I know you are all too damn cool for the 2005 Grammy Awards; but don't you think they deserve a little thread action anyway?

Lisa-Marie Presley's gonna be part of this? WHY?!?!?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:14 (nineteen years ago) link

Ugh. Latifah.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:15 (nineteen years ago) link

Ms. Latifah, you're not gonna do jokes. PLEASE TELL ME YOU ARE NOT GONNA DO JOKES.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:16 (nineteen years ago) link

Ooh what kooky and eclectic presentation combinations are we gonna see tonight?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:17 (nineteen years ago) link

people who don't immediately turn the channel to Arrested Development at 8:30 are mental

Franz Ferdinand sounded really good, except I kept thinking I was watching Stop Making Sense..

I don't ever want to hear that Black Eyed Peas song ever again. They played it at the DNC convention last year, and we all know how that one turned out.

I was kind of amazed that they managed to mash all those songs together, as much of a mess as it was...I mean, singing "Heaven" and "This Love" and "Take Me Out" and "Rich Girl" all over "Let's Get It Started"? actually I was kind of impressed that they were able to make that work at all logistically, but I guess they're all kind of the same tempo.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:21 (nineteen years ago) link

two of those songs were in my top whatever singles of the year. jesus.

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:23 (nineteen years ago) link

I kinda liked that Los Lonely Boys just won an award. I mean, their music is deathly dull, but there's something sort've sweet about the three brothers winnin' something. And their Dad was there.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:23 (nineteen years ago) link

BEPs should change that song back to "Let's Get Retarded," since it would fit even more TV appearances.

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:24 (nineteen years ago) link

The Brit Awards (once) had a "Can't Get You Out of My Head" + "Blue Monday" mash-up; all we get are truckloads of incoherent medleys.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

that whole thing was a train wreck. if i didn't hate any of those songs before, i do now.

("take me out" is still sorta okay, but grrr.....)

― lemin (lemin), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:25 (nineteen years ago) link

Well THANK GOD Alicia's not wearing a hat this time around.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:26 (nineteen years ago) link

Is that Prince's old drummer Michael Bland with Alicia?

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:28 (nineteen years ago) link

Meanwhile I'm sitting here listening to video game music.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:29 (nineteen years ago) link

I just saw Ricky Martin clapping!

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:30 (nineteen years ago) link

Well, the Alicia song was actually kinda awesome. See, people, you can be dynamic while sitting down!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:30 (nineteen years ago) link

the jamie foxx / alicia collab. was spectacular.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:32 (nineteen years ago) link

PRINCE WINS!

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:34 (nineteen years ago) link

Wait wait wait...who won the dance music awards?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:35 (nineteen years ago) link

So did Bill Clinton, for best Spoken Word Album. The tally thus far:

Bill Clinton: 1
Usher: 0

― m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Toxic won best record, Kish Kash won best album in dance.

― mike h. (mike h.), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:37 (nineteen years ago) link

This better get better fast.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:37 (nineteen years ago) link

Kish Kash won best album in dance.

Yet another Grammy/ILM mind-meld!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:38 (nineteen years ago) link

Arrested Development is on, change to that. Just refresh this page occasionally: http://www.grammys.com/awards/grammy/47winners.aspx

― mike h. (mike h.), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:38 (nineteen years ago) link

So now Bill and Hilary have both won Grammys ... surely this makes them the first ever President-First Lady couple to do so?

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:39 (nineteen years ago) link

Gag, I missed Fergie's abs, never mind the "medley." Still in pukeshock from Maroon5's Sting vs. Jerry Lewis. Gee this was a swell idea Matt. OMG! Border Collies on the Animal Planet's Agility Dog Show (pre-Westminster,which is tomorrow night) thank U J

― don, Monday, 14 February 2005 01:41 (nineteen years ago) link

Yes, Jerry Lee looks cadaverous, but I'm sure he'd kill each and every individual in the auditorium one-by-one if he could.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:41 (nineteen years ago) link

So did Bill Clinton, for best Spoken Word Album. The tally thus far:

Bill Clinton: 1
Usher: 0

-- m.e.a. (flpyrw...), February 14th, 2005.

