Kicking off the night was the first appearance of the reunion of the Police! They did "Roxanne" (shocker) and it was actually pretty damn good! They did a little remix on the second verse, but all in all, damn good. I was curious though as to how or who was doing the background vocals. The drummer, Stewart Copeland, was flailing about and the guitar player, Andy Summers (I think) looked like he was trying to sing, but not belting it out like you would think for such background vocals. Oh, and another thing.....Sting / Neal Patrick Harris ... separated at birth?
Jamie Foxx kicked the night off and was damn funny making fun of some "black" walk he did on national TV....
Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder won the first award. Was it just me, or did Tony totally forget he should have helped the blind dude to the stage? Stevie was reaching out for him and he was hand shaking the front row...oh...by the way, Tony, nice sponsor name drop....(rolls my eyes)
Joan Baez's intro of the Dixie Chicks was a snooze fest, but they themselves did pretty well.
After commercial break, they show the stage. No intro music, no B-movie actress introduction, just the little 5'3" Minnesota legend; PRINCE!! After his Super Bowl appearance (which was stellar!) his stock has had to go up 150%.
Black Eyed Peas: what the F was on your right ear, dude!?
Mary J Blige kickin ass last night.....and still looking as elegant and hot as ever EVEN with sporting tats!
Justin Timberlake.....what the hell was up with the "Justin Hand Cam"?
P!NK was lookin smokin hot....
Second appearance of Stevie Wonder.......wouldn't it be funny if he whipped his glasses off and yelled out APRIL FOOL'S !!!
For the love of Zeus's Lightning Bolts, someone destroy ALL copies of James Blunts "You're Beautiful".....
Shakira was shakin'.....her hips were just on fire!! Axl Rose is somewhere holed up in the Hollywood hills putting the "finishes" on the long awaited Chinese Democracy CD for the last 10 years or so saying "Hey she does the snake dance better than I do!"
Much love and respect to the D Chicks.....but how did they get song of the year!? I haven't even heard the song before....does that qualify for song of the year?
Ludacris thanks pretty much everyone on the planet but my grandmother and me.....and what the F is up with the "shout out" to Oprah and Bill O'Reilly??
about then I was nodding off, so I will have to check TIVO sometime and see if there were any other good moments!.....
