This year's Grammy awards are packed with Black. I'm wondering if any White people made music this year.
Anyway, stick with me during the show, and keep hitting "refresh" as I continually update this post with Grammy goodness.
8:07 Madonna and the Gorillaz opened the show. Can I confess? I have a Big Daddy Kane-stye crush on Madonna. Them legs, them legs! What is she, like 40? I don't care, man. 
She still has it.
Who's that rapping? 
Oh, De La Soul. (Stop frontin- it took you a minute to recognize them too)
8:12 Wow. Kelly Clarkson wins for Best Female Vocalist. She's so sincerly surprised to have won, even though she probably is the best pure singer of the bunch. Just because of her humble tears she deserved to win that award.
8:26 John Legend, John Legend. I had to say his name twice because this is probably the last time we'll see him during the show. His nominated for 8 but someone will have him in every category.
What's with Legend's hair? Looks like he rubbed too much Dax up in it. The glisten is twinkling right through my HDTV.
8:30 Sugarland? Who's that?
8:31 Country music bathroom break...
8:45 Mary J and Bono killed it. This legitimizes Mary on the whole cross-over tip. She's bigger than these new jack R&B chicks
8:46 Kanye West doesn't look happy even though he won best Rap Solo Performance
8:50 Kanye is such a clown. I won't even explain why.
8:57 OK, while Clarkson is singiing, I'll explain why Kanye is a doof. He's trying to upstage the show with his own antics and corny jokes. It would be better if he played the classy role.
9:19 Well, I was wrong about Legend. The Black Eyed Peas presented John Legend with the Best Male R&B Vocal Performance.
9:30 Mariah Carey seemed almost bored to be singing We Belong Together for the 17th time on an awards show. I would have loved to see the Shake It Off Remix as the second song. Young Jeezy would have been better that that cliche choir she brought along.
9:41 Country music bathroom break...
9:56 Dave Chappelle in a suit?? He makes fun of himself, explaining that even as a child he predicted he would climb to the top of the socio-economic ladder (he was a smart child), make it as a star, and go back to Africa.
10:06 OK, here's the Tribute to Sly Stone.
Who's that next to Adam Levine? Ciarra? No really...who's that grown and sexy woman next to the Marron 5 guy? Ciarra?? Say word.
Will.i.am is churching it with the dancing. Why do I hate him again?
Sly Stone is a legend or something, so I won't make any comments about how he looks like a grandfather cockatoo.
10:19 Jay-Z is on with Linkin Park doing their Collison Course material and they bring out Paul McCartney to sing "Yesterday" (I love that song!). This is the best performance so far. The songs speak for themselves, and the performers know they don't have to stunt to make their moment special.
10:31 The Destiny's Child girls women presented the Song of the Year Award to U2.
10:45 Kanye West and Jamie Foxx are performing Gold Digger dressed as two competing marching bands. It's exciting and splashy, just as 'Ye promised. The best part though has to be the old man covering his ears in anticipation of the symbol player's bang, and Jamie cracking up right in the middle of the song.
11:08 Chuck D and Common put the G.O.O.D. Music spirit on the evenlope and announced John Legend as the Best New Artist. That's two for Legend, and I'm wrong again.
11:10 Is Queen Latifah wearing a girdle over her clothing? Nevermind. R.I.P. to Richard Pryor.
11:20 U2 won for Album of the Year (I need to listen to that joint. I loved all the singles). Kanye was caught on camera praying for his award for a second year in a row. His mistake was praying - I'm sure God himself took away the award just to humble dude.
11:30 Aight, I'm done.
Kanye is a fool
yes he is^^^
What the hell does Kanye have on? Damn, that nigga's a clown.
nice to see de la soul.
i hope curtis cockson doesn't when anything. go common, mr. legend, kanye, u know the cats that deserve it.
Damn, Joss Stone can't sing. Who the hell is that singin with Fantasia? Ciara sounds horrible.
kanye is a clown aka a fuckin fag, as i said earlier
Loved Kanye's performance. It was just what I needed to keep me awake.
