AnniekNY Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Now, I just got home from an excellent night out at my cousins house and caught 2 performances (I taped the rest) Rhapsody In Blue - my second favorite song of all time. That was great! piano duet...ahhhhh! I could picture darlene in the orchestra.Amy Winehouse - the girl looked good, sounded great and it was so riveting to see her realize she's won the grammy for song of the year....and she was sober to remember the event (at least she looked pretty straight to me!)

hollies65 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Those Grammy people must not listen to much music...IMO. BTW Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings BURY Winehouse...IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bessieboo Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I am so impressed with Tina Turner, how can she be 68 ? FabulousWasn't Vince Gill cute after accepting his award from Ringo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy K. Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I didn't see the show, but sounded interesting.But I am curious about Amy Winehouse.....see her plastered all over magazines, but yet to hear her music. Is she what she is cracked up to be??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnO Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 "BTW Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings BURY Winehouse...IMO."While I like Winehouse, IMO, this is very true....but Sharon's not an exotic-looking, tattoo'd junkie White woman who's always in the tabloids (along with her idiot husband)...Sharon's over 50, Black, a bit overweight, a former Corrections Officer, and not nearly as attractive (to most, Mister Lew Bundles would be one exception) as Winehouse.....(Although Sharon did sell out The Black Cat in DC 2 last month, and positively kicked major ass live!!!!!....AND I could have scalped my ticket on the street there that night (1/17) for well over $100...it cost me $15! Incredibly electrifying singer and performer!!!.....and, as Winehouse fans are aware, her band's great!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadie #3 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Marv - He commented to Kanye West that he just got an award from a Beatle and asked him if he ever had that pleasure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marvin Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks Ernie. I would bet Vince was genuinely happy and thrilled to receive that award from Ringo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkpat Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I was greatly angered by them cutting off the "Sgt. Pepper" performance at the end. I saw a number of commericlas for the grammys all week promoting it, then because the telecast ran eight minutes too long, we got a commerical over the beginning of "Pepper" and the credits showing over a fade out of the performance. I sat there for three and a half hours, subjected to a ton of garbage like Kid Rock and Kanye West and then....that!Embarassing! Another network should be given the show over this.

Matthew C. Clark Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 They also cut off the 25th Anniversary of Michael Jackson's "Thriller" or something like that. Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannoman Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Billy K - I have to disagree with AnnieKNY - To me, Amy Winehouse does not have any special talent. I turned her off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnniekNY Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 Ah, isn't that the beauty of America - we can agree to disagree and not nuke each other, right Ted?!!I don't know - there is something very catchy about the song and her performance - well, I couldn't take my eyes off her.

That's because you were thinking, "I can't see for sure, but, is that a needle sticking out of Amy's arm?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Not sure about her music, but Alicia Keys has got all the goods. Her sex appeal makes Jessica Alba look like Church Lady.IMHO of course.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her sex appeal makes Jessica Alba look like Church Lady.IMHO of course.. WRONG, Oh, Windy City Breath...But if you like songs that start with a decent 60's/70's Mowtown keyboard riff, AND THEN REPEAT THAT SAME RIFF OVER AND OVER AND OVER THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE SONG, WHILE ALICIA DOES HER LITTLE R&B VOCAL LINES...Then Keys is your girl.

James Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 Alicia Keys' music has nothing to do with anything. She's got an intelligent/physical sex appeal that is absolutely lethal!James has spoken.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Cartmill Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 She's got the whole package. But if she didn't have the "lethal looks" (says King I'll-sleep-with-anybody-without-a-pen-- James), I'm not sure those mediocre songs would sell so well. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
