Once again, no Michael in the Memoriam. <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> Phew! The one clue of the evening. The best part of the whole thing was the Michael commercial. Other than that, I would say snoozefest of the year award. Except of course for Mick. How old is he? And I got to give it to Bieber, he's quite good. Plus, he recognized Michael at the AMA awards when he said, " “I want to thank Michael Jackson because without Michael Jackson, none of us would be here.” Good man!
Plus, the sound cut out during several parts of the show.
Well, I didn't expect much. But it's interesting there were a couple of surprise wins.
So I must have dozed off and didn't realize it. <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P --> What happened to the category that Michael was in? Who won?

Bruno Mars won that category.

Yes, for his song Just the way you are. I like Bruno Mars but was rooting for MJ to win so much.

Ok - is it just me or did anyone else think that - overall - the grammys were a big snore this year? I am tempted to say that they sucked but there were a couple of moments when they almost got off the ground.

I could have sworn that he was up against Lambert, Buble, Mayer and Mraz but no Bruno Mars!!!!!
What else do we need as proof that the results of course have been fixed beforehand.
This is the public vote result on Faxo (which is not official) - just to keep it for the records:

To note: also this poll was open for manipulation as multi-vote was feasible and the poll was closed during the last 7 minutes.
Let's take this with us:
despite Michael is not visible since a long time, he made it in the public opinion. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
Sorry guys...
It doesn't matter who we vote for to win a Grammy, these polls are just symbolic. We, the public, don't decide the winners of the Grammy Awards.
Grammy Award
Record companies and individuals may submit recordings to be nominated. The entries are entered online and then a physical copy of the product must be sent to the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences. Once a work is entered, reviewing sessions are held by over 150 experts from the recording industry. This is done only to determine whether or not a work is eligible or entered into the proper category for official nomination.
The resulting list is circulated to all NARAS members, each of whom may vote to nominate in the general field (Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist) and in no more than nine out of 30 other fields on their ballots. The five recordings that earn the most votes in each category become the nominees. There may be more than five nominees if there is a tie in the nomination process.
NARAS members receive no nominated recordings.
After nominees have been determined, final voting ballots are sent to Recording Academy members. They may then vote in the general fields and in no more than eight of the 30 fields. NARAS members are encouraged, but not required, to vote only in their fields of expertise. Ballots are tabulated secretly by the major independent accounting firm Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. Following the tabulation of votes the winners are announced at the Grammy Awards. The recording with the most votes in a category wins and it is possible to have a tie. Winners are presented with the Grammy Award and those who do not win are given a medal for their nomination.
In both voting rounds, Academy members are to vote based upon quality alone. They are not supposed to be influenced by sales, chart performance, personal friendships, regional preferences or company loyalty. The acceptance of gifts is prohibited. Members are urged to vote in a manner that preserves the integrity of the academy.
The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences The National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences, Inc., known variously as The Recording Academy or NARAS, is a U.S. organization of musicians, producers, recording engineers and other recording professionals dedicated to improving the quality of life and cultural condition for music and its makers. Neil Portnow is the current president of the academy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Academy_of_Recording_Arts_and_Sciences
Yep Serenity. It's a business jury, not a "we like it" jury.
They are celebrating themselves and selling that to the public as a big whoopla.
It's a big pink illusion bubble of "am I beautiful tonight?"
Take a needle and "puff".
TMZ said that Christina Aguilera flubbed again by falling during the Grammy. And they talked about this other "fall" of hers. (She had already made a mistake singing at the Superbowl.) So what's up with all that?

I saw a few MJ connections at the very beginning of the show....
1) Greg Phillinganes was the musical director of the opening number, a tribute to Aretha Franklin....Greg was in MJ's band for years....as far back as the Bad Tour, I believe...the number also featured a smokin' hot (vocally and visually)...
2) Jennifer Hudson, who was prominently featured during the Memorial, dressed in white, singing lead on "Will You Be There"....did you notice her costume tonight? The top had a very MJ-esque style of military eppelets...and then there was the...
3) Brick wall in the "2011 Grammy Awards" screen shot that was shown during commercial breaks that looked like it was straight of the cover of "Off the Wall"...
4) Also noticed that at the end of E!'s coverage of the Red Carpet, Ryan Seacrest said he was "thirsty" and immediately, someone handed him a Coke, which he started to drink and made no effort to hide....it would have made more sense for someone to hand him a bottle of water, I would think....it could have just been product placement, I guess, bought and paid for by Coke, but still....
I'm sad that MJ didn't win a Grammy tonight, even though I didn't understand how "This Is It" even qualified....don't get me wrong...I am thrilled that MJ was acknowledged with a nom even if he didn't win....but the man has been "dead" since mid 2009....it is now 2011....did that seem odd to anyone but me? But if MJ HAD won, I wonder who was there to accept the award?
I was unable to sit down and view the entire show while it was being shown, but it is now on my DVR....I hope to find time to watch it all in its entirety to see if there are any other little clues to be found....but certainly, there was nothing very overt happening as far as MJ is concerned...far less than I expected....
Also wanted to say Happy Birthday to Prince Jackson...is he 14 now? Hard to believe he's a teenager....will Paris be 12 or 13 in April? I'm drawing a blank on both of these kids' ages!
Happy Valentine's Day to all here! Let's celebrate a day devoted to L.O.V.E!
I tried to watch it from grammy page at night and then at morning but i didnt see anything... weird ik
i heard that Michael didnt win ... well that sucks!!! <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? --> i think Michael deserved it 100000 times more than Bruno Mars.. but anyways HAPPY VALENTINES DAy everyone! I love you all.
This was at the Grammys today.Will.i.am actually came on stage dressed like that.Sinderella I am not sure is that your reply...image Super Bowl?I actually didn't think my picture had worked, as I am not very computer savvy.Looking at that it appears that it worked, and twice at that.Cheers.

suzz
sorry cant remember who posted the grammys of mj 1988??..AMAZING!!!..TY..
I wanted very much that Michael had won.
But Bruno Mars is much better than Adam Lambert.
I like the music of Bruno, his style and his gentle voice.
Of course, nothing compares to Michael, but ... ok .... I'm glad he won!
Who knows ... may be that the Grammys 2012, Michael is present to receive their prize. This is not impossible! <!-- s:P -->:P<!-- s:P -->
It was obvious from the very start that our votes were not counted, i've voted for Michael for thousands of time but in vain, <!-- s:evil: -->:evil:<!-- s:evil: --> the show was boooring to me, nothing interesting.
