Lorde performing Royals at the Grammys

Same Love -- Getting Married at the Grammys

No, no... I think that Macklemore song is awesome in its power.
I meant the whole 30 couples getting married thing with Madonna wailing the background... THAT part was cringe-worthy.
Ever see Scrooged? There's a scene where slimeball TV executive Bill Murray is describing the Christmas ratings-grab stunt where the Pope will bless the entire Zulu nation. The Grammies' stunt seemed like such a similar calculated stunt... more about ratings than a genuine intent to make a statement.

One year ago, this song was revolutionary and bold and daring. Now, it is cheesy.

Daft Punk, Pharrell Williams & Stevie Wonder - Get Lucky

ChaosEngine says...

For a while I thought those two non-robots on bass and drums were Daft Punk!

That would have been just wrong.

Also... song of the year apparently is...

Unfortunately, I don't remember the series that well. I missed most of the charm of this -- I'm not a musician, but he could have been helped mightily by some instruments.

I just watched Madonna sing on Macklemore's Same Love grammy performance right before watching this. Maybe that lowered my tolerance for dicey singing.

Although I gotta admire her gutsiness -- singing right after Mary Lambert? And then singing along with her? Gutsy.

Bad singing, backatcha.

Gotye -- "Somebody That I Used To Know" cover by Ivy & Gold

MichaelL says...

"their unique take on Gotye’s grammy award winning ‘Somebody I used to know’, amongst others"
Seems like a straight up re-make with a female lead, nothing unique here.

KDOC: The Best New Year's Eve Show OF ALL TIME.

Sagemind says...

Some of the highlights:
• At one point, the show interviews one of Hugh Hefner‘s ex-girlfriends holding a Carl’s Jr. cheeseburger because the burger chain sponsored this hot steaming pile of disaster.

Macy Gray (remember her?!?!?!) dropped by to give what seems like a completely stoned performance of that song that won her a Grammy 12 friggin’ years ago.

• On multiple occasions, Kennedy and/or the show’s producers ask on a hot mic whether the show is currently live (hint: it was) while liberally peppering in some profanity for the sake of it. The first few seconds of one return from commercial break began with Kennedy on-stage looking around confusedly while off-camera voices asked “Where’s my stage manager?” and declared: “Don’t fucking give me shit.”

• The control room couldn’t seem to figure out how to press the right buttons and so interviews were cut off mid-sentence, camera shots sometimes never changed, random Carl’s Jr. ads ran during the middle of broadcast, and a video of Jamie Kennedy at a comedy club took about 10 seconds to load.

• One random woman in the crowd figured out how to read teleprompter behind co-host Stu Stone and mimicked his read for an entire two minutes. Sheer brilliance.

• Some guy dropped a big ol’ “motherfucker” live on-air.

• Oh hey, Bone Thugs-n-Harmony (remember THEM?!?!?!?!) must’ve time-traveled from the 1990s to perform a few songs, seemingly missing the memo about “not cursing on air,” because… umm… they cursed. A lot.

• Kennedy channels the 2003 film that made him relevant for 10 whole minutes — Malibu’s Most Wanted — and tries his best at hitting on a drunk black woman: “You should go white, because it’ll keep your vagina very tight.”

• The show ends with a spontaneous fight on-stage behind the hosts… and then silence as the credits roll. Perfection.

Try Not to Cringe When you Listen to this

SDGundamX says...

omg, everything about this video just screams teen awkwardness. I really hope this is some kind of parody or spoof.

Some popular YouTube comments about this video:

"She should totally do a duet with Rebecca Black! they would get to the number 1 spot on billboard!"

"This was posted before the Grammy's nomination deadline. I feel disgusted by the Grammy's counsel decision of snubbing this beautiful gem!"

"And you guys [who] don't speak Portuguese...you can't imagine how great the rap is. Such a deep lyric about the life and universe. Love you so much,Thamys!"

Stevie Ray Vaughan - Tin Pan Alley (Montreux '85)

Trout says...

Tag this with Johnny Copeland. That's him, the late, great Johnny Copeland, on co-lead guitar and co-lead vocals here. Copeland is also a Texas blues legend, and Grammy-winner who started out a generation before Stevie in the '50s. Not as showy as the (amazing) Vaughan, but every bit as soulful. Oh, and he's Shemekia Copeland's dad!

Well said I'm glad I'm not the only Texan here that knows that our state isn't embodied by the spirit of "King of the Hill".
