Note to Aretha Franklin: Get the person who dresses Queen Latifah to see how a larger woman should dress!

Oh, and The Band is Bruce Springsteen and the E-Street Band, not Little Steven VanZant, or Patty Scalfa and the E-Street Band, I am so tired of SVZ and PS, taking/hogging face time away from Bruce or other members like Nils Lofgren (who I love) or Clarence Clemmons - who never get shown on TV shows or videos.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE people are bitching about a grammys show that featured largely musical acts from artists rather than the musical action figures of the past few years.

No lip syncs  
No brittney  
no backstreet boys  
N’sync limited to a capella and they actually sang, no dancing.(and if I was gonna choose someone to do a tribute to the bee gees, i don’t think I could have done better)

Count your blessings, it could have been that bad production plus musical acts and award winners that have no artistic merit.

Gimmie music that means something and dustin hoffman’s “say baby say baby say” over brittney with a python anytime.
