it was so boring and long… urg.
People don’t be so upset. The fans don’t pick the winners. The members of the Recording Academy do. In other words, the corporate suits and the artist make the votes. Believe you me there are alot of votes brought, sold and traded for especially between the record label execs who want their artist to win. I’m just glad the Kings of Leon were recognized by their peers. Also, with John Mayer, with a commodity like him the label probably did buy the votes to see him win.
That’s it!!!! I’m totally done with the Grammys! next year they can kiss my @ss. Douche bag here can’t bother to make a real album. This piece of F-ck up stayed in the streets of Hollywood not working. Then stand around waiting for a Grammy. Oh he!! no…how they going to give this t#rd an award. His whole career is hype I believe Clay Cook wrote all his earlier songs any way.
I agree with TCB all the way.
Kings of Leon are awesome. Their last album “Only by the night” is amazing. I can’t stop listening to it. They should have gotten more awards but I guess they don’t kiss as much @ss as John Mayer. Each year John Mayer gets better on his knees.
I remember that whole payola scam when the radio stations where paid to pay certain artist music. Mayer’s song was named in that mess.
Some real intelligent people posting on here. Who is Robert Plant? I really trust musical opinions from someone who has never heard of Led Zeppelin…
The Grammys has a lot to do with record sales and since all us young people are illegally downloading music, the only people buying are the older crowd and that is why People like Robert Plant and Allison won.
I am a huge Jason Mraz and John Mayer fan. As much as I LOVE Jason Mraz. SAY is an amazing song and Gravity is one of the best performances I have ever heard. So get over your bitterness and accept it. They are talented differently.
Anyone who says John Mayer is riding Jennifer Aniston’s fame is an idiot. I like her, but she is famous for friends… and that is it. She is not doing anything now. John Mayer was a grammy award winner long before he started dating.. and who do you think people would pay more to see? Seriously…. Get a brain.
Such a disappointment, unless your old and have ****** tastes.
wow. what music has come too. early 2000’s is probably going to be remembered as when rock and alternative music almost died. hell they dont classify things right anymore. makes me sad what music has come down to
Why don’t you guys get your head out of your butts. The only ones making good music today are the real ones from the 60’s and 70’s. You people don’t have a clue what music is. The grammys are a joke and will always be a joke. Broaden your horizons a little.
is this serious? people debating about mayer and plant/krauss. I mean how many cds were released in 2008. yeah mayer is good but will u be listening to his stuff 20 years from now. will anyone? Robert Plant has had more effect on pop music than anyone that stood on that stage last night…except steveie wonder, and he didn’t need allison to do it. As far as putting Mayer in the catergory with King,Clapton,Hancock,etc….They are innovators Mayer is still a student.
I am a total die hard Brad and Angie fan.I am also a long time fan of John Mayer. I have been a fan every since he was on a gig that BBKing was doing. I enjoyed the way the Blues Boy King was enjoying John playing on that little jam session at the grammy last night. I wish he would do more of his musical work. Good luck John and stay the good guy you have always been.
First of all, how is Jason a poser ( whoever commented that) ? He is in it for the music and you can tell because he is barely in the media for anything but. Hes been touring pretty much every day for the past year, putting on amazing shows for his fans. Honestly within the past year, I’ve only seen john mayor pimping out the cameras on tmz or being with jen. I feel like he tries to hard to be in the cameras and to have the spotlight on him. He loves the attention a little too much.
Granted john mayor may have talent, the award was for this year alone. Jason should have gotten it because this year ” I’m yours” was everywhere. Most people only know mraz for his fast talking songs from 2002, but “I’m yours” showcased his vocial. He has an amazing voice and i hope people continue to listen. All of his songs now and past ones are truely amazing.
I don’t think he is a bad musician, he is a good guitar player but somehow all his songs sound somewhat familiar, as if he borrows (let’s put in nicely ;-) ) a lot of stuff….. I like the Kings of Leon so much better, they one of the few bands that have their own recognizable sound. I think their Grammy is well deserved. There are so many great musicians and songwriters out there that never have gotten a grammy, but have made wonderfull albums that will still be around in 20 years. Life isn’t always fair, and neither are award shows.
He’s untalented and boring, as well as his girlfriend!!! C’mon 2 grammys are toooo much for him!! He’s known only in U.S. …
His outfit sucked but it’s what’s underneath that counts =)
Timberlake sucked as usual, jeez, so sick of this guy
HeLl yEa liL WaYnE WoN hElL YeA *** AlL ThEm hAtErZ dA HaTE oN LiL WaNyE
This douche bag got a Grammy for being an escort. I didn’t know you could get a Grammy for escorting Jennifer Aniston because he sure did not work with music to earn this. I hope Mayer gags on his ill gotten awards. He should be ashamed of him self but oh I forgot he don’t have a conscience.
No way did he earn those Grammys
i love duffy!
extremely happy for her and rockferry!
good luck
you all suck,the jonas brthers suck,T.I and lil wayne cuk and everyone who won sucks.It should have all been gangsta rap.
