<p>Sad about Glen Campbell. In the 70’s when I was learning and playing guitar, I learned so many of his pieces. Loved his music.</p>

62

<p>I have a funny story about Tony Bennett. When he was a kid, he used to try to get my MIL’s attention by singing under her window. She didn’t want anything to do with him. In her words, “He was ugly, annoying, and couldn’t sing a lick”. She also said that his brother was much cuter and a better singer than he was back then.</p>

63

<p>I’m confused about the criteria for “new” artist. Bon Iver has been around for years.</p>

64

<p>Didn’t like the commercial with the girl from x Factor…who remembers her name?</p>

65

<p>mamabear, here is the definition for the award:</p>

<p>

</p>

66

<p>I can’t believe she made it through that song without cracking at all. </p>

<p>Guess I’m just a huge softie because there’s no way I could have done it- and I’ve never even met Whitney Houston, unlike Jennifer Hudson. I thought it was quite beautiful though.</p>

67

<p>

</p>

<p>That was D2’s comment, verbatim!</p>

68

<p>I have an album from 2007</p>

<p>nysmile - While it took me years to get around to it, seeing Tony Bennett in concert was on my bucket list. I’ve seen him in concert twice in the last couple of years, and have his new Duets CD. Love it.</p>

<p>Gotta say, his daughter, Antonia, opens for him, and she did swim in that gene pool!</p>

<p>Rhianna and the lip syncing…oy…</p>

<p>(not the Coldplay part…I guess these “Coldplay” kids are pretty good…hrumph…)</p>

<p>Romani, Jennifer H is going to sing Whitney?</p>

71

<p>@ Shrinkrap Melanie Amaro I like her but I don’t like that commerciaal.</p>

72

<p>Glen Campbell is a great guitar player. He got his start as a very sought after session musician. I never appreciated him in his day, but now I enjoy listening to him. I really like “By the Time I Get to Phoenix.” </p>

<p>I would like to see Gaga win something. I love the album “Born This Way.” Love the music and love the message.</p>

73

<p>Teriwtt, Haha. I think it’s a funny story. We’ve asked her many times if she regrets not paying attention to him. Her answer is always a firm “no way”. It’s funny to hear her tell the story.</p>

74

<p>It’ll be interesting to see how the ratings of this year’s show compare to previous years, due to Houston’s death.</p>

75

<p>I listen to current music, but I’m not a Deadmau5 fan. DH said he could see working out to their music and he kind of likes it. I just don’t get it.</p>

<p>Shrinkrap, yes, Jennifer Hudson sang “I Will Always Love You”.</p>

<p>I’m not enjoying the Nicki Minaj number.</p>

76

<p>I hope LL gets away with the praying…</p>

77

<p>Sorry, I keep forgetting that this is delayed across the country.</p>

78

<p>^I know I’m watching tonight and I haven’t watched in years.</p>

<p>Yes, shrinkrap, it was a nice personal tribute but it felt awkward.</p>

79

<p>I think this is the first time I’ve ever had to mute a performance at the Grammys. Ugh. Nicky Minaj.</p>

80

<p>^^^^^^^^^^</p>

<p>LOL… I keep thinking it’s going to get better. It can’t get any worse!</p>
