1. what's the difference

between record of the year and album of the year?

[Raffi Ella]

2. I didn't really know either, so I looked it up.

"Grammys Categories Explained: What’s the Difference Between Song, Record and Album?"

4. Record = a single. Album = a number of different singles, sold together in one unit.

Granted, the terms tend to be outmoded considering extended mixes, digital media and the sad fact that almost nobody listens to entire albums anymore.

[dawg]

38. I listen to albums. To me, they are the default unit of music.

I have various singles on my work computer for background noise, but when I'm really wanting to listen to music, I put on an album.

[itsrobert]

3. Beyounce and Jay sucked

Must be my tv. No they really sucked.

[hlthe2b]

6. I agree. If that is representative, the eternal Law & Order SUV reruns on USA network

are actually looking like a better alternative.

[nolabear]

5. I know. I'm painfully aware of being on the West Coast.

I hVe to be veeeeeery careful on the internets for the next three hours.

[LiberalElite]

7. all I care about is

the Lifetime Achievement award being given to Paul & Ringo. I hope they have them on sooner rather than later. I'm a geezer after all.

[Boomerproud]

10. that's all I care about too.

Ringo's performance was very moving. Can't wait for the Achievement award. Paul got one already w/David Groh.

35. Tune in Sunday Feb 9th...

They are devoting a whole special to them...

[LiberalElite]

36. Thanks! Ironically - when that's on TV

I'll be at The Fest for Beatles Fans' 40th Anniversary Celebration of their arrival in the U.S. 50 years ago. (The first Fest was in 1974.) I'm trying to figure out how to record it and watch later on the computer.

[Skidmore]

8. Pink rocks.

[Raffi Ella]

9. She was SO good.

I'm not a huge fan of her music but omg. she kills me with that performance. I Love her.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

18. Gotta ask....who was that guy singing with her. No offense to anyone...but he

ruined her performance to me. I kept swinging in the air "get off the stage !!"

[SoapBox]

25. Interesting...

That whole performance was one of my favorites.

[cbdo2007]

31. That was the guy from Fun. His microphone wasn't mixed properly....

cause you coudl barely hear him over the wall of noise and other distractions.

[Raffi Ella]

11. AW!

now that is powerful. damn right I support it.

[fishwax]

12. followed by a mass ceremony

[Raffi Ella]

13. I'm crying, lol.

seriously, that was beautiful.

[Behind the Aegis]

14. It even made my partner shed a tear...I was like a floodgate.

[Raffi Ella]

28. I first heard that song on the radio,

it took my breath away. Couple the song with the Wedding Ceremonies? wow. Great moment in Music/American History.

[Behind the Aegis]

34. The video STILL makes me cry every time.

My partner said...how much better can it get? Married by the Queen (Latifah) and serenaded by Madonna!

[Raffi Ella]

39. *Hug*

Yeah, how lucky were those couples?? what a story they'll have to tell.

[OriginalGeek]

15. I'm generally kind of cynical about grammy shit

But yeah - that was pretty moving and cool.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

19. Excellent. Even saw Keith Urban crying.

[Boomerproud]

16. Who exactly are the folks in the spacesuits?

WTF

[Laura PourMeADrink]

20. album of year..“Random Access Memories,” Daft Punk. Great...but others better IMHO nt

[Raffi Ella]

27. I love Daft Punk but yeah.

The album is great but it's more of the same. I think they should've given it to the Heist for 'Same Love' alone.

[Myrina]

30. Did you see Tron: Legacy?

They did the music for that film, and have been around for several years on the techno/alt scene.

[lunamagica]

17. What happened to the Lifetime Achivement Award

for Paul and Ringo?

[S_E_Fudd]

32. Getting its own show...

Tune in Sunday Feb 9th. I think the event is taking place tonight...but will be aired then

[lunamagica]

37. Oh, OK. Thanks!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

21. Great moment. Willie and Kris and Merle. Yikes they're old. time passes so fast it

seems like just yesterday going to a Willie concert when he still looked like a million and his voice pierced every wall and every being in the concert hall.

[zonkers]

22. Alright Joe Walsh got his mug on the grammys during McCarney's performance.

delayed posting. sorry.

[zonkers]

23. Is Blake Shelton just the blandest, crap house performer of all time?

If he wasn't on another CBS show... would he even be on? I aint feeling these grammys. Can't Jay Z and Beyonce just stay home and order a Pizza. Why do they have to be "all that", all the time? Farrel Williams does wear that brim with plenty of conviction. He is ridiculously talented. And Daft PUnk is the bomb.

[Raffi Ella]

29. "Can't Jay Z and Beyonce just stay home and order a Pizza."

rofl. Seriously. TMI: and then you see Beyonce later in the audience with her pretty princess smile and Jay sitting beside her all uncomfortable and defiant like "yeah we just rapped about my surfboard, what". That performance shoulda stayed private.

[SoapBox]

24. 15 minutes left of it, here on the Left Coast.

I actually don't even have time for music (partner still knows who these people are) but there were some spectacular performances.

wow.

[kelliekat44]

26. Oh, for the days when REAL musicians, wrote and played REAL music on REAL instruments and

"artists" had REAL talent. At least Taylor Swift didn't win....that's a relief.

[S_E_Fudd]

33. Have to admit...

Not a Taylor Swift fan...probably too old...but that performance last night was really very good...her music seems to be maturing...
