<p>Alwaysamom, thanks for the heads up, lol.</p>
<p>In the memorium, they didnt mention Don Cornelius and Etta James.</p>
<p>Pardon my French, but all I can say to Nicky Minaj is ***?</p>
<p>W T ___?</p>
<p>Where the heck did Nicky Minaj come from? Never heard of her before. Seems like a Lady Gaga/Madonna wannabe.</p>
<p>I don’t understand Nicki Minaj’s appeal. She’s not a good rapper (and I do like female rappers), she’s not a good singer, she’s not even that pretty (not to be shallow… but let’s be honest, that’s why a lot of “artists” are famous), she’s not particularly shocking, she doesn’t put on a good show. </p>
<p>Somebody please explain the appeal!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Without the talent.</p>
<p>The first time I ever saw/heard Nicki Minaj was on SNL. I didn’t get her then and I don’t get her now.</p>
<p>“Where the heck did Nicky Minaj come from? Never heard of her before. Seems like a Lady Gaga/Madonna wannabe”</p>
<p>Haha! You must not be listening to Rap/Hop Hop!</p>
<p>And she’s from Queens…like me…and LL …swoon…</p>
<p>“Somebody please explain the appeal!”</p>
<p>I can’t explain it, but she’s makin’ paper! </p>
<p>I think she adds something to the collaborations she does, and ALL the hip hop artists seem to want to collaborate with her.</p>
<p>Ya’ll aren’t ruining it for us, I think it is more about making sure to catch the good performances, not the suspense of the awards. I did not even know I should watch for the commercials!.</p>
<p>I’d never seen Bruno Mars, the only Bruno I knew was the judge on DWTS (not me, my parents!) but Bruno M- very pretty to look at and the retro band moves are fun.</p>
<p>Should I join you in music hell since I don’t care for the Beatles?</p>
<p>
I’m so glad to know I’m not the only one! DH and DD think I’m absolutely nuts. I can’t help it … I just don’t like them. I do like John Lennon, though.</p>
<p>Does Paul McCartney have to pay the Jackson estate to sing these songs. </p>
<p>Abby Road - what a great album.</p>
<p>How could you not like “Rubber Soul”?</p>
<p>[Bruno</a> Mars discography - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia](<a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bruno_Mars_discography]Bruno”>Bruno Mars discography - Wikipedia)</p>
<p>His big break was “Nothing On You” with B.o.B. Not sure how he feels about that…Thinking of that SNL performance…</p>
<p>Looks like his next break is on “Breaking Dawn”. Good for him…</p>
<p>I also first saw Bruno Mars on SNL and fell in love with him instantly. I can’t think of a single song of his that I don’t like.</p>
<p>Big ending with Paul McCartney, Bruce Springstreen, Dave Grohl, and Joe Walsh.</p>
<p>Bruno Mars is an amazing (and IMO, underrated) talent. He’s one of those that can appeal to numerous different audiences and seems to have a lot of class.</p>
<p>I like John, too, and I’m enjoying the shots of Paul and his new wife in the audience.</p>
<p>It’s nice to know that I’m not the only one who isn’t a fan of the Beatles or Paul M.</p>
<p>I thought I was the only one who didn’t really care for the Beatles. Don’t care for Elvis, either.</p>
<p>I love the Beatles but not Paul’s solo stuff. He was smart tonight to do the Beatles rather than his own stuff.</p>
<p>
I have always loved Elvis. I remember the day he died like it was yesterday. I was in Washington D.C. with my youth group. I love his cheesy movies as much as I love his music. My aunt and I took a road trip to Mississippi a couple of years ago to visit relatives and stopped in Tupelo on the way back to visit Elvis’ birth place.</p>
<p>Okay…so I just saw Taylor S…I think my surprised look might be convincing. Not sure why she gets a pass and Nicki Minaj doesn’t. Humph .</p>
