2011 Grammy live from Staples Center

[anewfan]

I missed the red curtain?

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

Yup. I don't think it means anything. I just like to point anything out that may signal MJ at big events. BAM can happen at any moment.  8-)

Maybe he's doing the dog puppet behind Ceelo's piano?   :lol:

LOL We need to check that performance again and see if one of the puppets do a moonwalk.

Definitely worth a second look!  

[Liberian Girl Heehee]

Once again, no Michael in the Memoriam.  8-)  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!

[SoldierofLOVE]

Sigh.  Am I the only one disappointed?

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.    What happened to the category that Michael was in?  Who won?

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

I'm a little shocked, I thought Michael wins =(

[geminigurl]

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.

[geminigurl]

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

Well colour me red.  I thought we were voting.  sorry for all you MJ fans who were hoodwinked like I was.  The site is still up and running - WTF?

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.

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 eligibility period for the 2011 Grammy Awards is September 1, 2009 to September 30, 2010.

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".
