This year marks the 40th anniversary of "Bridge Over Troubled Water" receiving GRAMMY Awards for Record Of The Year, Album Of The Year, and Song Of The Year, and the song will provide a moving tribute to the survivors of the tragic events in Haiti. As part of Bon Jovi's performance on the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards, fans will have an opportunity to decide which Bon Jovi hit the band will perform. For this "You Pick It, They Play It!" special segment, viewers can log on to www.cbs.com/grammys now and vote in the final round for one out of three of their favorite hit Bon Jovi songs: "Always," "It's My Life," and "Livin' On A Prayer." There is no registration to vote, and fans may vote as often as they wish. Additionally, a 30-second clip of each song may be viewed. Voting will continue until Bon Jovi's performance on the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards on Jan. 31, when the song with the most votes is revealed live during their segment. Additionally, the 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards Pre-Telecast ceremony will take place from 1 - 4 p.m. PT at the Los Angeles Convention Center and will be streamed live internationally on www.grammy.com beginning at 1 p.m. PT.

Did everyone get their 3D glasses at Target for the MJ tribute? They come in a 4 piece perforated set. I got two sets. One to use possibly, and one to keep in one piece and frame for posterity. they're just the red/blue glasses. I have 3 pair already. One pair from my Family Guy "Blue Harvest" special edition (the fight scene is in 3D as an extra on the disk), and two pair from the Friday The 13th 3D.

iCan't. I feel like I'm all award showed out. I actually thought the Grammys had already happened somewhere over the last 3 months. I'll record it and check it out but I'll be damned if I sit through 2-3 hours of another musical mess. Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

Let's not dismiss him anymore than we dismiss an old geezer like Prince and his shoddy hip. Smokey is still one of the best older voices around, and helped shape the musical landscape. People still reference him as a major influence in singing style. He was as much of a cornerstone in music, namely Motown, as Diana Ross or Martha Reeves, etc were. If anyone is an icon in music, it's that guy. You'd be surprised how many songs he wrote for other people that you probably like. | |

I didn't say he did I just said that he was there so maybe they ask him to appear at the grammy's too. And that whole people didn't care when he was here is getting so tired now , I was saying that too but let people make up for lost time even though it's not going to make a difference.
