Popular Post smudge ★ Posted February 5 Popular Post Share #3 Posted February 5 I liked when Miley slammed the mic stand down at the end of her performance. Ya! We all have to admit Tracy Chapman stole the show. I don't like Luke's cover of her song, but I really liked last night's live performance. That was fantastic. Great to see her. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Roy Orbison originally did "I Drove All Night." When I found that out and heard it, it creeped me out. I did like Luke's performance last night. Maybe it's how the radio version was produced or something. But really, the context of the song doesn't fit him IMO. Last night was really good tho.

Patsy Cline did Crazy better than Willie Nelson did. I’m fine with covers if they add a new flavor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted February 5 Share #14 Posted February 5 Did you guys catch Lisa & Wendy backing up Annie Lennox? That was pretty cool too! I have heard the Luke Combs version of fast car and I liked it. Them both performing it together was my favorite performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was gorgeous, as always, and gave her own voice to “nothing compares 2u” during the tribute segment. She also raised a fist and said, “Artists for a ceasefire!” which was a fitting tribute to both Sinead O’Connor’s activism and the spirit of the time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, you may be right! It's your interpretation, man. You named, what, five or six songs from the past 50 yrs to back your opinion. I simply used conditionals to make my seemingly clear comments show that I am open to covers but not to ALL or MOST of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the Grammys but did catch the Tracy Chapman duet on twitter. Very nice and I liked how he didn't try to sing over her. Missed Celine Dion's appearance so can't weigh in on if Taylor ignored her. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted February 5 Share #27 Posted February 5 22 minutes ago, Kirby said: if Taylor ignored her. It was Taylor’s night! She walked into the room after the live broadcast had started, surrounded by an entourage. She wore two accessories that would add meaning to the night’s narrative: gloves and a fan. After winning her 14th Grammy, she commented that the metric for winning depends upon the fans, and she has the fans! After JayZ took a thinly veiled snipe at her success, the gloves came off. Literally. While accepting her record-breaking 4th Grammy for best album, she commented that she loves the work, including traveling to Tokyo in her long list of how Grammy-winning moments are made. After all, Taylor has all the fans! And later that evening she could be seen giving the fan to Sza, who also won a Grammy. The message…you’re going to need this. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoseySusan Posted February 5 Share #28 Posted February 5 Now, Miley Cyrus. Diva extraordinaire! A high-energy performance of her Grammy winning song “Flowers” was underscored by the devilishly honest comment, “I’m performing at the Grammys so I can wake up tomorrow and watch video of myself performing at the Grammys.” Unapologetic femme force of nature, she had four costume changes during the live broadcast, each couture enhanced by either transparent fabric, a playful tease of side-boob possibilities, or both! Give her the Grammy; she knows what to do with a spotlight and a stage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
