Two words: Milli Vanilli.
And Thomas Dolby's "Map of the Floating City" not even being nominated for Album of the Year further proves how full of shit the Grammys are.

Right because that's the only obscure album by an 80s artist that barely sold and barely anyone's ever heard of ever to not be nominated for a Grammy. You proved it with that one.

Yes, we all agree that from the Starlight Vocal Band to "Love Will Keep Us Together" to "Don't Worry, Be Happy" to "Wind Beneath My Wings" there have been many, many horrible honorees. That doesn't change the fact that these are the music industry's highest awards and the do havve some relavence. So please, everyone, stop posting about how the Grammys get everything wrong and have since the Sixties. The 55th awards will be handed out tomorrow. Watch or don't watch. Care or don't care. Rest assured that even if your favorite artist or album goes home empty-handed, his music still has merit and value, both to you and many others. Don't feel the need to tell us yet again how much the Grammys suck because we all know. Especially about Jethro Fucking Tull.

The sad thing is that the Grammy blunder destroyed Jethro Tull's career as a result as well. They had been making a bit of a comeback in the mid-late 80s and then they won the Grammy and they haven't had a top 40 or gold album since. I doubt anyone regrets the 1988 metal Grammy more than Jethro Tull themselves considering how everyone turned on them for winning over their metal golden boys.

Taylor Swift is very young but if she wants to write a song about me shes free to do so.
Who was the guy that sang with Elton? I guess i will show my age there by not asking that in reverse

Katy Perry's boobs are the highlight of any music show these days.

Katy Perry's boobs should host the next Grammys. They are mesmerizing.
Chris Brown is such a douche. Did anyone see when Rihanna flinched earlier when he started clapping next to her? You can't make this shit up.

Who's the new young country singer who is a doppleganger for King Joffrey? I keep waiting for him to command LL Cool J to cut out Taylor Swift's tongue.

Every so often in the past few years the Grammys surprise me with an excellent choice I never saw coming. Two years ago it was Arcade Fire winning Album of the Year, this year it's Gotye winning Record of the Year over fun.'s "We Are Young". I thought "Someone That I Used To Know" was easily the best single I heard in 2012, but really thought it had no chance tonight. Delighted that I was wrong there.
BTW : When was it decided that Jay Z was going to be the George Clooney/ Jack Nicholson of the Grammys? No peformance is complete until Jay Z gives his tacit nod of approval. Sure he's been around a long time, but is he the biggest music artist on the planet? I'm not sure he's even the most successful hit maker in his own house.
