Every year it gets worse. I don't think I've ever seen a list of more mediocre talent in the top award categories. I'd rather watch Andy Griffith reruns than this garbage.

Re: the 2010 Grammy Awards Live on CBS 1/31
 

I haven't watched the Grammy Awards since Jethro Tull beat Metallica for best heavy metal album.

Re: the 2010 Grammy Awards Live on CBS 1/31

Re: the 2010 Grammy Awards Live on CBS 1/31
