The only thing that interested me, right now, is the PBS documentary that covered five years of David Bowie's life.
I've only watched the beginning, so far, but it is easy to see what a remarkably creative person he was.

Things picked up and stayed up from Gaga onward. Glad I hung in there.

Gaga was great. And the tribute to BB King was, too.
Agreed! Gaga is the real deal, IMHO.
Dug the BB tribute, too, especially Bonnie Raite. My only issue is that they didn't even bother to show who was playing that old Wurlitzer, which was absolutely the bedrock of the groove.

And I'm sorry but that Adele song was horrific. I had to mute it.
I felt bad for her. Was thinking she was fighting a cold or something and couldn't hit the high notes. I give her credit for trying - not resorting to autotune.
BTW, if I was emperor of the universe I would decree the use of autotune to be a capitol offense. Just saying.

She should have sung "When We Were Young." Lady Gaga just threw down.
Was that Nile Rodgers up there with her?

Didn't see any of it, cuz no one tied me to a chair and threatened to kill a puppy if I didn't watch.

Combination of technical problems and a song that was almost too hard to sing reliably well live (a trademark of Bruno's.)
