Grammy past: All star version of Across The Universe.

The Beatles get shit on back in the day..lol:

I have to admit it, Alicia Keys does the best job. She should remake that song.

Stevie sucked. Sad.

All you others say Hell Yea!! woot!

ill This song soooo doesn't work as an all-star, WATW-style schmaltz-fest.

If they wanted a Beatles number, Come Together might've been a good one that rockers and soulers alike could've gotten into, and which might've retained a shred of credibility even with the obligatory 'Vegas treatment' everything gets at award shows.

that was terrible.

Just not suited for that type of arrangement. The original doesn't have an all-out-moment in it cuz it don't belong. Dont's shove summin where it don't belong. I know this cuz plenty of women have told me so....hehe.

If your gonna do something like this, at least learn the words to the song. This is a major reason why, they sounded terrible. Reading the lyrics off the teleprompter just does not cut it.

it's as if they never even rehearsed the song to see if it would work.

Great song, but far from a superstar anthem. How about Hey Jude for some vocal acrobatics & guitar solos?
