53rd GRAMMY Awards Slated For Feb. 13, 2011
Music's Biggest Night will air live from Staples Center on CBS
April 13, 2010 -- 2:00 am

The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards will take place in Los Angeles at Staples Center on Sunday, Feb. 13, 2011, and will air live on the CBS Television Network from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT). As a result of last year's earlier show and Awards process dates, this year the eligibility dates for the 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards are Sept. 1, 2009, through Sept. 30, 2010. (This year will mark a 13-month eligibility period.) The date for the GRAMMY nominations announcement — which showcases GRAMMY Award finalists, the year's best and brightest in music as voted on by The Recording Academy's membership of music professionals — will be announced shortly.

"The 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards was a dynamic, memorable evening, and it delivered our highest ratings since 2004 and the biggest year-over-year increase in more than 20 years," said Neil Portnow, President/CEO of The Recording Academy. "We have every intention of keeping that momentum going with our 53rd show, and once again we are thrilled to be bringing the excellence and excitement of our GRAMMY Week events and charitable initiatives to the city of Los Angeles. We also look forward to working on another outstanding GRAMMY telecast with our partners and good friends at CBS and Staples Center."

"The 53rd Annual GRAMMY Awards will once again be event television with exciting and memorable performances that will entertain and engage our audience," said Jack Sussman, executive vice president, specials, music and live events, CBS. "We look forward to working with our partners at The Recording Academy to make Music's Biggest Night an event that can't be missed."

GRAMMY Week — a weeklong series of cultural events culminating in Music's Biggest Night — will again feature celebrations of music, fashion, arts education, and philanthropy, including the Salute To series, GRAMMY Style Studio, GRAMMY Career Day, Clive Davis and The Recording Academy's Pre-GRAMMY Gala, the annual MusiCares Person of the Year tribute, the GRAMMY Foundation's Music Preservation Project, the Entertainment Law Initiative luncheon, a Producers & Engineers Wing event, and GRAMMY Museum programs, among others.

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!

Love you more, Mike!

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! :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,  :evil: the show was boooring to me, nothing interesting.

Quote from: "Liberian Girl Heehee

u]"]Once again, no Michael in the Memoriam[/u].  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!

sorry i cheated . i don't have time this morning to read all but this reminded me. did anyone else see peter lopez in this part i thought i did. is it common for them to do other than entertainers?

"I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be shrewd as serpents and as innocent as doves."  




Why not just tell people I'm an alien from Mars? Tell them I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight. They'll believe anything you say, because you're a reporter. But if I, Michael Jackson, were to say, "I'm an alien from Mars and I eat live chickens and do a voodoo dance at midnight," people would say, "Oh, man, that Michael Jackson is nuts. He's cracked up. You can't believe a single word that comes out of his mouth."

Gosh- that was an overall snore fest!

The highlight for me was also the Micheal Experience commercial.  :lol:

Actually, I was suprised as I thought Usher and Bieber were really good.
What IS up with Christina falling this time?  Jennifer Hudson looked and sounded amazing!

Eminem sporting his pyramid necklace.   :|

Will I Am looked so great- from the red gloves to the armband- I LOVE that man! Which reminds me, I meant to tweet him...

Wonder what will happen next year, when "Michael" is eligible to be nominated. It was released after the dealine this year, which is why  TII was nominated (it was released after last year's deadline).

I love Bruno Mars.  If anybody else was gonna win that category besides Michael, I'm glad it was him.  My favorite performance of the night was Mick Jagger.  He still got it 8-)

I had never heard of this group before until I watched them on the Grammy's. I like this song alot. I watched some of the Grammy's then I fell asleep. I did DVR it so I will watch later. I don't understand why many of you thought this was a snooz fest. What exactly were you expecting? Not everything will be up to everyone's standards. ;)

Peace
