Robert Plant, on the other hand, looks like one of the undead. ---

> [@SuntanTigerTamer](#): > > Stevie Wonder and the MOTHERFUCKING JONAS BROTHERS?!?!?!! Are you serious? Has there ever, anywhere, been a higher ratio of absolute genius to utter mediocrity and sheer banality in the history of performing arts? I can’t imagine what it would be. Even Barry Manilow to Mozart doesn’t even come close. ---

I’ve never heard “Please Read The Letter” before tonight. I like “Bweeding Love” (Briston-baby style). That song was all over the airwaves and I think Leona Lewis is very talented. Someone keeps putting Stevie on stage with the oddest people. That was just weird. The duet by Jordan Sparks and that cute toothy boy was my favorite. Are they honoring Plant for hanging in there all these years, or was this a great record? ---

> [@SuntanTigerTamer](#): > > MIA better win I couldn’t agree more. And she looks so cute in her blue dress. Not many people could pull that off. I’ve never been a fan of Coldplay, but I have to say… I really liked the song they did tonight. And the addition of Jay-Z (I think that’s who it was) made it even better. Oh, and I loved Kanye and Estelle’s performance, although I’m not impressed with the way Kanye _always_ has to have sour grapes. ---

> [@jali](#): > > The duet by Jordan Sparks and that cute toothy boy was my favorite. Are they honoring Plant for hanging in there all these years, or was this a great record? I listened to one song from it, and didn’t particulalry care for it (but I do like bluegrass). My guess is that’s partly the star power in the group, but also they’re probaby making a bluegrass/crossover record. Gave the mainstream something new to listen to. Turn on XM Bluegrass Junction once in a while, there’s some great stuff over there. What was with Morgan Freeman’s glove. ---

And Weezy kills everything he touches. This is the only match up I can get behind of the entire Grammys so far. Even if MIA was lip synching, she has to be like 13 months pregnant for Chrissakes. They murdered that segment. ---

She’ll probably wait until she gets her Grammy here in a minute.😉 That group of rappers cracked me up, especially with MIA dancing around in her preggo polka dot getup. ---

If it wasn’t for Radiohead performing later that was the highlight of the night for me. ---

Now we get to watch one of the Beatles suck in comparision to four rappers and a nine months pregnant MIA. I love it.
