Odd duet of the night: Elton John & Lady Gaga.

I dont' get her, either. Not only for the reason you cited, but her songs all sound alike imo. Just like Ace of Base.Lavabe wrote:On the other hand, would someone PLEASE explain to me Taylor Swift. I think she had a note in tune.CameronBornAndBred wrote:Pink was awesome. 100% totally awesome.

In a world of pop stars who serve as nothing more than delivery mechanisms for other people's music, she a) writes her own songs and b) plays an instrument.Lavabe wrote:On the other hand, would someone PLEASE explain to me Taylor Swift.

Without even commenting on the quality of either of those things, that scores her points in my book.
edit: and while she may not have been in tune, again, she was singing. Pink, for example, wasn't singing. As any musician can attest, you can't sing like that hanging upside down and swinging. Same goes for the performers doing all sorts of dance moves--you can't run a marathon on stage and belt out a song.

Re: 2010 Grammy Awards
Prince Jackson's voice is pitched at least two octaves below his father's.
The Pink thing (maybe we should call her "Nude" instead) was just bizarre.
Taylor Swift's album of the year win was no surprise.
I loved seeing Ringo Starr.
Finally, The Kings of Leon forgot to thank me, so they owe me shots.

Re: 2010 Grammy Awards
We watched a bit of the show at Kelly's parents last night. I was glad to see Kings of Leon take home some awards. Weren't they also the only artists in the Best Record category that write and perform their song? The rest of what I saw depressed me.CathyCA wrote:Prince Jackson's voice is pitched at least two octaves below his father's.

Whoever was onstage with Jeff Beck in the tribute to Les Paul was the lone "singer," but we definitely heard several singers.rockymtn devil wrote:In a world of pop stars who serve as nothing more than delivery mechanisms for other people's music, she a) writes her own songs and b) plays an instrument.Lavabe wrote:On the other hand, would someone PLEASE explain to me Taylor Swift.

As for Taylor Swift singing on stage... I wish she would lip-synch, because her "live" performances at the Grammys and on SNL were BADLY out of tune.

Re: 2010 Grammy Awards
Pink stated via Twitter earlier today, "I hear there's a debate over whether or not I sang live on grammies. I have never lip synched in my entire life. I'm 100% against it." If you don't want to take her word for it, the Grammys have a "no lip-syncing" policy. You can continue to doubt it if you want, but I believe she was really singing. I surely couldn't sing while doing that stuff, but I'm not in the same kind of physical condition she is; the woman doesn't have an ounce of fat on her.rockymtn devil wrote:In a world of pop stars who serve as nothing more than delivery mechanisms for other people's music, she a) writes her own songs and b) plays an instrument.Lavabe wrote:On the other hand, would someone PLEASE explain to me Taylor Swift.

Re: 2010 Grammy Awards
Pink is one of two women in pop music nowadays who can sing and perform at the same time...the other is Lady Gaga. Pink could also kick your ass in a dark alley. I've liked Pink for a long time, but she truly won me over by singing on Spongebob. She was a perfect pirate.gadzooks wrote:Pink stated via Twitter earlier today, "I hear there's a debate over whether or not I sang live on grammies. I have never lip synched in my entire life.

Re: 2010 Grammy Awards
I have loathed the Grammys ever since they 'discovered' Eric Clapton back right after his son died. What a load of assholes this academy has proven to be.
