Poll: The Grammys Were Ass!

[Extra-Ordinary]

I didn't follow them, as alas, I live in Ol' Blighty, but I heard that they snubbed some really good artists, and that there was a thing with Paul & Ringo that didn't go down that well.

I was just lurking here, I didn't actually watch the Grammy's except to see Paul and Ringo play together, so what "thing" are you talking about?

I heard from quasi-unreliable sources that they got snubbed or something? Or that their performance was really underplayed.

Either way, those damn whippersnappers, ruining good music! *shakes cane at Taylor Swift*

Oh, I know what you're talking about.
There were two drummers, one was Ringo the other was Abe Laboriel, Paul's current drummer. Ringo got a spotlight, Abe was relatively darkened. Here's the thing, The Beatles are my favorite band of all time, and seeing them play together was really nice, but honestly, Abe is a way better drummer than Ringo so he was being mostly overshadowed for the whole song, if Ringo was playing at all, it looked like he was miming somewhat. I can't blame Ringo for not knowing how to play one of Paul's songs, that's fair enough, but still.
Still a pretty good performance though.

The Grammy's were on Sunday. Huh. I was more enraged at the utter travesty that was the Royal Rumble finish.

Ah well. Apparently no matter what I would have watched, I would have been mad, so it all works out.

Thank god I'm not the only one. Botchtista should've taken a dive when quite literally the entire arena was cheering for reigns to win. But hey, at least the New Age Outlaws won something.

OT: I'm surprised that anybody gives a damn about the grammy awards anymore. Unless you're into pop and rap it doesn't really offer a lot, and the rock/metal acts they do nominate are usually sucky.

Same goes for the the winners for the metal grammys. Jethro Tull beat Metallica for the first one ever.

Oh, so the WWE is still employing monkeys and 2nd graders to write for them? I had to stop watching around November 2012 because it just got so shallow and dumb, even by the already low standards I expect from my wrestling. Which is sad, because their wrestlers can sell the shit out of it. Imagine if they had good stuff to work with!

It's not always bad. In fact, Raw the next night was one of the best I've seen in months. All of the matches were above average, even the divas match didn't suck. The also created what I'm guessing is going to be a feud between 2 trios.

I guess I'm still bitter about how clumsily they handled CM Punk's heel turn and how they absolutely refuse to push Ziggler in a big way. Did Orton's heel turn go any smoother or was it just a whole lot of eye rolling?

Daft Punk's Grammy win almost makes up for their Academy Award snub for Tron Legacy.

YES. (Which reminds me I still need to buy a physical copy).

For the most part I only realized the Grammy's occurred when my grandmother mentioned that Lorde won some awards.

She received a sizable spread in the Herald newspaper so I suspect many Kiwi's think this is the best Grammy Awards in a long time.

I never care about the Grammy's. Don't see why popularity awards are such a big deal. Even artists that take them seriously make me cringe. Why do you need a shiny trophy to validate your work? If you make music with the intent of winning an award and being popular then you've already lost.

I will say though I did not expect Daft Punk to win. Their last album was a total miss for me and I felt like the hype died over it after a month all over the net. Guess I was wrong

The Slipknot guy scared everyone. That was cool.

I didn't watch it, so I'm just going to take a wild guess: Was it Clown scaring everyone?

Anyway, I would have completely forgotten it was even a thing this year, except that apparently there was some kinda vaguely gay marriage related thing in there. Which meant that lots of idiots moaned about teh gays, which meant that a youtube channel I sub was calling them (the idiots) out on being arseholes. Does that make sense? I'm very tired.
