I'm completely enjoying the Grammys this year, despite its occasional air of PBS fund-drive oldies concert. I'd rather listen to the One Remaining Top with Smokey, Ne-Yo and Jamie Foxx than the ready-to-break-water M.I.A. any day. But then again, I'm old.
Speaking of PBS oldies concerts, Neil Diamond is on! He looks great, but apparently can't sing anymore. And it just isn't the same without the silver sequined shirt. Again, old.
And welcome back, Whitney Houston, we've missed you and you look gorgeous!
Conspicuously, blessedly absent: Beyonce. (Yes, I know, she seems like a very nice person, but I have an irrational dislike for her, mainly because rumours of her talent have reached me, but I've yet to see any real evidence of anything other than great marketing and some catchy, mostly-forgettable pop tunes. Quick! Sing "Bootylicious" right now! Can't do it, can ya?).
And did anyone else find it odd that Gwyneth Paltrow introduced Radiohead, of which her husband's band is a weak knockoff?

Thanks for the visit! That is quite something,the name(s) coincidence!
Aiko was coined by a long time friend
3 decades ago.
The Grammy's were surprisingly bearable this year. That is interesting about Gwyneth and Radiohead. Maybe it's a big tent, you know? Did you notice that Chris Martin did not follow protocol and walk backstage after accepting an award, but walked back down to his seat? Interesting character, he is.
actually, i do a cover of bootylicious, though i can't much stand the quasi-diva, either...
gimme a call jane! g