Usher already won 3 awards that were announced before the televised ceremony.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:42 (nineteen years ago) link

If I didn't have deep suspicions about ILM's ability to recognize a good musical performance, it was cemented by the completely mental remarks being made about what must have been a Grammy opening in an alternate universe, as everyone in that opening medly was fucking awesome. So far, this is the first Grammy Awards where it looks like everyone's going to give a fantastic performance (esp. vocally).

Okay I realize the above is slightly undercut by U2 starting out with the moany slow song but Bono still sounds good.

Arrested Development guest-starring Martin Short = I'm not watching.

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:43 (nineteen years ago) link

Dan, are you kidding? Gwen and Eve just sounded totally *lost* and without lung power.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:43 (nineteen years ago) link

i def. think the performances are quite good -- better than last years "lets throw them against the wall to see what sticks" haphazard collaborations.

― maria tessa sciarrino (theoreticalgirl), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Ray Charles has also won three non-televised Grammys, which makes me even more confident that he'll pick up some of the big awards.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:44 (nineteen years ago) link

this U2 song is good! I liked it when they played it on SNL too. why did they release such a crappy song as their 2nd single instead of this?

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:44 (nineteen years ago) link

Jamie Foxx did not play that piano

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

That's one of the best U2 songs in recent memory, ruined by Bono's sombrero.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

Quentin Tarantino is sitting next to the RZA.

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:46 (nineteen years ago) link

OK, I have a short memory, but has there been a presentation duo or trio that lacked a movie star?

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:47 (nineteen years ago) link

are you saying he didn't or he can't? I wasn't playing close attention to whether he was during that performance, but I remember it being a big deal that he was really playing in Ray.

(x-post, re: Jamie Foxx)

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:48 (nineteen years ago) link

is the kill bill soundtrack up for something?

Don't give the rock award to the old people!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:48 (nineteen years ago) link

I love the sound of Penelope Cruz's voice when she says "American Idiot". Dreamy.

― MindInRewind (Barry Bruner), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:48 (nineteen years ago) link

Green Day are probably the youngest people in that category! would you prefer it went to Costello? (xp)

― Al (sitcom), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:49 (nineteen years ago) link

billy joe's nu-goth look is so hott.

― teeny (teeny), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:50 (nineteen years ago) link

No, I meant don't give it to Costello!

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:50 (nineteen years ago) link

i sure hope green day mentions that they hate war

― miccio (miccio), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:50 (nineteen years ago) link

The only thing dangerous about Green Day these days is that eyeliner, which would get Billie Joe laughed out of my college cafeteria.

― Alfred Soto (Alfred Soto), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I guess they must like war, then.

― Michael Daddino (epicharmus), Monday, 14 February 2005 01:51 (nineteen years ago) link

I think Ellen was sitting next to Portia de Rossi, speaking of "Arrested Development."

"My position is not the one which is attempting to contradict observed results. "

whose is? where are all these people on this thread who have said "no one finds usher sexy"? i must have missed them, so please point them out to me.

Have you heard of a concept called implication?

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 22:44 (nineteen years ago) link

"Justin has a stronger falsetto but the aforementioned tightness gives it a really unpleasant, uncomplimentary edge."

that's impossible; you're merely embracing your minority stance by contradicting the millions of justin fans who find his falsetto completely pleasant. how dare you express such a perverse opinion?

― live from turkmenistan, Tuesday, 15 February 2005 23:17 (nineteen years ago) link

That will be a valid argument when vocal pedagogues start posting to ILM praising the free and open production evident in Justin's falsetto.

― The Ghost of Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 15 February 2005 23:26 (nineteen years ago) link

(feel free to try to continue to "catch me out"; I'm planning on ignoring you now)

You guys are talking about Justin Hawkins of the Darkness, right?
