ShredAstaire Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I noticed that too. I figured the mic was picking them up...none of them were too close to the mic for singin so that was my thought... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Artie Owl Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Personally I'm getting sick of Auto Tune and people with money who "choose" to be "singers". As long as you can afford the memebership price you too can be a pop singer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grampa Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I kind of watch the show just to see if any of the performances are any good. I liked Mumford & Sons and the fact that C Lo Green or whatever his name is used puppets for back-up was a reason to like his performance. I had heard some stuff about Arcade Fire and wanted to see what they were like and I liked them. And of course, Babs was fabulous. I did like that Esperanza Spalding beat out the Beiber. I heard he was seen shaving his head after the show. Probably thinks it's time to change his image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I saw that on Under the Great White Northern Sky.... :) You watched it? Seriously a great movie. Cool ending too, couldn't have ended any better. Honestly, after he made that, I seriously doubted they would get back together, it seemed like the culmination of the White Stripes era to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShredAstaire Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah i loved when they went to the Reservation and he played for all the old folks...that was a cool scene too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Yeah i loved when they went to the Reservation and he played for all the old folks...that was a cool scene too. My favorite part was when he was telling Meg to tell the camera that he doesn't talk over her, and as she was trying to say she was quiet, he kept on talking I literally fell out of my chair laughing on that part Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 exactly! Mumford and Sons kick ***, and no offense to this Esperanza Spalding person, but nobody knows who she is. I have been a fan of hers for two years, she played at the White House. Signed, Mr. Nobody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowdiddley Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Nope, I'm working tonight on a technical paper, which I've been working on for the last year and a half. I made a breakthrough on the research this week so I wanted to get it all written up. That's my exciting Sunday night... Congrats on the breakthrough!

DanvillRob Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 I watched a little of it. Got tired of all the "bleeps". Do these people not understand that not everyone wants to hear their foul mouths? Did enjoy the Mayer/Jones/Urban deal. Liked Lady Antebellum. Not much else. Lady GagGag bores me. Was disappointed that my friend, Alec Paleo lost to the "The Beatles" for best historical Album....but hey....if you're gonna lose to someone, the Beatles aren't too bad a deal!

LPguitarman Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Watched it. Muted it during anything Rap or HipHop. Can't stand that S#!t. Don't even know how they categorize some of it as music. I was very happy to see that "What's a Beiber" didn't win anything. And what was up with that "Black Elton John" wannabe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChanMan Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Watched parts of it. Had to take my son back to school, so missed a lot. Mumford and sons rock... Don't really know the chick that won it. Same for Album of the year. Never heard of the band, couldn't name a single one of their songs, unlike the other 4 nominees. For those that don't get award shows, most places of employment have recognition for their employees... and that is what awards are for folks in the various aspects of show business. There is no "20th Century Fox" actor of the month, or "President's Club", so they get together annually and recognize their best for outstanding performances. In theory.

I love a good F bomb and think that you should be able to say whatever on cable after 10pm, but when those F bombs are directed at someone, like in rap, I feel the need to turn it off.

Silenced Fred Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Chan- The band that won album of the year, Arcade Fire, actually got really big this year. IMO, I still don't know if they should have won it, but it was pretty big for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arcade Fire is a really good band from Montreal. One of the best live shows I have ever seen. Highly recommend YouTube'ing some of their stuff. They really did deserve album of the year.

I don't mind an "f-bomb" now an then, but I'd prefer it NOT be around my mother, (or my wife, for that matter). There's a time and place for everything...and I think on a TV show it ain't the place.
