You love them!

We love them!

The saga continues!

It never ends!

It's all about Chris Brown and Rihanna ever since four years ago. It 's been a soap opera that I've been an on and off again participant of. Just when I think I'll never pay attention to them again I'm swept back in. As of now I surrender. I'm all in! This thing is better then the mega-soap "Scandal" on ABC (If you're not watching you should be). This list of sh!t that's gone down over the past four years between these two have had the nation talking.

There's the THREE violent altercations Chris has had since that time. The Twitter outbursts by both of them. Rumors of apparent cocaine addiction for both parties. Exes dragged into the mix. Currently Chris is in the middle of a probation review that could just be slander or damaging (it always seems to be that way with Chris) with a foxy looking Rihanna ushering him into court while blowing him kisses from the sidelines. And of course on the eve of Grammy night Chris would have to total his Porsche while eluding the papparazzi.

Now EVERYONE seems up in arms about a supposed duet (can you believe it? Of course you can, it's Chris and Rhi) the two are set to perform tonight. To be honest I could care less about the pairs ultimate by-the-numbers performance, but I'll be wide-eyed with my popcorn waiting for the fallout. And there WILL be fall-out. They're america's favorite couple, or at least mine.

So grammy night will all be about whether the two will perform together (It's already been reported that yes they will perform). If they don't it'll be a disappointment. It's been all about them for the past four years.

I would hope so as well!

The Shammys are just so bland today lol

I will admit last year I was very impressed with Bruno Mars for me he was a highlight. I enjoyed his homage to James Brown. They need different performers instead of the same ones. I watched it briefly last year for the Whitney Tributes.

honestly if Chris Brown and Rhianna performing together is gonna make your night, or its gonna make this show its a clear reflection on how bad the state of this so called music world is. Pretty sad. If they do Facebook statuses will blow up tonight as the mindless zombie nation goes haywire, sometimes i wish that the internet would go out for like a week just to see what people will do.

I think my interest in Chris-Rihanna performing is the ultimate reflection of how the Grammy's will go down tonight.

We're annually disappointed by the nominees and ultimate winners so...

But there are some good nominees sprinkled here and there this year, including a strong Best Album catagory. It still won't prevent fun. from winning!

The show is always good for a few good performances and a professional, splashy production.

Nah im not hating just saying that these shows now have to have THAT EVENT to draw you in, and if it takes that to draw peeps in, then like Prince said, you get the audience you deserve. They shouldnt even be mentioning nonsense like Rihanna and Chris Brown, plus he had some kind of car crash now too, drama drama drama and the Grammies wants that so it can get back its ratings that have gone done constantly

I will be watching to see Prince present, otherwise I wouldn't be watching.

My "mute" button will get put to good use. Most of those shown will be on mute status.

the thing is if they were interesting as performers i would almost care to see them but they arent, they put on the same type of performance every show they are on. I mean honestly the highlight of Rihannas performances was when she got the TIme on the same stage with her. Musically im not that into the acts, though many now are better than some in the past, the Grammy's still are off the mark alot of time with the nominating but every awards show is and they never please everyone. My main concern is that the GOOD performers and talented artists that did get the nominations get overshadowed by "fake events".

Ya'll know I was just being a little silly with my post.

Just trying to have a little fun on a quiet Sunday afternoon.

BUT, like you said, this news has been trumped up, so it is on peoples minds.

For better or worse I watch the Grammys every year, so I'll see all the carnage regardless. Needless to say it won't stop people from going batsh!t, which is what Chris, Rihanna, jay Z, Beyonce, Joan Rivers, Bossip, Twitter trending, the grammy committee and a thousand outraged blogs all want.

Mumford & Sons won an award during the pre-show. Don't know which category though. I heard that on CNN from one of the reporters.

I hadn't planned on watching the Grammys but after a lurking stroll through PM&M, I think this has the makings of a most entertaining evening.

Of course, "entertaining" being in the eyes of the beholder. lol

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Janelle Monae just said (on E!) that she had her dream collaboration on her upcoming album - but she wouldn't say who it is... hmmm

I'm gonna check it out since Princey may appear, plus the o7 hinting that something may happen.

I shudder to think what I'm gonna have to sit through just to catch those few moments.

Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.

I have pretty low expectations of the Grammys these days but I loved Bruno's performance.

I thought he had lost some of that weight awhile ago but it looks like he gained it back.

No matter...he's still adorable to me, mushy
