In my view part of what made the show worth while for me this year was the absence of so much Rap. What little there was was tolerable.

I haven't watched it in many moons but there were some nice moments last night Rhapsody in blue twin piano number for one.

Though Tina Turner had put on a bit of weight she did her thing in fine fashion. Hard to believe she's been retired for almost seven years.
Don't know if it's true but it was mentioned that Beyoncé was wore out but Tina didn't brake a sweat. Girlfriend is a 67 year old bomb shell..

Sad to see Jerry Lee Lewis not able to perform like he use to. But it was decent that he was given the chance to remind us all of his contribution.

The return of the Morris Day and the "Time" That was fun.......

It was nice to see Aretha had lost some weight but she has a long road ahead of her. I wish her well on her quest. It would be difficult to take if we lost her.

Herbie Hancock's award for best contemporary Jazz album was a highlight for me. Being a avid jazz listener i was happy to see jazz get the recognition it deserves. Can you believe this guy is 67 years old??? http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/a...160007/0/ENT04

"It's been 43 years since the first and only time that a jazz artist got an album of the year award," he said, referring to 1964's "Getz/Gilberto," an album released by the American saxophonist Stan Getz and Brazilian guitarist Joao Gilberto.

Well; there were other highlights to make a note of with the second pass. The wife hasn't seen it so we'll check it out later.
Kanye took Vince Gill's comment as a good sport.

The Grammy's have never been a platform for Rap music.

Rhapsody in Blue was by far the best musical piece of the night.

Been a fan of Herbie Hancock since listening to my dads LP of Herbie's "Headhunter"

The Time.... timeless, and apparantely ageless. Bring back the Minneapolis sound!

For goodness sakes, Aretha... push back from the table!
