Album of the Year goes to: Harry!

The guy in the back looks like Krist Novelselic from Nirvana.

[TypicalBilly14]

this song might be literally off the hook if they go to local news for running late. But damn Jay Z paying homage to Leaping Lanny Poffo with that awesome rhyming poem.

[TypicalBilly14]

I wanna go to bed but I have to see some of this E! Post Show.

[coldengrey12]

Harry's record is fine

Would've preferred Mr. Morale or Renaissance, but it's fine

As it Was is a jam

[DMBstandUP1984]

Beyoncé not winning AOY is wild

Everyone had her as the favorite.

Two nuggets from the interview/link -

1) According to Questlove, Will Smith was originally supposed to be a part of the tribute but had to back out due to production on “Bad Boys 4.”

“I’ll give the spoiler alert away. Will Smith was apart of the festivities tonight, but they started shooting ‘Bad Boys 4’ this week,” Questlove told Variety‘s Marc Malkin on the red carpet. “There were a lot of preliminary shots that he had to do, so we had to lose Will.”


2) While he says the original tribute was going to be 23 minutes long, it has since been cut down to 14 minutes. “It’s going to be amazing,” Questlove promised viewers on the red carpet.

Bummed they cut it from 23 to 14.. and Will would have been cool. I feel like it was still a great performance but they could have done a bit more with it. It seems like it was a last minute thing they threw together since they couldn't get Beyonce/Adele/Taylor/etc to perform. Ice T on the red carpet said Questlove just called him this week and asked if he would do it lol. If they had had a few weeks/months to lock everyone in, would have been even better but still a cool thing to do! I'd love to see a special later this year with more appearances and this was just an appetizer.

It would have been cool to see Snoop Dogg, Andre 3000, Eminem, 50 Cent, Diddy, Lil' Wayne, etc.

Just a few predictions…

Album Of The Year: Taylor Swift - Midnights
Record Of The Year: Miley Cyrus - Flowers
Song Of The Year Billie Eilish - What Was I Made For?

[eggsrsweet]

One thing about the Grammys is that they are really hard to predict. They always go w/ some random ass winner in the big categories. Like Bonnie Raitt beating out Beyoncé, T Swift, Adele, Kendrick Lamar, etc in Song of the Year last year.

[TypicalBilly14]

I can totally see Taylor plugging Reputation during this show since she got shut out on this album when she probably should’ve won.

[DMBstandUP1984]

I wonder if they gate keep and not let Taylor get 4

Her Grammy % wins are low overall

Beyoncé's is way too high.

[TypicalBilly14]

Phoebe!

[TypicalBilly14]

E! is live right now.

[dmbetc]

Phoebe is a Grammy winner, excellent.

[dmbetc]

Performances I’m most looking forward to

Joni Mitchell (I assume it’ll be a Joni Jam..which I was fortunate enough to witness twice last year)
Brandy Clark (hoping duet with Brandi Carlile)
U2
Olivia
Billy Joel
Luke Comb & Tracy Chapman

Gonna be a great show. I don’t know the last time I was this excited for the Grammy’s.

[OK_Ant]

Will Larry be with U2 tonight?

Love the Kylie song. Glad to see she won a Grammy for it.

[TypicalBilly14]

just finished the We Are The World Doc. Perfect timing before the Grammys. Would be awesome if they performed that song tonight. Great doc. Al Jarreau. . The unsung hero in many ways was Lionel Richie for hosting and then keeping everyone in check during that doc.

For the life of me, I dont know how anyone can just happen to hear that song and not change it unless you are feeling down and depressed and are alone.


It's an instant change. Can't be background music or anything.
