Nettles bugs me. Too much wink-wink, YOW, ROW, corny .. I don't know what it is. Maybe she's putting too much acting into her singing. I'm with Sharon and Malchus's wife. Nettles bugs me.

I think I may be the only person who doesn't enjoy that song. Nettles can sing, no denying, but that song goes on about 2 minutes too long for me. I know every other country fan loves it, but not me. Whew, I've been carrying that around a while. Boy, Sugarland will be pissed to know that one fan disliked that song. Not. Does your wife also dislike the song “Stay”?

Not far behind was the Rap Pack, comprised of Jay Z, Lil Wayne, Sean Combs. and T.I. There was a very nice tribute to the Four Tops by Smokey Robinson, Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, and the sole remaining Top, Duke Fakir. Estelle and Kanye West did a nice duet, and the Sugarland / Adele segment was also nicely done. Justin Timberlake and T.I. duet was a really good moment as well.

Remaining 3/4ths = all-star jam. If you can't handle being onstage with the superstars, don't come up and waste everyone's time, go back to your P. Diddy afterparty and grimmace like a rockstar off-camera. A dream broadcast: Two hour show – first half hour gets the statues passed around. Remaining 3/4ths = all-star jam.

What a bunch of crapola! Special Ed kindergarten gerbils could have made a better selection of "artistic statements"... No, I'm going to be good and certain before I plunk down for "No Line In The Horizon", damn skippy. And that book! What a bunch of crapola!

The problem with the Grammys is that for every one performance or pairing that is inspired, there are about four or five that make you cringe.
