Adele's only 20? She looks much older than that. You did see the "apart from the odd bone" bit? If we add up Duffy, Adele and a few other performers ages we might eventually reach Plants age. The Grammys need to recognise what the driving force behind world music is, pop music is a multi million dollar entertainment industry. Without its infrastructure these minorities could not exist, yet they try and force their views on the public and act like their paymasters don't exist. I hope next year the pop acts boycott the show and refuse to perform, its high time these old farts were taught a lesson.

I'm glad with the results. Adele winning over Leona was a nice surprise, as was Duffy winning over The Eagles. The only surprise about the Plant/Krauss collabo was that they beat Coldplay for Record of the Year, but I guess the plagiarism scandal hit them too hard. I don't think it was the plagarism thing - they won Song of the Year for songwriting for the song they they "plagarized". I think after the last 4-5 years, I'd like to see next year's awards be completely spread out and see no one sweep (Plant/Krauss, Amy, Dixie, U2, Ray).

This is the first time I've heard the Jonas Bros.- they are good and play their own instruments- i'm not sure I see the reason for all the hate for them. I'm never seen that Taylor Swift girl either- she did great- I'm assuming that was her singing with Miley- who is not great a singer- but they did well together. Taylor and Miley's performance is quite enjoyable

Alison Krauss now has 26 Grammy awards. I believe she just took the record from Stevie this year, right?

JT and TI, JT and Al Green, The four tops tribute, Carrie, were the best IMHO. Alison and Robert might have won alot of grammys, but IMO, their performance was really lacking. The Miley and Taylor show was just that, a show. Coldplay was good enough. The rap party Lil Wayne, Kanye and the rest was a mess, along with the very pregnant MIA> Jennifer Hudson was very good and her acceptance speech was even better. Katy Perry looked like Britney at the MTV awards awhile back, was she dancing or was she , I don't know. Jennifer Nettles sang that awful song "stay" very well. Yes, you can sing an awful song very well. Adele proved why she won BNA, although I thought the award was Duffy's to lose.

Adele hasn't even had a number 1 in the UK ffs! I like her but seriously...
It's like the Grammys purposely snub big selling acts in the pop categories..
Either that, or they just hate Leona for no reason. First they snub her in BNA category, then disregard her as a performer by not asking her to perform, then ask her to present but then don't let her, then snub her in all 3 categories she's in, then give awards to every British female except her.
How can you hate someone like Leona? Grammys = sh*te.

The voters submit their votes to Diane Theriot, the head of awards. It's not a jury where they all sit around a table and arrive at some consensus that they're going to "force they views on the public" and disrespect younger recording artists. It's the total tally of everyone's votes.

The only surprise about the Plant/Krauss collabo was that they beat Coldplay for Record of the Year, but I guess the plagiarism scandal hit them too hard. You're avatar makes you looks so pathetic it's unreal. Hating on a 23 year old girl's looks. Get grip, seriously. How old are you?

Don't pretend she's some fragile child who must be shielded from all criticism. I wasn't trying to make her look like a fragile child. I just usually refer to people around that age as girls as they're still very young. I'll say woman if it makes you feel better.

I also agree that a spread would be nice to see at some point. Unlikely. When the Grammys give someone one major award, they give them all. I love the rule that "If U2 is ever nominated for anything, they MUST win every one" The Grammys telecast has become unbelievably predictable and simply tiring. Though I don't agree with the dumbasses on here who think that Grammys should be given to the best selling artists -- that's what the Billboard Awards are for.

Don't you mean the Billboard awards? The AMAs are based on popularity with a public vote, which isn't quite the same thing (i.e. Rihanna being probably more "popular" than Alicia Keys but moving less albums).

Happy for Coldplay! It's just a shame they didn't get ROTY and AOTY. Oh, and blink-182's return is still a dream for me! They are already writing and recording a new album.

If we can refrain from tacky inappropriate jokes like this during it, that would be great. Domestic battery is not a light subject and I think it is one time we should all try to give respect to all parties involved.

This is the first time I've heard the Jonas Bros.- they are good and play their own instruments- i'm not sure I see the reason for all the hate for them. I'm never seen that Taylor Swift girl either- she did great- I'm assuming that was her singing with Miley- who is not great a singer- but they did well together. Taylor and Miley's performance is quite enjoyable I thought it was good too, and I'm not even a huge fan of either. Yay for Ne-Yo winning 2 awards!! The Four Tops tribute was my favorite performance. I also liked Estelle and Kanye's performance. It was simple and fun.

Grammys are bullshit for giving that troll Adele the Grammy for BNA!
Jonas Brothers were ROBBED! At least that fat heffa acknowledged she wants to fuck the JoBros, like everyone else does!
And what was up with Plant treating Krauss like a puppet? WHY COULDN'T SHE SPEAK TIL THE END? Did she not suck enough grammy dick to be able to speak words, so she could only just win the awards?
Stevie Wonder must have been crying behind those glasses knowing he got to sing with the fucking JONAS BROTHERS!
