceremony while Madonna is performing, a song titled "Same Love".
Does anyone know what the 2 guys in Daft Punk look like? They accepted their award wearing robot helmets. They are apparently French, but don't know if they are white, black, olive or yellow.
Wow, I am no fan of country music, but Keith Urban and Gary Clark Jr. were the best performance so far tonight. Clark can play that guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Daft Punk ended up winning the 2 big awards, record of the year and album of the year, while Lorde won song of the year. During their acceptance speeches, these 2 robots from Daft Punk remained silent and let others talk. Evidently one is a white Frenchman and the other is a white/Portuguese Frenchman.
Here are my best performances of the evening:
1. Keith Urban/Gary Clark Jr. guitar duo
2. Imagine Dragons/Kendrick Lamar perform "Radioactive"
3. Daft Punk/Pharell Williams/ Stevie Wonder perform "Get Lucky"
4. Metallica

I was kind of disappointed with this year's Grammys. The best performance for me was the Def Punk performance with a cast of musicians incl. Stevie Wonder.
Other performances that i liked very much were Pink's and that hot-looking female country singer (last name Musgraves). The opener with Jay-Z and Beyonce was kind of hot also....Beyonce surprised me a bit with her attire (especially the lower part) and Jay-Z grabbing her ass during the performance.
The one i anticipated the most, but was left disappointed was the classic country performance with Willie Nelson, Kris Kristoferson, Merle Haggard and Blake Shelton. Nelson was okay, but Kristorferson's voice is nearly gone. Haggard looked spaced out. Shelton was great and carried the rest of the band. What differeince youth makes!
Surprised at the song of the year winner. That was the only song of the bunch that i didn't know. I lstened to it and it doexn't do a thing for me. I believe it's called 'Royals' or something like that.
p.s. Did anyone catch Black Sabbath's presentation?? On which planet was Ozzie Osborne on??

Daft Punk
Here is Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers and Stevie Wonder performing "Get Lucky" which won the Record of the Year Grammy. I had this performance in the top 3 of the evening:

Get Lucky by Daft Punk
I absolutely love the beat of that song!
I've since downloaded it onto my iphone/ipod and i can't wait to go do my workout later today and listen to that tune! :thumb:
It just makes you wanna move....reminds me of my good ol' days of burning the dance floor at the disco back in the mid-to-late 70's.
I still say today that the 'Saturday Night Fever' soundtrack album is one of the best of all-time! :eyebrows:

I'm not much of a Keith Urban fan, but he's great (and funny) on American Idol. The most hillarious judge of them all is Ray Connick Jr., who was added to the panel this season along with J-Lo and Urban. I never knew how hillarious he was! What a much-needed addition to the show! :thumb:
I thought the show was awful. Especially the segment with Macklemore, what a ton of shit that was. I'm all for equality and what not but that was just going over the top. BTW, when did Madonna turn into the Colonel Sanders from KFC?
I like the song a lot, but it is in no way original, and heavily samples from Nile Rodgers' days with Chic. It sounds like a song Chic could have done in the late 1970s or early 1980s. It was also well performed.
I was not a Keith Urban fan before last night, but he is really one helluva a guitarist. He is just playing in the wrong genre and thus his guitarist talents go unappreciated. Gary Clark Jr. is the closest thing we have to Jimi Hendrix right now. That guitar duo they did together at the 3:00 mark of the video I posted was totally nailed!
I am in agreement with you on this. I do not think political agendas should be a part of awards shows whether you agree with the agenda or not. I actually like Macklemore's music, and I think he was deserving of the new artist award, but do not understand his aggressiveness in promoting this agenda, especially since he is not even gay.
Very coincidentally, over the weekend I watched the 1969 movie, Midnight Cowboy, the only film in motion picture history to win the Academy Award for best picture after getting slapped with an X rating. It got an X rating primarily because there are two very awkward homosexual scenes in the movie, which do not actually show anything other than bizarre and inappropriate deviant behavior by homosexual characters in the movie. Ironically, this 1969 movie, probably made before you were born, contains harshly anti-gay dialogue and repeated use of the word f-----. I question whether the movie would have even been permitted to be released in 2014 because it is so harshly anti-gay. Yet it is considered one of the greatest movies in American film history and has a scene in it which is arguably the funniest scene in film history related to the hobby of prostitution.

While I enjoyed the video of Urban/Clark I didn't think the guitar playing was that amazing. If that was the highlight of the night, looks like I didn't miss much.
I wouldn't say that it was totally awful, but i've seen better Grammys. I'm not much into Macklemore's music, to be honest. I mentionned previously that i enjoyed Pink's performance, but it was so predictable this time around. The aerial acrobat show was done 2 or 3 years ago and surprised the hell out of me, only to find out later that she does this in every live show of hers and that she supposedly used to be an acrobat.
I forgot to mention that i did enjoy Ringo Starr's performance of "Photograph".....i was told his show with his band is actually very good when seen live.
His performance with Paul McCartney was so-so. I would have enjoyed it better should they have performed with George Harrison's son Dani (who's quite the guitar player himself) and Sean Lennon, who was in the audience with his mother. Sean appeared to be having a blast disguised as his late father.
On a side note, i was surprised at how much Ringo's wife Barbara Back had aged. She is the sole reason why i still enjoy watching "The Spy Who Loved Me". Her sister is married to Joe Walsh of the Eagles, which is why they were sitting together.
The tribute to the Everly Brothers was disappointing. I also wasn't that taken by Metallica's performance, but to be honest i'm not a huge Metallica fan. I love 'Enter Sandman' and that remake of a Bob Seger classic (the name of the song escapes me), but that's about it.
I wouldn't have minded a performance from Rihanna, but i don't even think she was in the audience. I'm saying this because i'm now a huge Rihanna fan, of course.
