Loved LG's bowie tribute - fabulous - costumes, mannerisms, dancing and we all know she's got one hell of a voice - Bowie would be very proud. Would love to see her do a full tribute album.

Taylor Swift won??? WTF? Glad that Bruno & Co. won for Uptown Funk....Bruno's reaction as Beyawnce was reading the winner was priceless!!!! [Edited 2/15/16 20:28pm]


What did he do? I'm asking because I didn't watch.


He yelled out something like "YEAHHHHH BEYYYOOONNNNCCCEEEE"!!!!! From what I remember but she was literally a millisecond from beginning to announce the winner when he hurled it out...that was the funny part b/c it was as if he already knew they had won. lol Would had been a huge fail if they weren't the winners though.

I miss the moments when AOTY winners were NO SURPRISES to the audience, like when OutKast won...

Kendrick would've given a fine speech.


The bitch Taylor Swift is one ungrateful fuck, she didn't even thank Kendrick.


I'm so angry cause I stayed up so late tryin to see Kendrick deliver a nice speech and kinda say Fuck you to all the ones that underestimate hip hop as a genre of music and then talk about black history month or something.

Again, what the fuck just happened neutral neutral

My theory: That speech was directed at kanye and possibly future haters that feel she doesn't deserve this award.

If she had one bone of decency in her skeleton she'd give the award RIGHT AWAY to Kendrick and say Fuck you to the Academy.

Yes!! Loved that Mark acknowledged George Clinton who was in the audience the WHOLE TIME and yet nobody mentioned him!!! These guys keep forgetting that without George Clinton, Stevie Wonder and greats like Prince and David Bowie current good music would never sound the same.

Beyoncé's appearance was disturbing, what the hell? Can't they get George the funk himself to award uptown Funk?

Fuckin still mad at Kendrick losin the award again, he still won 5 lol but the sound of Album of The Year being awarded to 1989 is basically ugly.

My GRAMMY RECAP:



Top 5 best things:

1) Kendrick's performance.
2) Kendrick winning Rap Album.

3) Kendrick's glasses.
4) Bruno's shouting at Beyoncé and him being this drunk guy who gets everybody drunk.
5) David Bowie's tribute.

Top 5 worst things:

1) Taylor winning AOTY.
2) Taylor existing in the first place
3) Maurice Day's so-called tribute, what's that?
4) Lauryn Hill canceling her performance, a glimpse of Lauryn would've just saved the day.
5) Pitbull being called "Grammy winning artist Pitbull"

Top 5 weirdest things:

1) Rihanna canceling her performance (Rumor has it that she got deported back to Barbados, others say Andra Day ate her)
2) Miguel's 40 seconds singing She's Out of My Life
3) O'Shea Jackson & Ice Cube having to present any award they're asked to present TOGETHER for the rest of their lives, which is disturbingly annoying.
4) Adele's performance???! neutral She clearly decided to show off vocals cause All I Ask is the most difficult song to sing on her album, yet she could've done it nice & easy with WWWY or Send My Love.
5) Beyoncé showing up for presenting with THAT dress like why does she have to dress like that for a 5 second appearance on national television?



AND





....


















The coolest thing ever:

D'Angelo NOT SHOWING UP lol lol lol lol lol lol lol

It was very misplaced. Like why is she presenting record of year? They got her presenting it like she is some type of legend or something. nuts

Hell, they could have asked Lionel Ritchie to do it OR George Clinton. It would have been really nice if he had did it! I am SO glad Bruno shouted at her like he was drunk lol He doesn't seem to kiss her ass. He got me so hyped when he did that. razz

Oh, thanks biggrin Yeah, I agree, Miguel has a fine voice but the whole thing seemed very weird, it was short and they had a clip of MJ's video... They should've done a proper tribute or keep his name away from the trash that occured in that place.

I miss Michael too confused Whenever these ceremonies end, one may just take a moment to realize how rare and gifted MJ was.

So happy for him and Mark Ronson and glad that Mark gave credit to the funk artists and bands that inspired them biggrin

It did seem weird and out of place. It should have been much longer but Im glad Miguel didn't butcher the song razz Michael was truly unique for sure, rare talent, once in a life time. I haven't watch any award show since they gave all those tributes to him when he passed away.

Which award did D Angelo win? I am glad he won! biggrin D Angelo doesn't give a fuq about the Grammy's

I am SO proud of him! He deserves ALL his success! Next time he goes on tour I am definitly seeing him again! Beyawnce looked a hot mess and folks were saying she sounded awkward when she gave her speech and struggled to read the prompt right lol Did you see that? She literally had no reason to be there at all. :nod:They could have allowed anybody besides her to present that award.

It was a quick way to promote Spike Lee's movie.

I didn't mind Beyonce giving out an award, but I don't hate her just because.

And considering Taylor Swift won AOTY does it even matter who presents?

lol Oh please, we don't hate her but there was no reason for her to be there..period.They could have let George Clinton or Ron Isley give that award to Bruno since he already knew he was going to win it anyway. It would have been more fitting since they are some of the legendary soul funksters who inspired the song. Beyonce unnessarily interjects herself into things just because she craves attention.

Yeah she was shoehorned in, but she is a huge megastar. Why not?

She is not a "huge" mega star and there is not a huge demand for her because her receipts tell a different story but meh...I get your point I guess. It would have been great to see George Clinton up there.

Kendrick, agreed.

Taylor, could not disagree more. If you don't like someone's music, fair enough, because all appreciation of art is subjective. Wishing somebody didn't exist in the first place is unnecessarily hateful and over the top, bordering on sociopathic. I didn't/don't like a lot of the people on the Grammy's, I muted them and got on with enjoying my night.

Isn't All I Ask the new/next single from 25? I think it is, so performing it makes sense in that context.

Exactly. She's desperately trying to hold onto the spotlight, and her showing up just to present an award was all about self promotion. Just had to make an appearance so that ppl dont forget that tickets to her tour are going on sale the next day rolleyes


Anyways lets look at some REAL talent here, Janelle Monae and Bruno plus Jidenna!

Janelle & Bruno mushy
