Who thinks Jagger has to give it up. Lots of energy left on him but he cannot sing anymore.

Who is going to tell him :bad:.

Here he is.

I was impressed by Jagger, you could tell he was strongly influenced by Solomon Burke in his tribute. I thought Dylan was pretty good as well making "Maggie's Farm" a real rocker.
 
I can't find a working link for the Jagger performance anywhere on the net. Bummers I missed it and wanted to see it.:grrrrrr:
 
The Walking Dead was back with what was finally a decent espisdoe. Couldn't care less about award shows.
 
I watched most of the Grammys. I appreciate music and talent and the big production they make out of it, even if it's not my type of music.
but since I'm a rocker, I was especially impressed with Lady Gaga singing with Metallica, but they Royally messed that up. First they introduced Gaga, no mention of Metallica, then the mic that didn't work. And he didn't know it didn't work. Metallica fans are quite upset.
ruined the highlight of the show for me.
mostly it was good.
Cee lol is now CLO2 or CL2O ?
 
Apparently these were the first Grammy's based solely on streaming versus whatever formula they used before. I don't have cable so I don't watch any TV unless it's an Apple TV or Netflix.

I did see Chance the Rapper won a Grammy. If you're not familiar with the guy, he's created a career for himself & is very successful but never signed to a label (as in any label). I am a huge music fan, but I don't listen to traditional radio or buy CD's (streaming mostly & I buy some songs). The whole show seems very "1980s" to me.
 


There will be hell to pay for the mic malfunction on James Hetfield. Gaga rocked it!!
 
The overwhelming consensus since Sunday night is that Beyonce was robbed at the Grammys. But according to legendary guitarist Carlos Santana, Queen Bey deserved the surprising upset that saw Adele’s “25” beat Beyonce’s “Lemonade” to win Album of the Year. Santana, weighing in on the matter this week, for some reason, declared about Adele that “she can sing,” while Beyonce, he says, is “not a singer.”

“I think that Adele won because she can sing, sing,” Santana told the Australian Associated Press, via the New Zealand Herald.

He added, “With all respect to our sister Beyonce, Beyonce is very beautiful to look at and it’s more like modelling kind of music – music to model a dress – she’s not a singer, singer, with all respect to her.”

Santana and Beyonce performed together at the pre-game festivities before the Super Bowl in 2003...

... “Adele can sing, sing. She doesn’t bring all the dancers and props, she can just stand there and she just stood there and sang the song and that’s it, and this is why she wins,” Santana said.

I've never really liked Beyonce (outside of the odd song). Her music was trite pop, too often cliche and required high priced producers. And her Youtube streams showed far fewer people cared than what FM radio believed. Then I heard Lemonade on Beats 1 (Apple Music). Gone was the pop diva..replaced by a singer who had finally embraced her black roots (versus stealing their samples for her own fame). It's a good record.

And proof of that is that Pop radio barely touched the record. Hit music radio seems to be drawn to brand names even if the music sucks. That's why you'll hear Lady Gaga's new cut before you'll hear Dua Lipa's new song (go see their Spotify streams as a comparison). Beyonce created a record worthy of "black culture" something she really hasn't did before.

As for Adele she is a brilliant singer with a great voice, but 25 wasn't anything "different". Personally I think her first song "Chasing Pavements" released in 2008 was her best cut. The song exploded in England but barely made any impact here.

But we did the same thing to Ed Sheeran. A-Team was a monster hit in Europe. The video for the song is also a great reflection of the desperation of sex work & drug addiction. Sadly, the "North American" video was reworked. The original .
