i am so happy kings of leon won an award=) i love the followhills

This douche bag robbed Jason Mraz. Jason worked to put out a album and this bum did not. He lay on his behind ******** around.
This jerk has no conscience and that’s how he can live with him self. I hope the jerk choke on those awards.

Mayer and Jen are not a couple. That’s why she was not there. Mayer is just using her name to pull him self up the ladder. Hollywood is so fake now.

Samantha aka Jason mraz lover @ 02/09/2009 at 1:09 am

John Mayer sucks, I agree with whoever said he kissed ass to get it! Jason Mraz deserved the grammys more!! His music is much more interesting and hes not a sell out like Mayer. Jason Mraz won the people’s grammy I think!!

Samantha aka Jason mraz lover @ 02/09/2009 at 1:09 am

John Mayer sucks, I agree with whoever said he kissed ass to get it! Jason Mraz deserved the grammys more!! His music is much more interesting and hes not a sell out like Mayer. Jason Mraz won the people’s grammy I think!!

I love Kings of Leon their album is hot. Way hotter than any thing gay Mayer would ever write. They should have gotten more awards.

What is this gaywad wearing. Did he put check implants in his face. If so he should take them out because his face looks like his ar$e.

you guys are all f***s. John Mayer is one of the most musically talented people alive. Have you ever read his music? He knows how to make something very easy sound extremely difficult. He’s a GENIUS. I don’t even have to mention his guitar skills. You idiots obviously don’t know s**t about music.
Congats John.

Jonas hater @ 02/09/2009 at 1:19 am

the jonas brothers have absolutely no musical talent ever. they can’t sing worth ****.

Mayer is a Jerk @ 02/09/2009 at 1:21 am

John robbed Jason Mraz big time. Jason worked hard Mayer didn’t. JM probably suc!(ed some guy off for his awards.

Jennifer Hudson rocked the house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mayer has no talent if he did he would not need Jennifer Aniston to help him get media attention and buy him TV shows. Mayer can go kiss Jen Asston for getting him two awards and a TV show because this a-hole can’t do any thing on his own. Jerk can’t even get the paps to take his picture without being connected to Jen.
So John call mommy up and thank her for buying you the awards like a good little boy.

i agree with Buddy.
If John wasn’t with Jen, you all wouldn’t give a **** if he got the awards. His great at music

John Mayer suck-Jason Mraz all the way. Genuine talent there.
John’s stunt life pays off again.

I agree with Alice, Mike Samantha and the rest. Mraz should have won. I can’t stand Mayer. He cheated a good artist.

Douchifer will never be an A-list couple. Wake up out of your dream. Nobody like those to desperate douche bags. They are just to stupid to know people don’t like them and to dumb to go away. They will only last long as the money they have in their pockets last. When the money run out they are finished in HW.

Mike can I add…..how you going to be an A-list couple when your chick keep mooning for her ex in the media and John keep throwing puns at her ex-husband. They sound more like heckle and Jeckle.

I know a lot about music and what Mayer do is not all that. He is overrated.

thank god metallica won best metal performance they deserved it and FYI Coldplay ain’t rock!

For htose of u who don’t know who robert plant he was the lead singer of led zeppelin ok that is real music not jason mraz crap

In Europe he’s known only for his relationship with Jennifer aniston…he’s so overrated..he doesn’t deserve this consideration!!!

#15 i agree….katy was horrible singing live…really was not good at all.

i’m glad kings of leon won and coldplay got song of the year (of course…) for viva la vida. album and record of the year should of been coldplay

hahahahahaha @ 02/09/2009 at 2:42 am

where’s jen? hahahahaha sham romance she desperate and manless

hahahahahaha @ 02/09/2009 at 2:44 am

never heard of Raising Sand. jm only won coz he’s whit3

Hi jen fan!
The Grammy program just ended here in California. It ended at 11:30.
I was very happy John won two Grammy’s.But I was hoping he and
Alicia Keys would have won the collaboration Grammy,but two is better than none.
Let me know if you heard the Red Carpet interview,with Ryan and John.Don’t forget to watch John on Ellen’s show,tomorrow (Monday).
