52nd Annual Grammys

blow69

Jesus what the hell happened to the Grammys. They at least used to be a somewhat acceptable awards show. Looks like all the really annoying Top Ten songs in the last year have recieved multiple nominations.

Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Lady GaGa. Is this really what's considered great music?

No nominations for Kanye.:P

Congrats to Imelda May !

Who got to perform Live with Jeff Beck , she is only the 2nd Irish act to do so. Wishing her all the best following her dream ,as it looks like she went down well with the media.

Did ye see Elton and Lady Gaga perform? They were the first act, wasn't bad. I was initially scared for Elton but it was far from being a train wreck.

What's with Beyoncé getting a load of awards?!

Because for some strange unexplained reason a lot of people seemed to like her songs.

I don't get it. Didn't her album only get lukewarm reviews?

The Grammys have turned into a popularity contest.

Shame!

irishh_bob

single ladies is in my top 3 worst songs of all time , poker face is ( imagine ) in comparison

Fcukin useless monotone singing Beyonce. Absolute positive racism bullsh1t

Was anyone else just a teensy bit proud of Imelda May though? I thought she was a legend with Jeff Beck. It's so nice to see a hometown gal making it!
