<p>Bon Iver? Never heard of him, but decent speech. “Sweet hook up”.</p>

<p>A super finale! Worth waiting for.</p>

123

<p>Jennifer! You nailed it.</p>

124

<p>

</p>

<p>Alicia Keys and Bonnie Raitt did a separate tribute to her.</p>

125

<p>

</p>

<p>Bon Iver has been around a long time, but has just broken into the commercial industry. I first started hearing him last spring on XM28, which is the Spectrum on XM Radio. Really like his stuff a lot. Was happy to see him win.</p>

126

<p>^Some review said he was “reining in his comtempt”.</p>

127

<p>So glad Adele took it all…she is just awesome. I not only loved her singing…but those four women she had as back up were terrific and so was the band. I’m getting her whole album.</p>

128

<p>My biggest shock of the evening…Adele is white!??</p>

129

<p>Loved hearing Adele sing and seeing her win last night. Also thought it was good to not go over the top on Whitney’s death… Probably the best Grammy show in a few years!</p>

130

<p>And they did a separate mention/tribute to Don Cornelius as well. With some guy in very big glasses.</p>

131

<p>OMG Toledo, I thought the SAME thing! She totally is not what I pictured in my mind! But after tonight hearing her, I am a fan!!!</p>

132

<p>Agreed…best Grammy show yet. I need to see that finale…maybe it will be online somewhere. My only issue with the Grammy awards…TOO LATE on a Sunday.</p>

133

<p>Checking in this morning just to see what everyone thought…</p>

<p>…agree; best Grammys in years; but WAY too late; two late Sunday nights in a row…I will be paying for it this week…</p>

<p>And loved the finale…</p>

<p>At least there is a week in between this and the Oscars…hopefully, that won’t go 3.5 hours…</p>

134

<p>If there is a link to that finale anywhere, I’d love to see it!!</p>

135

<p>^^google Grammy finale Paul McCartney and Friends…there is a link…I don’t think CC would want me to post…(is there still a restriction on posting videos?)</p>

<p>If you can’t find it, send me a message…</p>

136

<p>Apparently if you tick off the Catholic church you can get attention as a singer even if you have absolutely no ability and your music sounds like chalk on a blackboard.</p>

<p>“My biggest shock of the evening…Adele is white!??”</p>

<p>I had to chuckle at this post because my shocker of the evening - omg, Nicki Minaj is black?! I have never heard her sing but have heard her name.</p>

138

<p>Razorsharp: notice that she performed at 11:06 pm EST…outside the ratings window; </p>

<p>thought it was awful, besides the fact that it was rude…</p>

<p>That was definitely strategically placed…and not in a good way…</p>

<p>Like the last comment of the article posted: “somehow Lady Gaga now seems very normal”…hahaha</p>

139

<p>

</p>

<p>Yes, and what happened to Gaga? She used to be the show, now she watches others be the show. Is her 15 minutes of fame up?</p>

<p>The other thing that was interesting about the Grammy show was that there was so much Chris Brown. If you say something even close to criticizing gays, you get banned for life, but a good left and right hook across a women’s face seems to be no big deal in show biz.</p>
