1. I made it through more than I thought I would.

2. Why won't Kid Rock go away? Despicable.

3. While the atrociously cloying Katy Perry was singing that song of hers, I had the knee-jerk reaction of disliking the fact that she was very obviously singing with a vocal backing track on the chorus. Even though I don't really care about that sort of thing.

4. Immediately after Ms. Perry, Estelle and Kanye West were even more obviously using a backing track, and yet their performance crackled with intensity. Go figure.

5. It would have been so awesome if M.I.A.'s water broke. Even more awesome than her polka-dot maternikini.

6. If Paul McCartney is trying to make me stop liking The Beatles, then at least he's doing something well.

7. Krauss and Plant, God love 'em, the only nominees that could make Coldplay seem edgy--so of course they won. T-Bone's guitar sounded awesome, though, and their performance was quite good. (And Plant gave Nashville a nice little mention.)

8. Did John Mayer know he was supposed to be playing "Hey Bo Diddley"?

I was in the bathroom or something when Kings of Leon won. Did they say anything stupid?

Kings of Leon won their award at the Pre-telecast Grammy show, (you know the little one that nobody watches and isn't ever really aired except for online). And they didn't say anything stupid... infact they weren't there to pick up the award. lol. The room was about half-full, and the only major Star that won and actually picked up her award was Carrie Underwood. So no, you didn't miss a thing.

I made it through more than I thought I would, as well.
Still - Coldplay? Kid Rock?
Is it bad that I thought the Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus song was kind of well done? Even though I despise both of them? They made me kind of proud of Nashville.

Yes, thinking that is bad.

Matt S. -
Donning hairshirt as we speak.
I know. I am repentant.

It could've been worse. You could've liked the U2 performance.

Even Gold lost his U2 boner for a minute after that one.

As soon as Bono took his glasses off, all I wanted was for him to put them back on.
Am I alone in thinking Thom Yorke was vaguely attractive last night?

Maybe!
Kinda felt like a Mia Michaels piece on So You Think You Can Dance.

I thought Thom Yorke looked a little like Axl Rose.
