Someone I know is there hoping for a Grammy, so now that I know about it, sure. Jason Isbell won a few including best Americana song (24 Frames)- my favorite song of 2015.
Someone should apply for a grant to study the phenomenon of people starting threads about things they "don't care" about.
Blaise Barton of Joy Ride?
Gaga SUCKED..insulting tribute to Bowie..zero
Adele sucked because a microphone fell into the piano and ruined her vibe..did you happen to notice that clanking sound throughout the song? There was a microphone sitting on the hammers and the strings...
GaGa's tribute was horrifying..all about her and her clown act. Nile Rodgers should be hiding somewhere right now he produced that fiasco..man
The Eagle were the only decent performance...yuk worst Grammies I've ever seen

I am big fan of Bowie and not much GaGa or that lot of pop, nor was I looking forward to watching the tribute, but that 5h1t was pretty damn good.
The band changes, minimal dancing nonsense, the songs she did in his range.
The technology that had to be integrated, direction and sound.
You can't possibly imagine how many co-ordinated techs, sound, light, cams, staging, electronics, it takes to pull that kind of 6 minute production off clean and sharp. Live.
Yea, there were some places that could have been played down a bit, but overall......
some of you (no pointing) sound like some of the crotchety old f's I work with on shows that just hate everything. After almost 70 years of RnR/pop, it ain't all gonna be great.
But for those of you who hated that, the next I Heart Radio extravaganza is Boy George type 80s bands in 4k. eeeeeewwww!

Gaga was great. And the tribute to BB King was, too.
Taylor Swift's opening number "Out of the Woods," my fave song from that album was grand.

The performance was good, but no intro? Really? That was handled VERY poorly.
I agree - this year's show, taken as a whole, was poorly done.

Adele did not suck.
The Eagles were pretty horrible, and that's coming from a fan. Jackson thought he knew the song and didn't need to practice or use cues- and was wrong. The others were so off that it had to be at least partly attributable to some sort of technical/monitoring problem. Either that or it's been a good while since Timothy's been on a stage.
The Lady Gaga think looked remarkably like Lady Gaga doing a tribute to David Bowie, not sure what else there really is to say or feel about it...

with the exception of Timothy B and Joe, the Eagles are a bunch of angry old men.
Jackson?
Feh!

I'm sure Don is a man whose heart is hurting now.
