The only awards that really mean something are the pre-show ones. Why waste time to see who wins an award between FERGIE, Gwen Stefani, Ray J , and whoever.. Ugh.?

jhh4321 Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 *John Mayer - the human face contortionist (a blues guitarist from Fairfield County in CT - he had it rough) I'm from fairfield county CT, my audio teacher's daughter dated John Mayer, airtaco may care to elaborate.

airtaco Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 John was/is apparently a wierd nomad who continually asked my good friends daughter out on a regular basis. She declined, but kept in touch with him, and through their relationship John almost came to our HS to talk in audio classes. That's about it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
solace Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 The Police's performance was pretty average i must add. but Copeland still owned and looks fantastic. Summers has put on some pounds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Summers has put on some pounds. I agree.... Sting should go back to having sexSummers should try Trimspa or at least a salad every once in a while and Copeland still kicks serious ass Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WaronWar Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 John Mayer sucks. He is just as bad as Eric Clapton at selling his soul and creating bad mainstream "blues" music. My advice let his life be focused on dating Jessica Simpson so he does not have to make horrible records. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bobfrombob Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Stevie Wonder has gotten pretty big. A Police tour is a lot less interesting to me today than it was yesterday. I turned it off after MJ Blige thanked everyone she ever met. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WilcoFan Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 I'm sober, but I'll back up my buddy down the block: JT rules. I'm a man*, but I'll back you both up. My wife loves JT. His cds are the only ones she owns that I can even stomach. The guy seems pretty genuine and you can tell he loves what he does. * however I do wear Crew Pomade.

jff Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 My thoughts... Justin Timberlake's handheld camera - pointless but creepy Mary J. Blige's acceptance speeches - despicable The Police - exactly what should have been reasonably expected by all of us Gnarles Barkley - THIS is what all the hype is about? yuck! Fergie - either learn to read, or memorize your three sentences about Booker T. and the MGs. Anyone with the slightest familiarity with them could have ad libbed a short bio and done a better job. The Doors - lifetime achievement award for a band that existed for 6 years? I quit watching after this. Did Mastadon win? I used to work with one of their guitarists.

LouieB Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 The folks at Archeophone records actually got a Grammy for Lost Sounds, a CD set I have been plugging for a few months. Pretty sweet for a two person operation. Why all the time for the Eagles tribute? I am not an Eagles hater, but it was pretty long. Meanwhile Gnarls Barkley slowed down Crazy so it lasted half the night. LouieB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

cryptique Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Justin Timberlake's handheld camera - pointless but creepyYeah, that was way too extreme of a closeup. Regardless of what the average thirteen-year-old girl thinks, that dude is ugly. Gnarles Barkley - THIS is what all the hype is about? yuck!I kind of dug it, but the military drumming got old pretty quickly and I kept waiting for them to kick in to the usual tempo, which would have been an improvement.

quarter23cd Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 Didn't watch any of this. My wife was pretty pleased about the Dixie Chicks--she's a big fan. I thought their record was pleasant and listenable (particularly that one song that Gary Louris wrote), but a little on the bland side. Decent, but not a record that screams "OMG, best album evar!", unless you take into consideration the circumstances surrounding it. I dunno if that makes it a justifiably great album or if it is overcompensation. In any case it probably balances out. Prediction: Country Music Awards won by this album = -5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin Posted February 12, 2007 Share Posted February 12, 2007 So, like ... that dude from Semisonic has a whole bunch of Grammys now. Cool. Yeah... when they kept mentioning "Dan Wilson," I kept wondering.... Semisonic? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
