Light up glasses and jacket. lawdy lawd.
The Grammies were better this year. The Collabos were hot. The highlights to me was Kanye. WOW!!! I think I want to go see on the Glow In the Dark Tour. DAMN!!!!
Bee & Tina Turner - Crazy. Alicia - Great as always.
Usher looked fat, uncomfortable & sad.
I missed seeing Mary J this year. Rhianna looked nice; but, sounded terrible. But, I loved the exchange with her & Jay-Z during her Grammy win. Jay is hillarous.
Oh, did I mention Kanye?!!! His performance was CRAZZEE HARD!!! RIP Ms. Donda West.

The Grammys belonged to Amy Winehouse tonight. Damn 5 Grammys pick up Back to Black and Frank both classic albums! Props to Kanye too you killed it with the performance I got teary eyed at Hey Mama you probably did too don’t lie!
Kanye is my dude. Glad he won big, bout to watch the performances.
Amy Winehouse swept tha whole show tho..wtf?
Amy Winehouse had the best performance.
Easy.
i enjoyed the whole show from start to finish.
Ye made me get a lil emotional and he was still a jerk at acceptance. LOL but i love his honesty(he jabbed the shit out of common)
i love Amy and im proud of her.
and the whole jay and rihanna thing was kinda flirtatious, it was sute how she grabbed his hand and dragged him on stage. LOL
Beyonce and Tina was classic!!!! That was the best part for me, they ripped it!
*cute

AMy Whinehouse - FREAKING CRACK HEAD cant stand her she scares me..
CHris brown - sorry try next year.

Congratzzz to Kanyeezy
RIP Donna West!
wtf!!?? justin timberlake didnt when best r and b album???he out sold every black act and thats an actual fact!!
justin>>>neyo,chris brown,beyonce,a.keys,the dream,mario,j.holiday
and smh @ the grammys for nominating jayz kingdom come…could have sworn he had a new album out…
smh @ those niggas for playin music during his speech about his mom…fuck the grammys
I got 2 beefs with last night….
#1…How the fuck they gonna give 5 grammys to a fucking crackhead. Amy Winehouse need to go back to rehab YES YES YES!!…Did you see her chicken legs…EWWWW
#2…Kanye always manage to squeeze every ounce of sympathy I have for him and pour it down the drain. His arrogant and utter rude demeanor during his acceptance speech when he was talking about “This is his award”…Telling Common he cant drop an album in the same year as him and expect to win…Like what the fuck is that about? Even after his mom died he STILL cant get off his high horse. Then he is gonna bitch about the music coming on. Like he deserves extra time just because he is talking about his mother. He shoulda been doing that before instead of talking about owning the Grammys. Karma is a bitch Kanye. They might never invite you again.
rihanna sound out of breath
tina is lovely !
YES ! I’m happy Lupe won a grammy, he desirves it, as well as Common and Kanye.
I MIGHT HAVE TO COP THAT FUNK THIS BY CHAKA,REAL TALK
OBAMA WON A GRAMMY,CLINTON DIDN’T.SUCKS TO BE HER,OBAMA 08!
“grammy awards are given to safe niggas”
CO-MUTHAFU%$@# SIGNED
kanye ripped it, that performance was touching…i think everyone should go and kiss their mama
smh at dudes playing music 2 mins into his acceptance speech…its sad that kanye has 2 tell those white heads to stop playin the music when hes talkin bout his mom, they should’ve done that without him saying anything….white folks lol
lol nas rockin a ‘nigger’ shirt….wut was w/ those white chicks behind him rocking ‘nigger’ shirts

beyonce can get it any day of the week. she looked fine as hell on stage with tina. must be nice to ahve all these iconic people showin you love. beyonce has had more icons praise her than anyother person. prince, cher, tina, and the rest of these mofo’s. girl can sing and must be doin something right to get all this acknowledgement.
Haha co-sign 6 @ 10 agreed but she not really known to White america thats why I’m not surprised she never won I don’t even think she got nominated. Amy killed I’m pleased for her hopeful she gets the support & help she needs.
Beyonce has the sexy legs in the game. I know Jay-Z hit it HARD last night. Her performance with Tina Turner was cute.
Alicia Keys was on point as usual. Her dress was gorgeous.
Rihanna need a little work on her performing but overall she did ok. Im happy she won a grammy.
Somebody need to tell Chris Brown how to dress for the Grammys. It aint Valentine’s Day yet bro. Take a lesson from Jay..He was looking SHARP.
LMAO at how Rihanna dragged Jay-Z up on stage..smh @ Beyonce for not handling that. lol
i nearly fell out my seat when Morris Day came out at the end of Rhianna’s performance. That was my favorite part of the grammy’s… to me it needed a touch of Ciara
co sign HA, that dress was beautiful.
wack
roflmao at the jay/rih thing now THAT was hilliarious.
the time/rih thing was best too (not sayin just cuz imma fan of both,it really was)
the ye one was amazing,i ALMOST cried
bey was kinda boring…tina was amazing
hands down best vocals goes to a.keys
oh and HOW THE F*CK DID REHAB GET SONG/RECORD OF THE YEAR OVER IRREPLACEABL??AND MORE IMPORTANTLY UMBRELLA!?!?!
it was yeeee’s year.
Not that Kanye doesn’t deserve his Grammies but it seems that when you die or if someone close to you dies, you suddenly become a better entertainer, or at least viewed as one. I’m just saying, don’t be surprised if Heath Ledger wins a few sympathy awards next year.
All of those performances were good except for Rihanna’s boring ass. That girl has got to be the worst female performer ever. Beyonce killed it with Tina and was by far the best performance of the night. Alicia did her thang as well but I’m sick of hearing her songs.
On to fashion: Alicia’s first dress was plain but her performance dress was gorgeous. I loved all of Beyonce’s outfits especially the yellow one she wore afterwards. Rihanna’s first dress was ugly and the performance one looked like a bunch of hay. Overall the grammy’s were boring except for Bey&Tina, Alicia, and Kanye. Everybody else performances sucked.
Im notta Kanye West hater but Graduation just didnt appeal 2 me like his other 2.I mean no skits his lyrics wasnt as strong,but congrats!
@52 *trumpet plays* people i give you the most obvious hater alive lmao
kanye showed some rappers why they aint poppin no more
his realness in his music is rare in hiphop today
as a fan i appreciate the passion he puts into his music and he was rewarded for it.
he and hiphop or black music saved the grammy’s cuz wit out them there would be nothing to celebrate
we run this
LOL @ GX
some people dont really appreciate good music, let alone know what it is.
^^What real music? I know you’re not talking about Rihanna’s non-singing ass so you must mean my comment about Alicia. I didn’t diss her. I love her voice I’m just tired of hearing her songs. And I just don’t like Rihanna that doesn’t make me a hater I happen to have good ears that’s all.
GX or whatever bitch please. That bitch can’t sing and she looked a hot mess that’s my opinion. That’s my opinion and ain’t shit you can do about it. Now go play in traffic or something.
Yall niggaz see soulja boy on red carpet lol http://www.sharemobile.ro/file.php?id=102666
LOL @ KeKe…
Let ‘em know girl. Rhi rhi is cute and all but umm thats it..she can’t sing worth a damn and her performance was alright to me. But of course Beyonce did her thang and held her own with ms. Tina. Love them both! Best of the night fasho.
all i gotta say is kanye killed it hands down by the way everybody was talking about hoe 50 was better then kanye where was he then!!!
