Were the Grammys on?

(I recall Mimi Parker was included in the RRHOF Induction Ceremony's "In Memoriam" segment... so the Grammys apparently didn't even think to at least reference that as a starting point.)

(or, even worse, decided she didn't make the cut)

Anyone pregaming(?)

Most of my favorites are being shut out in the early awards… though I will note that Grammys have gone to ILM faves “Padam Padam”; Tyla (“Water”); and Wet Leg (for remixing a Depeche Mode song)

Ugh, boygenius won Best Rock Song…

Dry Cleaning won best recording package for Stumpwork

Boo, Louis Cole lost his bid in alternative jazz

xxpost Oh no, girls stealing awards from real rock groups like Arctic Monkeys and Foo Fighters

I was rooting for Olivia, but go off. “Not Strong Enuff” is barely a rock song, by any measure

also it sucks

I fondly remember the days when ILM rightly didn't give a shit about this nonsense

When was that, exactly?

Whose over-the-top Grammy performance will make the least sense this year?

So, the Grammy nominations...

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?

I joined in 2006. Don't remember much Grammy chat before the late 10s.

But idk I'm the Grinch, enjoy your silly awards show

lol Dry Cleaning what?

yeah wait are the Grammies good now lol

the Academy doesn't like good music but they love pubes

Molly Tuttle rightfully won best bluegrass album in a year with a lot of great bluegrass albums.

She might front the best band on the planet right now.

Tracy Chapman looks/sounds great playing “Fast Car” w Luke Combs

Kill Bill performance was pretty cool, but I’ve never gotten into the song

Awesome “Vampire”!

that Tracy Chapman / Luke Combs performance was terrific.

Midnights… godammit

that Tracy Chapman / Luke Combs performance was terrific.

they sounded very nice together

new Taylor Swift album in April called The Tortured Poets Department

Reaction shots of Olivia Rodrigo and Ed Sheehan suggest they're not amused.

guessing it's another Antonoff/Dessner-produced album based on that lol title

I'm not watching, but apparently Killer Mike just got arrested and escorted out of the Grammy's for something unrelated to the awards ceremony.

Cool to hear "Makeba" by Jain in a commercial. Hell yeah!

Whoa -- Annie Lennox singing "Nothing Compares 2 U."

Reaction shots of Olivia Rodrigo and Ed Sheehan suggest they're not amused.

Honestly, Miley too… maybe I’m projecting, but I feel like they were all “wtf is this shit” with her big “announcement”

With Wendy and Lisa

Annie Lennox calling for a ceasefire, absolute queen shit right there

(bar is low, I know)

yep

wow, I loved that Tracy Chapman-Luke Combs duet.

Watching on delay and to provide a slightly different take...

Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs was ok, i sort of wish it was only Tracy as they featured Luke too much

SZA with killing men was over the top

Billie Eilish is a star and very deserving

Still not a fan of Miley Cyrus

This Jay-Z speech is … quite a ride

The Jay-Z speech was fun. Also, this Joni Mitchell performance was really good.

everything i hear about this grammys suggests they finally put on a good show, after... idk can anyone remember a good grammys

Didn’t they do the 50 Years of Hip-Hop medley last year?

Joni Mitchell stole the show

Absolutely stunning

Love seeing Burna Boy, although I was really hoping for a Tems guest appearance

idk can anyone remember a good grammys

wasn't there one a few years ago that people didn't hate

Miley and Taylor winning back to back like grizzled gunslingers. I liked Taylor dragging LDR up with her.

Olivia and Lana both shut out… how lame.

as the kids like to say that was pretty damn mid. and boring. and fake like trevor noah's fake smile. surprised they didn't all sing american pie and hey jude at the end. its official. america sucks. some serious attempts at tearjerking too. nice try, annie lennox. it would have been way cooler if stevie wonder had done a duet with jimmy buffett.

new billy joel song is one of the worst songs i have ever heard

(travis and dua and miley and sza and poor poor fantasia were so zzzzzzzzzzz.....where's the k-pop when you need it....)
