Running commentary anybody?

I thought the Police were better than expected, but still kind of boring…

I thought the Police were pretty excellent. I'm almost willing to give Sting a pass for being such a twat for the past 15 years.

Right after that Jamie Foxx came out and absolutely sucked the life out of the show. Everything else has been a trainwreck. Dixie Chicks, Black Eyed Peas, Mary J. Blige, Justin, etc…

Police were good. Thank God they didn't do one of those medley things and just rocked out on a great song. After seeing the upcoming talent as they were going to a commercial, I've decided to go to bed.

Booker T. and the MG's Lifetime Achievement Award was presented by the Black-Eyed Peas. Worst Grammy indignity in years.

Is the Rascal Flatts singer the fat guy who screams like a girl in those credit card commercials?

Holy shit! Ornette Coleman is on to accept his lifetime achievement award and as a presenter. That's the first time I've ever heard him talk, even after seeing him live.

With that suit he looked more like Ornate Coleman.

This "Grammy Idol" contest is a fix. She's already signed and probably has a record deal. What a sham!

62% of favorites picked and out of the last 8 years, record 78% of actual winners picked.

(i do two lists: personal favorite and who i think will actually win.)

Police gets my money this year..

I turned it off when Beyonce started performing. The Police and The Dixie Chicks were both awesome enough.

And Jamie Foxx was terrible.

I agree. I only saw Justin Timberlake's performance…I couldn't take anything else after that.

Was glad to see that the Flaming Lips won best engineered album though.

Unrelated topic (and sorry to hi-jack a post), but I have a question for sonick. Do you ever frequent the Gin Mill? I was there for a friend's engagement party on Friday night, and there was a guy that resembled you (at least the pictures of your that Dupek regularly posts). Just curious.
