Must suck for every artist at an awards show to have their asses consistently handed to them by the two Idol queens. So sad that nobody else can ever stay on par with them. Kelly and Carrie were both truly magnificent. Not a single flaw in either one of those performances. Kelly's performance brought so much nostalgia from her Idol days and Carrie's brought so much positive attraction from her dress (loved the butterfly effect at the very end). Everything about their performances was amazing. I'd actually put Rihanna's "Stay" third, which is something I never envisioned myself to say.

Overrall a lackluster award show. Taylor's opening performance was the only descent thing about this show. Predictable ROTY win for Gotye.Taylor's dancing to every song was also nice.Otherwise,a very forgettable award show.I think the ratings are going to much lower than last years.

I would post my full review of the Grammys here, but some of it might violate the Pulse rules about trolling and baiting (and possibly the Proboards TOS). It's a bit long. Here it is: sweetmuzik.blogspot.com/2013/02/my-thoughts-on-2013-grammys.htmlOverall, I thought the performances were good, but it didn't feel like an awards ceremony with so few awards being presented.

Taylor Swift opening the show and Mumford & Sons winning AOTY. Lol. And people often dare to compare Grammys to Oscars. Credibility of Grammys is on the same level as script of Snooki & JWoww MTV show.

So Carrie Underwood was seated next to Chris Brown and Rihanna. Considering Carrie sang a song about a girl getting revenge on an abusive father, I wonder if there was some awkwardness.

I liked Taylor' Swifts opening performance. She sang live during the verses and seemed to lip during the chorus.
LL Cool J likes himself, doesn't he? He talked and talked and talked about himself. They need a new host next year.
Elton John sounded *horrible* with Ed Sheeran. His voice is gone which is why I will not go see him in concert.
Miranda and Dierks did not sound good at all. They are usually good so maybe their was an audio problem?
I wish the performers had not performed so many over-played songs on the radio.
Poor Frank Ocean. His acceptance speech was "eh" and his performance was boring.
Alicia Keys was excellent. I don't like Marron 5's Daylight song.
I was shocked at how good Rihanna's vocals were! Wow.
I'm tired of that Bruno Mars song. Tired of all the jumping, but I liked Sting.
Carrie Underwood deserved her standing ovation.
So glad Gotye won. He should have thanked the video director.
Elton Johhn sounded a lot better during his 2nd performance. Mavis Staples stole the show. I also liked the Alabama Shakes woman singer.
Juanes was good, but I'm so tired of "Your Song."
I agree with "Star" boy. The Grammys definitely needs more awards next year. I like acceptance speeches.

I didn't watch all of it but here's what I did see.
Kelly Clarkson, Adele, Katy Perry, Carrie Underwood, Beyonce', and Miranda Lambert looking gorgeous.
Kelly Clarkson giving a flawless performance & winning best pop album as she should.
LL Cool J's performance at the end which was cool.
Some R&B guy's performance, I think it was Frank Ocean. He's talented but that performance was very weird.
Mumford And Sons. DNW.

Alicia/Maroon 5 was my best performance of the night.
Welcome back Justin, but i still don't buy this whole throwback era he's trying to pull.
Can Rihanna stop thinking she's a singer just because she can hit some note for like 5 seconds. Otherwise, she looked fabulous.
I was shocked at Kelly's pop win, but, good job for her. Her performance was nice, although I stick to my stance that she just does not have the raw tone to do any type of soul the way Aretha does Natural Woman. Even Adele had that look, like, bitch, I could do that better. One thing that bugged me is that this bitch needs to take some etiquette classes or something. Bumping into people, making silly speeches, fumbling names of artists when she presented - I could have sworn she was the same age as Taylor, cause she was behaving exactly like a teenager. Whereas on the other hand, Carrie Underwood was the EPITOME of class and grace when she performed and when she gave her acceptance speech.
The Bob Marley tribute was really entertaining - I love how Bruno is the go to guy for tributes.
Kelly Rowland out-fierced Beyonce in her outfit. And I'm sorry, but J.Lo's dress did not follow any type of memo. I didn't like what she was wearing, the hairdo - the whole ensemble was not working for me.
Did Ellen call Beyonce "Christina." That pairing was SO ODD to me.
The opening speech by L.L. was so boring and stupid.
Frank Ocean's set was BOOOOORING, but I give him credit for singing that song at the Grammy's. Powerful statement.
Can Miguel get a budget, please? At least give him 5 minutes with the stage crew so they can give him some cool lighting effects. Weird, random performance he gave. It looked so last minute.
Chris Brown had doodoo face the entire night, and especially after not winning his grammy, and then his lady thing getting two performances! Sit down, boy!!!!
I had no idea Mumford & Sons was British!!
The show always suffers with flow, but, whatever, I can sit through it and still be slightly entertained. And boring numbers like Miranda Lambert and Jack White, give me opportunities to get up and get some quick errands done around the house.

I don't really get the etiquette thing...people often have quick chats with stars on their way up to the podium, and anyone can mess up an artist/movie/title name on the spot speaking live, which nearly every music, television, and movie star absolutely hates doing because it's not at all in their comfort zone (Meryl Streep mispronounced Volver during an acceptance speech a few years back...I suppose she should take the same classes as Kelly?). I don't know what was more or less classy about the actual performances between Kelly and Carrie (both stood there and sang perfectly), but they have different personalities, and I'll take a Kelly-type acceptance speech over a Carrie-type one every time.

Not everyone has to be the same when doing something, Dizzy. Kelly was obviously excited that she won, and she was aroused previously from Miguel & Wiz's performance. Carrie was her natural self, while Kelly was her natural self. Now, if Kelly was like Carrie, then something would be wrong lol

I mean, I get it....but really, that was the sexiest thing she's seen? Please.
Joking or not......it was just, dumb. And then her final words to be, again, "I didn't think I would win" or whatever...
It's like ugh...woman, grow up. You've been sung your praises since winning Idol. No one is mistaking you for Adele, okay? Stop with trying to smash our faces with humble pie.

Ratings were down, obviously, but still huge - 10.0 in the 18-49 and 28 million viewers. That's up from 2011, the last non-Whitney and Adele show.

Kelly's been serving humble pie since Adele was still writing her songs in school so. And she wasn't favored by anyone to win that award. But, unless it's about Drag Race, I never agree with you anyway so let's carry on!

I thought her Miguel comment was a bit tactless. I know she didn't mean any harm, but still.

Kelly is not a stranger to that award, she won the same thing in 2006 - back when she first came out. Anyway, I'm not here to trash on Kelly - she was just one of the low-lights for me last night. And girl, Drag Race is on tonight........ see you in the interior illusions lounge, hunty!

I love how the only negative criticism I could find about Kelly are trivial and nitpick remarks. She's not always perfect and I'm happy, for one, to know I don't stan for a robot.
