Topic: Grammy Awards 2019 - Crazy

The 2019 Grammy Awards were held last Sunday (Feb 10), and I somehow managed to stomach watching a fair bit of it. I was nearly nauseated by the lack of real musicianship among so many of the nominees and winners.

I try not to get on a high horse about it, but does anyone else feel that the "recording artists" who win one of these popularity contests make you instinctively react in a bad way? It's like if something is celebrated as being popular, I automatically want to walk away.

What did you think about the Grammys?

Looks like I've missed the first 61, maybe next year I'll watch it - but why stop when I'm on a winning streak .. ??

Fabricated stars and fabricated images - you can't expect much that is going to impress real people.
I stopped watching them several years ago

I've never watched it but I have no doubt I would agree with all the other replies.

P.S. Good one Phill. LOL!

Re: Grammy Awards 2019 - Crazy

I watched about  a few minutes of the Grammy and hit the of button. I was very pleased later on when talking to group of younger people who I thought might have liked it to hear they to were not impressed. One of my neices watched a short five minute edited version of the so called highlights and told me it was pathetic. Apparently they had Dolly Parton on I wonder if she impressed anyone.?????

Well that's refreshing, Peatle ... it's encouraging that so many younger folks are equally unimpressed <---> disgusted. I don't enjoy being a "hater" as they're calling it, but I'm also not keen on someone jamming crap in my face, and telling me I should like it because the popularity contests say it's good.