Sly Stone walked off stage in the middle of his tribute...but the man's influence on Hip Hop is preety big. He's been sampled by Ice Cube, the Jungle Brothers (Got it like that) and countless other artists.
I loved seeing my alma mater, Florida A&M representing with Kanye and Jamie....Marching 100!
Kanye is pissed he didn't win best album of the year .. U2's old asses won it. I'm sick of them. What the hell is up with kanyes tacky ass micheal jackson gloves . His suit is tacky as hell.
I can't believe I'm the only one that had a problem with Jay ad-libbing 'Yesterday' with Paul McCartney. Who's artistic vision produced that bullshit? And what did that have to do with the montage of civil rights images in the background? They were singing 'Yesterday' not 'Imagine' or even 'We Can Work it Out'. Even if I could extend my disbelief and accept that the song is a loose metaphor for history (which I cant) it still was a wack performance. Jay turns every cultural symbol worth smthg meaningful into commercialized, soulless garbage! Et tu Paul?!
where there any memorial segments for the rockstars that passed away in 2005??
Chappelle's so funny I even laughed my ass of at your version of the joke!
whats goin on people? nm here, I luv kanyes music but that dude is weird,he is also smart because the way he is getting attention is different than other rappers, dissin each other shit, thats so '90s. what ya'll think about him not winning the album of the year?

First off Mary and U2 killed it. Stop being closed minded people. Good music is good music. Kanye and Jamie did a good job too. Congrats to John Legend reppin for REAL R&B. Whoever said Ciara sounded horrible I second that. Chapelle came out and livened things up. The Sly tribute was actually pretty good. I have to say this is the best Grammy's I've seen in awhile.
Are you People for Real. Talking about Kanye's Clothes on an Award show. Shit Most you dress tacky and youur just going to school or work. I mean his album is almost triple platinum, he has killer stage show, he use the Press to his advantage. And thats all you could up with. Please people stop the hate and do something with your lives instead worring about what the person doing or not doing.
did anyone see any posthumous reckognitions given out during the show?? film segments or stuff like that??
Damn.....the grammys have no clue !!! 50 didn't get shit, and Kanye didn't really win shit. They gave that nigga some shit cause he cries all the time. He actually is good grammy hype and don't even no it !!! Fuck the Grammys !!!! Still listening to Still not rich, Still Tryin.......hahahaha !!!!
Kanye, and I got love for the boy, didn't deserve to win Album of the year, because it depends on everybody's vote. If this was a black organization, Kanye or Mariah could've had it, but Green Day sold the most albums of last year, it was undeniable. As for Dave, I didn't see the awards show, but we as black people need him to bring back the Chapelle show. Dave - don't let the inside people give you irreconciable differences, you know you needed to run that shit. Kelly Clarkson - youz a fine ass bitch, enough said. Mariah - she's washed up with the concert performances, the people got her singing everywhere and she's gonna retire before we know it, but give mad props to her for coming back and running shit in the R & B mix. John Legend/Alicia Keys - recommended as the best piano players and singers of our time right now, big props. Peace.
The Truth shut the fuck up you're hatin on us for hatin on KANYES TACKY ASS 80'z suit. No1 was talkin about his talents as a performer.
just like I predicted,the three most nominated artists(8 nominations each) who happens to be all black win only 3 awards each--Mariah,John Legend,and Kanye...and U2 wins five for an album that wasnt all that good..but being that the R&B/Hip Hop voters split the votes for the three most noominated artists, which subsequently canceled out each other and therefore u2 was left with the majority of the votes...which is why they won...worst performance of the night..has to be your gurl MC..tired of hearing that song, and she didnt put in any effort...Kanye always has to prove that he's better and more flashier than anyone else..but acted a damn fool...and Kelly Clarkson deserved a standing ovation for her song...that MJB and U2 duet was very bad...I dont know I just feel like Mary is hardly ever on key..but maybe some people like that...Ciara did look like a grown ass woman and and sung ok..wasnt as bad as I thought it would be...I think MC thought she was going to join Norah JOnes,Beyonce,Lauryn Hill,and Alicia with most grammy's won in a single night but towards the end you could tell she was alittle disappointed......nobody broke records..but I was glad to see Kelly Clarkson win 2, being that her album might be the best of 2005
I dont listen to Kanye's music. But He's a character. Put out an endless amounts of excellent beats, and not afraid TO DO HIM. So stop hating on mother fuckers that real artists. Hate on them fake ass gangsters or those Nursery Rhyme Units.
