I will be watching the Grammy Awards Tomorrow. LL Cool J. will be the host. Some of the performers will be: Madonna, Kanye West, Paul McCarthy, Ariana Grande, Mary J Blige, Rihanna.

love that Paul McCarthy... but i have to say... he's no John Linen

I like LL as host.

He has sunstantial and credible musical background and seems genuinely there for the awards.

He's not a comedian.

I have been told that Prince is supposed to be there. This is not to confirm that he has anything in store. But he has a seat. I guess he could flake out or be a no show.

I'll be watching "The Walking Dead"...

Did I read somewhere that there is a Stevie Wonder tribute? If so, Prince'll be on stage.

Boring.

Welp, now is a good time to finish reading George Clinton's book....lame, lame grammy show.

well his seat was next to that lady that sang at the super bowl...and that is not prince... in 55 mins i am going to watch better call saul

i read on facebook he will present at 10:30 best album.

Hopefully this time he doesn't botch someone's name again.

I just read that on Facebook too. Great!

Does that mean he's actually gonna show up?!

I'm disappointed that's not special in any way!

Annie Lennox killed it--just by the power of her naked voice.

Girl, I didn't even watch. I don't have an interest in any of the music highlighted nowdays. I'm watching the news this morning, and reports are that Kanye West almost acted an ass again about Beyonce not winning something for her latest twat fest. I'm sick of his ass, too. He needs to sit his simple behind down and

Hahaha!
That made my day!

I did late laundry, but I did get a glimpse of Prince from the news. I'm afraid the thrill of all this kind of stuff is gone for me. But I'll catch the highlights. Doesn't sound like anybody did anything obnoxious for once, it's been done so much it's boring.

Heck I didn't even do The Walking Dead, and I even posted a thread with enthusiasm and didn't watch, what the heck happened to my time last night?

Shouldn't Tom Petty have been onstage with Sam Smith for at least a couple of those Grammys?

The nominees weren't that great this year therefore the drop in ratings.

But still TONS of people watched.

As for The Walking Dead? Well I don't know but maybe you realized that it's a show about zombies?

Oh stop it you.

It was determined that since Tom and the other co-writer added nothing new to the song the grammy's weren't going to shoehorn him in as a nominee.

Zombies, grammy nominees, what's the diff.... I keed.


And way, for one, me personally, watching the grammy's was necessary not to miss out on those headline grabbing special moments that happened once in history. Today that's no longer necessary. I can catch those later. The nature of the beast I guess.

Two, those headline grabbing moments use to come from stage performances, at least I think they did, today it seems it's about inappropriate behavior, not my cup of tea, anyway even that will be repeated on a loop so many times one couldn't help but see it eventually, why make any effort.

LMAO - "added nothing new to the song"?!? They didn't add ANYTHING to the song. Oh, except they wrote the chorus's melody 26 years ago!

Smith's publishing company is paying Petty and Jeff Lynne 12.5% of the royalties, so SOMEone thinks they're due some cash.

In all honesty, I don't know how Sam Smith can justify not having Petty and Lynne onstage with him. Jeff Lynne was there and actually performed.

It's not just me that's saying this:

CLEVELAND, Ohio - Maybe it was on his lawyers' advice, but Sam Smith should have at least acknowledged Tom Petty and Jeff Lynne in one of his multitude of thank-you speeches at the 57^th annual Grammy Awards Sunday night.

Four times -- with wins for best new artist, best song, best record and best pop vocal album -- Smith had a chance to thank Petty and Lynne for the song "Stay With Me,'' off his "In the Lonely Hour'' LP. As the entire world knows now -- and apparently everybody but Smith and his co-writers knew the first time they heard the song -- "Stay With Me'' is basically "I Won't Back Down'' with new lyrics.

He and his handlers have reached a legal settlement with the two, and agreed to give them co-writer credits for "Stay With Me.'' That's great, and as it should be, especially since it means that the usual Grammy boost in sales will mean more money in terms of royalties for Petty and Lynne.

But there's the right thing and The Right Thing. The Right Thing would have been for Smith to say something when he had the biggest stage he may ever have.
