It’s a shame that this man could have all this consideration in U.S. and a very great and talented singer like Anastacia is totally unknown!!!!!

mike walsh @ 02/09/2009 at 9:10 am

grammys are a joke!

what about nine inch nails?

what about jason mraz?

what about jack johnson?

what about stephen marley?

coldplays new album is just ok. kings of leon are a total breakout this year. screw the grammys..thats why no one watches them anymore.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?
robert plant is one of the best rock singers of ALL TIME - ever hear of a little band called led zeppelin? that album was amazing.

take your ******* jonas brothers & **** off. you people have no taste.

amy @ 02/09/2009 at 7:27

am people just face it: john mayer got these awards cause he was better.

the people that vote for the winners cant be bought. and no jennifer didnt hand him the award either.

it just S@cks to see that haters cant stand the fact that someone with true talent got what he deserved. But if 2 other people would win a certain oscar they dont deserve it would be all good.

Get a life and stop hating on people who actually work hard for what they deserve.
=====================================================

WELL SAID, I COULDN’T AGREE WITH YOU MORE. John is the most talented musician ever , well deserved and you HATERS don’t hate him because of two certain people(brangelina).

I ‘m so happy John Mayer won two emmys he deserves them

Wow, you people really don’t know who Robert Plant and Alison Krauss are?! Then you don’t deserve to have an opinion on the matter. Don’t sit and whine about John Mayor or The Jonas Brothers until you know a thing or two about music.

robert plant = lead singer of led zepplin
alison krauss = jazz singer? i dont know..

Well, therein lies my point. Alison Krauss is a very respected folk musician who has won more grammys than any other woman (a total of 26).

shoes4life @ 02/09/2009 at 10:54 am

It’s sad when this new generation don’t know true musicians. I mean Robert Plant, who is he?? Alison Krauss who is she?? Wow!

I guess unless the older generation of talented musicians has done a collaboration with a rapper , you don’t know them.

The people posting here who don’t know who Robert Plant is, you must be young, very young and seeing as though there are people praising the Jonas Brothers.

Robert Plant = Led Zepplin. They may not have deserved so many Grammies, but Robert Plant is a legend and the Jonas Brothers will disappear 5 years from now.

Love that Mayer is bringing back Hammertime. LMAO. He has been dressing silly since he started dating Jen. Jen let him go back to his long hair and reg. clothes.

Jason Mraz should’ve won even though john mayer is good too, but c’mon!! Jason Mraz is waayyyyyy BETTER!! and im happy kings of leon won too (: i wanted radiohead to take the album of the year award..andd i was stoked when they performed 15 step! my fave song from in rainbows :D

mattyjshorty @ 02/09/2009 at 12:54 pm

Who the fark is Robert Plant and Alison Krauss??
kings shud have won more..

This is my personal opinion. First of all, I did not watch the Grammy’s and it was my choice. Secondly, I find it funny that Robert Plant and Allison Krauss won 5 Grammys. I personally feel their album is kinda boring. I like Robert Plant’s old solo work and his work with Led Zeppelin. I never cared for Allison’s work but her version of “Big Log” is just as good as Robert’s version. If people like Plant’s and Krauss’s work, each of his or her own.

Sophie V. @ 02/09/2009 at 1:21 pm

I’m so disappointed that Jason Mraz didn’t win at all with those nominations! Such a bummer! This year is Jason’s year!

This whole award show was bull crap I think they should let america vote I wasted 3 hours of my life watchin people I never heard of win awards for songs and albums I never heard of damn shame!

Mayer the douche bag @ 02/09/2009 at 2:46 pm

The Grammys are a big joke. This dirt bag didn’t deserve nothing. This is what you get when you run the Hollywood streets ******** Hollywood who res. Jason don’t play Hollywood kiss up game like this douche bag do. I can’t stand Mayer any more.

Wow such haters. But then again what do you expect from 12 year olds. Ask any guitarist or real musician about John Mayer. Ask Eric Clapton, BB King, Buddy Guy, Herbie Hancock. They will all tell you he is an AMAZING musician. When you people say he sucks it is because you are pissed he has talent and you dont. I have seen over 200 concerts with of people from McCartney to The Allman Brothers to Snoop Dogg. Stop the hate because you only make yourself look dumb. But then again what do you expect from people who only listen to people who cant play music or write anything original

hahahahahaha @ 02/09/2009 at 2:42 am
“where’s jen? hahahahaha sham romance she desperate and manless“
……………………………………………………………………………………………………..

And SonyBMG’s unofficial artist soiree was held at the bar in the Beverly Hills Hotel, where John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston, Clive Davis, Carrie Underwood, T-Pain, Adele, Anthony Hamilton and Sara Bareilles gathered to toast the label’s big Grammy victories.

http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2009/02/09/kings-of-leon-coldplay-celebrate-grammy-wins-at-star-packed-afterparties/

…seems to me that if they were dating for attention she would have been right there on the RC with him…



Now on topic…i adore Jasons song…but Mayer is a talented musician…cant deny that…

Laura2 -

The guys got balls and has more talent than any other guy Jen has been with - then again I do think Tate Donavon is a good actor and much better then Pittster. Thanks for the rollingstone article…oh my god, the haters really crack me up - LMAO!

Yes, I’ve read interviews with BB King and Clapton and they just praised Mayer - damn he’s a talent.

Jason should be the winner, this zombie is a worthless media wh*re

The Grammys ain't sh!t @ 02/09/2009 at 5:02 pm

Just show hard work don’t get you sh!t in Hollywood but being a gay talentless douche bag and having sex with certain people do.
I can’t wait until the douche bag dump Jen again so all of Jen a$$hole fans can start cursing him out like they did before.

Annajonas @ 02/09/2009 at 5:12 pm

OMG jonas brothers soooo should have won! they were AMAZING with their performance. just goes to show that they should have won, they wrk hard every year! and their music is theeeeee best!
