Stevie Wonder has sunk to a new low. What a great musician to have stooped to the level he did tonight, playing with the freakin' Jonas Bros. That was sickening. At least Adele won one.

The best part was the opening act: U2. Then, it went downhill from there . . . . though I'm liking Kanye West :-0

BTW, it's no surprise that this year's theme is the Brits! McCartney, Coldplay, Adele, Katy whatever, Robert Plant . . . ORANGE :)

Well, there is hope. I just saw Sir Paul rock out. He played his traditional bass through a Mesa Boogie stack. Also Radiohead is coming up!

I hate Kanye West... I seriously wish that he loses all his money and he stops having fans and he starts having to ask people for change. He's such an arrogant pr!ck.... he's so incredibly into himself, he thought his SNL appearance wasn't awful. Maybe someone should've told him that his auto-tune was not switched on. What an as$hole.

I'm looking forward to Kanye starring on Celebrity Rehab 2019 after the idiot blows all of his money.

U2 rocked, especially since that was the first time they've performed the new single (or any material from the upcoming album). Coldplay were - unsurprisingly - boring, bland and derivative. Still waiting through all this other BS for Radiohead.

And how about Miley Cyrus totally butchering that Taylor Swift song? Never heard it before, but Taylor has a really nice voice. Miley Cyrus sounds like a beached whale... wailing.

I agree about Coldplay . . . they are really played out and quite bubble gum-like rock. I'd love to see some cool bands like Franz Ferndinand on Grammys. I can't believe how Paul McCartney still sounds and looks good after all these years. Adele and Sugarland were awesome!

Little known fact: I've listened through Taylor Swift's "Fearless" album a few times and even liked some of the tunes, for what they're worth.

Grammies? Never heard of 'em. ;)

Jonas Brothers? Well, let's just say I'll be promising their deaths when I run for president. That's right. ;)

EDIT: Or at least deported to Mars or something. I don't want to see anyone die on my account.

You know what, I actually LOVE that album, yeah it's poppy and cheesy and banjo and all, but she really knows how to make a catchy melody.

I mean that's what pop music is all about, catchy melodies.
I rate that album very highly in that respect!