the white girls did their thang, kelly, Mariah and Christina...but MAry and Ciarra was just embarassing...MAry i love her but...ciarra should never have been up there she is no doubt a beauty but was the worst...i watched it from beginning to end and despite the gremlin look of sly i was impressed not a bad ceremony
Welp..After watching the grammy's..recording the grammy's..i would say...
BEST PERFORMANCES: Gorillaz and Madonna
Coldplay, Kanye and Jamie, John Legend, Mariah, Linkin Park and Jay-Z
BEST MOMENTS: Opening performance, Kelly Clarkson and John Legends acceptance speeches, Linkin Park, JayZ, and JOHN MCCARTNEY!! Mariah performing 'Fly Away' (ive been waiting for her to do that), my mother wanting to borrow my John Legend cd after watching him, U2 getting THAT many for an old album
DISAPPOINTMENTS: the top three not getting many awards (Kanye, Mariah, Legend)...they got a couple each i believe, they didnt show enough awards been given out...like 80% or more were given out before the show, Common didnt win i believe, and U2 getting THAT many for an old album
THEY SNUBBED COMMON MAN...HE DESERVED THAT ONE. BUT IS IT ME OR DOES DAVE EVEN IN THE SUIT LOOK LIKE HE JUST CAME FROM THE CRACK ALLEY???? awwwww SHUCKS WE DON'T CARE IF HE SMOKES CRACK THAT MUTHA FUCKERS FUNNY!!
THIS BLOG SUCKS GET A LIFE
StillThuggin your a clown because you still have a suit like that in your closet ,but you moms bought for you when you were in the 4th grade. StillThuggin that sound like a nigga that lives in the basement of his mom's house and your 28 with no job or no car. Get of Kanye's Dick
Well I missed the Grammy's and by the sounds of it, I didn't miss much.
First off, dude who said 50 didn't win shit...looks like the white boys are catching on about 50's skills, or lack there of...I'm glad that mouthpiece got shutout...
Secondly, Kayne shouldn't have won Best Album. I'm glad he didn't. College Drop-out killed his new album...
Third, Who cares what I have to say. Why are you wasting your time reading my opinion? Get a job, and if you have one, get a life.
Sorry, but I thought Mary did not sound very good last night (I can't stand it when she just screams- ick). Mariah blew the stage up with the choir- that was awesome (I used to be a Mariah hater, now even I have to give her her props). Speaking of props, people need to give it up for American Idol, because last night the show proved it produces legit talent (Kelly won 2 grammys for a GREAT record and Fantasia was up on the stage performing in the Sly and the Family Stone tribute). I loved the Gorrilaz/De La Soul/Madonna performance. I tivoed the rest of the show, so I'll have to check out Kanye and Jamie. I saw about half of the show last night, and from what I saw, most of it was pretty great. The best Grammy's in a long while (and I only saw half of the show).
FAMU definitely made the Kanye West and Jamie performance. Living in Tallahassee that's the only reason I watched to support the Marching 100. Hats off to you all and excellent job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As I said before in the OTHER grammy blog....
I really wanted to watch the Grammys.
But I got my hands on some banging trees, and needless to say I got high...
Then as I was driving(smoking) I said to myself "oh shit Im going to miss the Grammys", unfortunately the blunt was still lit, and yall know how hard it is to put a blunt out when you're by yourself, cuz you aint being bothered by nobody, except for a few cops that drove by me and got me a little paranoid.
However one hit led to another and I got Fucked Up. So I starded convincing myself that the show was gonna suck, besides I knew Sohh would have at least 3 blogs on the grammys, and I'd rather take my Work-time off than my Smoke-time to talk about the Grammys.
I just felt the need to share this with yall. If yall excuse me I gotta get to work...
