It was okay... I missed the Police, that was the group I wanted to see. I was happy for the Dixie chicks but they wanted to gloat a little more than they actually did. It tried to come out but they just needed to accept the awards and just say thank you. We know the story they just needed to bow out gracefully and leave it at that. Wanna bet they don't go there again? I was happy for Mary J. she does need to lose those tattoos tho' personal opinion. John Legend was okay the song he sang didn't showcase him, John Mayer was excellent. I didn't know the Bailey woman though, she can sing. I was quite shocked at Gnarls Barkley though I didn't picture him to look the way he does. I don't know, but I pictured him slimmer, light-skinned with dreads for some reason. He has a unique voice. I knew Carrie Underwood was gonna get best new artist... I know there are some sour apples out there tho. She is okay but blond white woman singing about Jesus will get them everytime. I like the contest they had to give an unknown a shot at singing with a star but for someone that had her chance on national t.v. she did alright. She didn't wuss out , I was proud of her. Ludicris was definitely trying to be funny when he did a shout out to Oprah and I forgot the other person's name. I didn't know it was him that did the runaway song.
When they did the tribute to the entertainers that passed I was taken aback by Gerald Levert and almost welled up when they showed James Brown. The only problem that I had was they had Christina Aguilara sing "It's a man's world." Don't get me wrong she did a good job but she would not have been able to sing it like that had it not been for her black mentors. I think someone black should have sung it. They weren't in there in the day. I don't like whites in something that is clearly historically black. Maybe I am old school but that is just my opinion.

I understand what you mean in reference to Christina, but she can SANG, while many black artists straight up SUCK, especially male artists. Chris Brown came close to dancing like JB, but he can't sing a lick. That's why he was mainly dancing and not singing when he did "Run It."
I know the Dixie Chicks wanted to go off on those country radio stations. However, I bet those radio stations still clowned them, but the Chicks got the last laugh. "Radio? We don't need no stinking radio!"
John Mayer and Corinne Bailey Rae were good. Didn't hear John Legend's part.
Seabiscuit (Beyonce) was okay too. That dress she had on was awful.
Mary J. did a great job on stage, but her acceptance speech was too darn long.
Nice to see The Police back together.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers were good too.
That Robin chick who sang with Justin was okay...nothing special. Justin on the other hand rocked on "What Goes Around..."
Last night was the first time I watched the entire show.

Yeah I about feel asleep trying to stay until the end. Seabisquit you ain't right... I didn't see Beyonce sing. I think that was Mary J's first time up there so she had to get everybody. As for Chris you can't dance that hard AND sing. He did have enough dancers to do it for him tho'. Yeah, Timberlake did alright... did he win anything? I am going to check the website. I am gonna periodically check YouTube for the Police on the Grammys. Did you notice that Prince had a thank you commerical for the Superbowl?

No, I didn't know about Prince and the commercial.
Seabiscuit sang EARLY in the show (probably as compensation for her song "Listen," which she sang, wasn't nominated)
Justin didn't win jack.
