Unh huh. Sure.
Pack of liars, they are.
Music today is garbage. The "Best Group of the Year" is usually never around for a second album. It's been like that for nearly twenty years running.
With Chris Rock as the emcee, the Academy awards are headed for the toilet. Rock, a butt kissing Bill Clinton lover is just a low life, gutter snipe. Add to that, the Mel Gibson epic film "The Passion of the Christ" was passed over by the "Hollywood" elites for major awards and you have the making of a bad night for Hollywood. Maybe these idiots will one day learn to keep their politics to themselves, but I doubt we will ever see that day!!!
Gee, how'd they miss that excuse? Music sales are in the dumps and they expect that to translate into a huge Grammy viewing? I dare anyone to hum an Usher tune.
Amen.......
Low class scum have ruined the music business.
Ya think?
In the article they meant no dominant film among the nominees.
haha.......I agree but isn't that what my parents said to me back in the 70s.......however, I can't really relate to "Rap" as music in any culture.......Rap makes Disco look like Mozart.......
"I'm wondering if there are so many awards shows that they have lost some of their specialness,"
I'm sure that former viewers who are fed up with the elitists anti-american arrogance, the lack of talent, and the absence of humility and class amongst the presenters, performers, and recipients has absolutely nothing to do with it.
How conveniently ignorant.
An entire generation that never learned how to play an instrument, learned nothing about music theory or songwriting. They punch in a simple drum pattern, maybe create a childish one finger melody and yell and swear on top of it. Sorry, that ain't music. The industry is a disgrace. And they wonder why nobody's buying.
By now, flyover country is quite familiar with all of the outrageous behavior, the F-bombs and the Bush-bashing from the Grammys and Oscars. By alienating half of America's population with their leftist tripe and the insufferable garbage they produce, the entertainment industry has dug a deep hole which they, in their infinite wisdom, keep digging deeper.
Yo........ I'm inclined to knock music!
I agree. Rap disgusts me --the message, the image, everything about it I find abhorrant. Am I too old? I was a huge fan of British metal back in the 1980s and many "old" people back then found that type of music as repulsive as I find rap today.
Of course, one could dislike metal and still see that the musicians who played it had some amount of talent. Certainly it took some practice to acquire the technical skill that metal required in guitar, drums, bass and vocals. I just do not see where rap (especially that Atlanta "crunk" sound) requires any skill whatsoever.
That being said, I like Eminem --not as a rapper as much as the humor and satire found in his music.
I think all the hate leveled towards President Bush is the result of the low ratings.
And there you have it!! I have not been to a movie, rented one, listened to any radio other than conservative talk,in the last 7 months and could not care less about rich, screeching, hate mongering, low class, uneducated morons. Did I leave anything out?
Let's sink the oscars also. Gawd I hate Hollywierd.
Best Group of the Year ?
No such award.....Maybe you mean Best New Artist
And actually the winner of the most awards this year was the late great Ray Charles.
Other awards went to U2 who are all in their 40s now and still holding up great.
Overall it was a very good Grammys. Much better than the one I attended 6 years ago.
More rock, less rap last night.
