Okay Lil Wayne, that was nice and all, but do you think you can pull your damn pants up now? The sagging pants thing is sooooo 1998.
I will forever love and miss you...my sweet Prince.

Apparantly, enough people disagreed with the notion the Jonas Bros. "should stay on the freaking Disney Channel" that they have made -- and will continue to make -- millions well beyond that venue. Next, while I certainly got no thrill seeing them desecrate Stevie's song (IMHO), Stevie himself thought enough of them to share a stage with them. You may want to take up discussion of standards with him. My guess is he'd school you.

And fluff? Eh, I'm no fan of it either. shrug But it certainly is nothing new... and it ain't going anywhere. Alongside sensible fare like Stevie, I personally would rather my 7-year-old enjoy, say, the Jonas Bros. than... ohhhh... T.I., Kanye, Jay-Z and Lil' Wayne... and an about-to-drop M.I.A.... just off the top of my head.

But then I understand others have higher standards than me. shrug

Come on..stop (muscial schooling rolleyes)...that duet had NOTHING TO DO with Stevie thinking they are some diamond in the rough up-start group who needs a break...You can bet Disney or the Grammys paid him a huge amount of money to do that performance. As much as I love Stevie for his past great body of work, Stevie doesn't care how his music is used or performed these days. He's lent his music to a burger comercial! He cares about getting paid these days (which is his right, he's paid his dues).

Hey I had the Muppet album, loved Kaptin Kool and the Kongs and the Hudson Brothers when I was a kid, but they stayed on the Saturday morning line up....they weren't being constantly shoved into our faces. It's great if your child loves the Jonas Brothers, there is ALOT of other types of non-rap music out there too, even if you have to go back or across the ocean. Look Neil Diamond is on...he's good! music

neutral He can't touch Tom Jones.

Clearly the lame mash-ups we've seen for years are poised to maximize the shows' commercial appeal. I don't think Stevie's appearing alongside the Jonas Bros. should be taken as an endorsement of them as artistic peers, or as some young band who needs a break. Those boys earned in excess of $12 million in '07 -- they hardly need the favor.

But Stevie's got choices, too, I have to think. And while the money must've been decent, I can't think he'd have appeared with just anyone. The brothers have at least enough skills to hold together a fun, very safe -- even insipid -- musical performance and intro to music for little kids. Perhaps Stevie is cool with that? Certainly many kids and their parents are... and I just can't be mad at that from a Disney act. shrug

...And for the record, my daughter HATES the Jonas Bros. (Thank goodness pray) Her playlist is more along the lines of '70s funk/disco acts, '80s pop, jazz standards, Francophone R&B, Broadway showtunes and... NeoCeltic folk (confuse don't ask). But if she wanted me to buy her some bubble gum to listen to between Corinne Bailey Rae & Herbie Hancock and the Rent soundtrack, I'd let her have her fun.

All i know is that Alison Krauss and Robert Plant deserve it all, notice how when Robert made a comment about doing "real rythym blues" people like Jamie Foxx and some other dude in the crowd suddenly got all serious, sorry foxx you suck and you aint even funny anymore. There is more funk and blues on the Plant Krauss record than in RB the last 10 years.

And by the way U2 and Springsteen are already having their names engraved on next years awards SO Kanye you better get your crying ass ready when you lose next year again.

And that American Boy chick was singing along with the record.
Adele as BEST NEW ARTIST well, move aside Marc Cohn you have been replaced in the "New Artist" jinx.



Ahhh...I see a pattern here....

Yo! Kerry Underwood's female Guitarist was AMAZING!! eek Awesome Solo.


I was thinking the same thing, she and her band tore it up, up until then everybody had been so lame, who would have thought the country artist would rock harder than everybody else, i like cold play put their performances ambarasing.
