Grammys

[paul]

In a rare moment I caught a Grammy show, well some of it anyway. It was nice to see Earth Wind and Fire with Maurice White performing. I've heard so many rumors about his health I didn't know what to believe.
I also didn't realize Beyonce was tall and sexy. Nice legs. :D
Any comments on the show?

I thought I had set up the VCR. I neglected to shut it down so that it would auto-start at 8 PM. :cry: :cry:

Anyway, I'm still a little burned that Janet was asked to stay away while "Dead Wood In Flaccid ( :oops: Placid) Water" was allowed to perform. As for the music, heard it was a hip-hop event. Anybody see it?

The sound production was certainly not up to par.And I detected a number of artists singing out of key at times or was it just me.And the country artists rendition of I Saw Her Standing There :x.Over all disappointing but I don't expect much from the Grammies anyways.

Whoa, that would indicate that they weren't using autotuners, and the performances weren't lip-synced! Cutting-edge stuff!!

:lol: :lol: Maybe it was that '5-minute delay' they instituted at the 11th hour. Je ne sais pas pourquoi. :roll: :D

Observations:

Prince has discovered the Grace Jones fountain of youth-- to my eyes, he looked exactly like when he sang "Little Red Corvette" in 1983!!! Amazing. :o

Sadly Philip Bailey seemed to have totally lost that wonderful falsetto...his attempts to sing high on "Shining Star" were painfully embarrasing. :oops:

Did EW&F sing on the record of OutKast's "The Way You Move"? Their chorus vocals on the Grammy show sounded just like the record--I've always wondered who that sounded like--it was definitely EW&F.

Scratchy sound problems marred Alicia Keys' & Celline Dion's tribute to Luther. Luther appeared on tape and actually sang a phrase of an old song. Miss Patti LaBelle subbed for the no-show, if you're NASTY, Miss Jackson. Yes, you're NASTY. America get over it. A breast!!!!!! Will the world ever be the same? :roll:

The FUNK section featuring EW&F, OutKast, the Ralph something Band and George Clinton & P-Funk was the most interesting to us old-timers, I guess. :D

I heard Janet refused to show because they wanted her to apologize. I guess Janet told 'em to fuck off! Right on Janet :lol: Besides if I had tits like that I wouldn't apologize! I guess P Diddy reflected my sentiments.
Marky, I sadly have to agree about Philip. I didn't wanna admit it but oh well, father time takes it's toll I guess :o

Of corse..everything today is hip-hop..which is why I pay no attention to anything of today's entertainment...or world for that matter :roll: Thats surprising that EWF and Prince were there..wish I woulda watched it now. They dont fit the garbage of today..dont make sence why they were there. I cant see the kids with pants so baggy looks like they shit themselves and the "yo yo" attitude liking good music...but hey, at least EWF and Prince are still around. Wish i woulda watched it now for just their 2 performances.
