I see that, but I watched the red carpet last year and it didn't look like Staples. Maybe I am mixing things up. Were there two different locations?

I just heard MJ did not win, oh well!

[Guest]

Michael did not win, winners are in bold http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/53rd_Grammy_Awards

[Sinderella]

The link that was posted up isn't for the Grammy's.
It has nothing to do with them,it is a seperate online award.

The Grammy winner was decided long ago...#industrypolitics

[~Souza~]

LOL, I don't get it... Why did we vote?

[Sinderella]

My suggestion is that everyone who voted on the link provided,which is still going btw
Go and email the GRAMMYS with their complaint about your time being wasted,copyright images of the Grammys being used by the website and using fans to boost whatever it is they are trying to get numbers for.
Over 1million people have voted on that site....wonder how many could have gone to the actual Grammy's to be counted.

People have been voting 100's of times over weeks for nothing.

Please use this form and be polite but firm in your communication with them.

Y'all might want to contact twitter and question them on why #GrammyForMJ which has filled up my feed for 3days almost solidly did not trend once...but Adam,Bieber and every other celebrity going did.

[trustno1]

So annoyed at the time wasted and it was SO misleading, from the comments on the link plenty of people thought they were voting for an actual winner not a virtual one.  Still hope MJ wins though its more of a fans vs fans thing really.  MJ might not have put great importance on awards (despite always being humble and grateful when receiving them) and had so many anyway but he deserved this one.  We'll know better next time guys!

Bruno Mars sure has a lot of checkerboard surrounding him.

I enjoyed Muse.  And Jonalle is trying to tell some truth I see.

[Stranger In Chi-town]

Yeahhh!!! Loved the last performance...Janelle Monae was smokin'! x]  8-)

[voiceforthesilent]

Thanks Sind - I am so disappointed that this bogus site was not only taking people's votes but it resembles the real site so close and doesn't make it clear that this is not the official voting site. Grrrr...

I sent a complaint to the Grammy's. It may not do any good for the outcome this year but if enough of us complain maybe they will do something to change this next time. I agree - I wonder how this could have been different had people known the correct site to vote on.

I don't want to take anything away from Bruno Mars but I just don't believe he would have received more votes than Michael had Michael's supporters known the correct site to vote on.

Also - that video of Michael performing in 1988....I could watch that all day long. I remember watching it on TV and several times the past couple of years. Incredible performer.

Blessings to everyone's evening.

Both Justin B and Usher again doing MJ moves (more crotch grabbing than I have seen Usher do in a while)- and again Usher ended the performance with his one hand up- this time fisted.

[looking4truth]

Anyone else was thinking "red curtain"?  :lol:

[SoldierofLOVE]

I missed the red curtain?

Who was it who just played before Bob Dylan came out.  I liked that song.
