Didn't Jack White do the same thing with Johnny Cash's last album or was that someone else.

Performances

So far I liked:

Alicia Keys doing If I Ain't Got You

J-Lo & Marc Anthony - I like latin music

Melissa E. and Joss Stone - I didn't know the cancer caused melissa to lose her hair, that shocked me, but she and Joss put on a strong performance

Green Day - cool band

The opening with Black Eyes Peas, Franz Ferdinand, Los Lonely Boys, Maroon 5 was kinda cool

[USTVFanFromUK]

WTF? John Mayer for 'Song of The Year'. The Grammys just aren't what they used to be.

Just saw Green Day get their Grammy. Of course their a cool band their from California! I loved them when a lot of people thought they were weak.

Okay is it me or is Jaime Foxx getting to be annoying????

I think Gwen Stefani is the new J.Lo. I will skip the J.Lo Marc show.

Congrats to both, and to all the winners.

The funny thing about the show was that any award Usher won was before the telecast. The categories presented during the show that he was nominated for, he didn't win. His album was so massive, four #1 singles. He was probably waiting for Grammy night for months because he probably figured that would be his night, like it was for MJ when Thriller came out. He didn't get to make any on air acceptance speech. So after such a huge, successful album, it turned out to not be such a big night for him. The performance with James Brown was nice though.

I know I'm going to catch heckfire for this, but I'm just glad that the host, a putative jazz singer, didn't win for The Dana Owens Album and lost to Nancy Wilson, a real jazz singer. Everything I've heard from TDOA is flat, antiseptic, and self-absorbed. Ms. Owens, to parphrase from her most recent movie, should play to her strengths. Singin' ain't one of them!

Steve I will agree with you. She only has one good song on that album and it is California Dreamin', and I had to listen to that a few times before I liked it. Glad Nancy Wilson won.
