*~* The Grammys - Are You Watching? - Feedback? - Agree or Disagree? *~* Hey,Hey,Paula

Just sittting here watching the Grammys and thought I'd get you all's feedback on the show. What do you think so far?

My favorite part so far was when they showed Luther and he spoke and sang to us. Still gives me chills and misty eyes. What a man with a voice!

An Alicia Keyes - whoa! Bless Celine Dion for fighting with bad sound equipment and pulling off an awesome performance of Luther's song!

I thought it was lame for Fifty Cent to walk through when his competition got the award -

One commercial I hadn't seen before upset me. It was the kids with the bars of soap in their mouths from saying a bad word when they saw a car that was hot. Plezzzz, get rid of the junk advertisers! Our youth deserve better recognition than that!

Well, back to the show! Love the Beatles' award! Long deserved!

Really a good show with outstanding entertainment! Keep it up and keep it clean!
