[BigJon]

Was it just me...or did the audio really suck on the Grammies? The mics kept going in and out and most of the performers music was louder than the singers.

[Memo]

Bah U2 is trash, such generic crap they put out. They had one good song on that album. Coldplay is rapidly turning into U2 so I expect maybe in 20 years they will too be winning Grammys for crappy albums.

[zippyjuan]

It has always been a complaint at the Grammys that most of the big winners go to older acts.

[ladyluck]

was it me or did mariah carey's voice sound weird....

[kimchicowboy]

what the heck is the difference between album of the year and record of the year?

[zero2dash]

I think "record" is a single track and the "album" is the entire album. (At least that's what I assume from the nominations list.)

Ha ha ha ha...Kanye didn't win album of the year or song of the year....

[DarkFury]

Ha ha ha ha...Kanye didn't win album of the year or song of the year....

He did still win 3 Grammys though...

[ialsohaveadream]

Ha ha ha ha...Kanye didn't win album of the year or song of the year....

Yeah, that's gotta hurt. Maybe he can rub the Grammys he did win on it to make it feel better?

I still say that "Gone" was the best track on that album...it's just too long to get radio play. Just like "Never let you down" was the best track off of College Dropout.

By the way, I'm a big fan of White Stripes winning alternative album. And my girl Shakira got one for her album. I never watch the award shows, though. Anybody got a pic of how hot my girl looked accepting that award?

[Memo]

He did still win 3 Grammys though...

Those were gimme Grammys though

[MikeD]

Kanye didn't win album of the year or song of the year....

Uh oh...Kanye's "...gonna have a problem with that".

http://www.wimp.com/kanye/

Should we duck now or wait for the shots to be fired?

[Memo]

Hopefully Kanye just gets fueled up more to make another bad ass album next year. He's cocky but he speaks from the heart

[DarkFury]

Those were gimme Grammys though

He didn't refuse 'em though.
