I HATE THE GRAMMYS

[Fredstrong]

I concur, a bunch of old geezers judging music they know absolutely nothing about is nonsense. It's all bullshit politics.

[shellyindallas]

yeah, all those awards shows are celebrity circle-jerks. i didn't watch the grammy's but saw some highlights on the web this morning. Amy Winehouse was weird doing some kind of shimmy-shake and marylin monroe poses with all her 82 lbs and translucent white legs. then i saw tina turner and beyonce doing proud mary. i hate beyonce!

The link does not work, I too am filled with hatred over this.

[shellyindallas]

I hate Kanye West and Amy Winehouse.

I hate that Harry Connick, Jr. is always overlooked by the Grammys. Nominated, but doesn't win (he's won a couple but the nomination-to-win ratio is very low).

I hate anyone who dares to say they hate Harry Connick, Jr. I don't hater-hate them, I just hate them. I have no sense of humor about this.

King, I do hate you a little bit for calling him a putz. He's a prodigy, a philanthropist, and a patent-holder. He does way more than sing and play the piano. He plays every instrument in his orchestra. He's a composer and an arranger, an inventor (thus the patent), an actor, a dancer, a businessman, a committed husband and father, and a helluva nice guy. And I don't know if you've ever seen him live, but if the music thing didn't work out for him he could have had a career in stand-up comedy.

[shellyindallas]

Dayum! King went from hater to grim reaper!

[Sarah]

Have you ever invented anything?

Electronic sheet music.

I will go on record as saying I hate Harry Connick, Jr. I hate his hamfisted cute little boy image. I hate his hilariously bad turn as a crazed killer in that movie he was in. I hate his "aw shucks" attitude. I hate his soulless, freeze-dried takes on classic jazz.

I reserve the right to hate and be hated. Bring it on:)

[Sarah]

Alright, Randomanthony, you're entitled to your opinion, and I hate you.

[RandomAnthony]

Thank you for your reasonable hate, Sarah.

I hate Common's stupid hat.

I don't know if this is Grammy related, but speaking of head-covering, I hate that Kenny Chesney hides his crazy bald head ALL THE TIME. We all know you're bald, Kenny. Is your bald head that terrifying? Must you hide it with cowboy hats, baseball hats, and worst of all, the doo-rag? Will you ever show your bald head? I would pay a thousand dollars for the opportunity to run on stage, grab his hat, and run off.

I also hate Kenny Chesney's videos that show him sitting on a beach all the time. He's made about fourteen videos with the same stupid theme...him on a boat, making that stupid hand sign. I hate Kenny Chesney.

[Sarah]

He's a country singer who was married to Renee Zellweger for five minutes.

I did enjoy it when Vince Gill slammed Kanye West. I hate Kanye West...I think he is a whiner. :)

The 2.5 minutes of the Grammys that I managed to cram down my own throat reminded me, like so many acrylic nails on chalkboard, exactly what it is I HATE about the music industry. Self-important, mediocre, overly-glossed, ersatz, politically uniform, soul snoring crap fest.

Rush will win a Grammy when it becomes hip to write songs about Ayn Rand novels again. Probably right about the time China invades our asses and lines all the really interesting people up against the wall for a final bow.

Grammy fashions make my brain twitch... and not in a pleasant way. It's as if a fetish wear truck and a clown mobile collided with one another in a darkened tunnel. What crawled out is what stumbles up the red carpet at the Grammys. Blowfish on quaaludes.

[Charissa]

thank you Donald my dear. I am indeed a being filled with loathing and bile. Thanks for noticing! Please drive through.

When I was watching the Grammys (Grammies??--how do you make it pleural?) I was thinking...those haters on GoodReads are going to have a field day. So I had to chime in.

I hate that every time I've watched the Grammies for the past ten years Tina Turner has come out and sang Proud Mary and then we're all supposed to go nuts over how good she still looks. And then we give an honorary Grammy to Burt Bacharach. Every year? Then Tony Bennett comes out and the camera cuts to some music mogul in the audience just smiling and slow clapping in amazement...possibly wiping a tear. And Jerry Lee Lewis singing "kiss me baby?" He's 82! I hope there was a defibrillator VERY CLOSE.

I love Amy Winehouse's album but I hate that she acted like a hot mess on the Grammyies.

And good call, Donald. Alicia Keys = awesome!

I haven't watched the Grammys since I was 12 (or so), so I have no idea what ya'll are talking about...I hate that!

I know who Rush is....and Tina Turner has some Rockin Legs - Beyond Thunderdome and all that...Uhhhh...I guess I need to start listening to some Z100 and KBOO, cause KGON isn't keepin me "in the know"! Was Neil Young there? Anyone from Pink Floyd? Anyone from The Who? Anyone from Sabbath that didn't sell out?