I tried to watch that bullshish, but every time I flipped to it from American Id... I mean the Bulls game, there was a gay ass preformance on. I didnt see a lot of awards won and missed Chappelle. I did however catch the tail end of Kanye's performance, and I must say that while he tore up the stage, his outfit was...
WAIT! Before you label me a hater, you should know that I am def a fan. I actually bought the first album from a store(somethin I havent done in years). I am from the Chi! And I feel ya'll on the whole "man shouldn't judge another man's clothes" like Camron did (no homo). But that shit was over-the-top, too-close-to-the-border fruity!
This nigga comin out with a clothing line called "Pastelle"! I hope that lavender suit wasn't from the Summer collection!
All this hatin is makin me thirsty! Pass me a orange Haterade!
"Now if I don't like it, I don't like it! That don't mean that I'm hatin!"
-Common
the old man covering his ears.....was clive davis!!
who is big gipp
ppl are sayin its ENGLAND REP
Kanye West is a fucking arrogant bitch. I liked to see that chipmunk looking faggot and beat his ass.
I'm sooo glad Kanye didn't win "album of the year". Dude talked all that sh*t and then lost. And he looked like a straight fool prayin' for that award on live TV (lol).
First off, that Jay-Z/Linkin Park shit was GARBAGE!!!!!GARBAGE!!!!!GARBAGE!!!!!
Can't FUCKIN stand Linkin Park!!!!
GARBAGE!!!!!
Madonna, still fuck. Even my girl mentioned how proper her legs were lookin.
Mary J and U2, WOW. I had already heard them do it once, but damn.
Mariah, the choir killed it.
Sly Stone......jesus.
I too would like to know who that dude was singin with Fantasia. She's can sang her ass off though.
Ciara.......we GET IT. You want us all to believe you DON'T have a pee pee. The bigger issue is YOU CAN'T SING.
My actual favorite performance of the night was THE BOSS, Bruce Springsteen. Yeah I SAID IT. So simple, so honest, no flash or flair.
And to all those hatin on Kanye, his suit was custom Yves Saint Laurent. I thought he and Foxx looked real pimpish. And the gloves was some fly shit. If you can't pull it off, don't hate on the next nigga who can.
And finally, fuck Christina Have-no-Haira and her non-Ella Fitzgerald ass.
big gipp probably is england rep
The grammys are soooo cool!
No one else thinks it's funny they gave the award to Jay Z and linkin park for the same song Kayne produced, but now all of the sudden you take away Kanye's production and replace it with these dudes and you got a grammy???? And it's not like Ye can get mad cuz Hov's his boss....
Is it me or was everyone really watching American Idol????????????????????????????????????
I didnt catch most of the show. But i did see Christina Aguilera's performance. I WASTE OF TWO MINUTES Of my life i will never get back.
1)That song was long..she had not harmony or melody just keep on wavering her voice up and down thinkin she sounds good cos the piano player kept smilin at her. He was most likely intranced by her chest
2) HER hair ..or lack thereof is evident. The weave she used didnt even look like real hair. i aint tryin to see that gurl wit no make up off - can u say crpyt keeper
3)The gurl can blow but aint got no melody.
im out
Mary's performance was hot. She knows how to tear the house down. She got strong vocals. Those bitches who dissed her singing a hating bitches who can't hold a note themselves. How dare they diss the Queen. Pay homage, bow down and suck.
Ciara can't sing worth a fuck...Common got robbed 4 rap ablum of the year
Ciara can't sing worth a fuck...Common got robbed 4 rap ablum of the year
Who the fuck is big gipp with this big ass statement about masterbating? Homeboy, you don't bring that shit reprimandedly onto a blog that's talking about Grammy's. Guess he did that shit while he was watching the shit. What tha fuck?
Anyway, this message is to dude. Go to this website called pure romance, wait-you jaggers ain't got no bitch to suck ya shit. If ya had a bitch ta do that shit for ya, I mean y'all. I don't know why I'm wasting this blog talking about jaggers. Niggaz, get a bitch, so she can do that shit for y'all everyday, if that's y'all position. Stay in ya muhfuckin' lane when you talking about that shit. It's embarassing to see muhfuckaz talking about that shit, like it's funny. Peace.
