HIGHLIGHTS
- Arcade Fire winning!
- Arcade Fire playing two songs!
- That one girl whom i'd never heard of, thus not having a reputation as an annoying pop star, winning best new artist.
- The Biebs face when he lost best new artist.
- Seth Rogen's Miley Cyrus joke.
- The 3 second clip of Alex Chilton singing "The Letter" during the obituaries.
- the half-a-second muted clip of the Ramones when they won their grammy lifetime achievement award.
- The picture of Don Vliet during the obituaries.

LOWLIGHTS
- Bob Dylan sounding like he had a dying cat in his throat during "Maggie's Farm".
- Pretty much everyone's performance (except Arcade fire's, of course.)
- When Gywenth Paltrow came in during the middle of "Fuck You" and started dueting with Cee-lo. like seriously! What the fuck was that?!
- When, during the obituaries, they put Malcolm McLaren and Don Vliet on the same slide together. Come on! Don deserves more than being next to that douchebag. They should have paid tribute to him instead of solomon burke, honestly (No offense to SB of course, but c'mon! it's captain beefhart! imagine frownland on TV!)
- Trish Keenan, Andy Hummel, Ari Up etc. not being in the obituaries.

Also, i love how the suburbs has gone up like 40% in this thread since the grammys have ended. 😮

So...you expect Arcade Fire to come out with another album next year?

*ba-dum-bum-PISH*

Lol! Actually, I have yet to even hear that album, but their first is a classic, and it had to be better than what it was up against.

But I did pay a bit of attention this year. And I was happy to see Iron Maiden, Neil Young, and Paul McCartney win Grammys �'�

And overjoyed at the fact that justin Bieber won no, none, 0 Grammys \:D/

I lost interest in 1978 when a Taste of Honey beat Elvis Costello as best new artist.

Ya that's messed up when Elvis Costello got beat by a band with one hit song called Boogie Oogie Oogie 🙄

This was the first Grammys I've watched in around 15 years. Not that I cared, it was just on.

I was happy to see that Muse won Best Rock Album for The Resistance. Of course, since it came out in the fall of 2009, it was kind of confusing why they won the award for 2010. But oh, well. The Grammys will do what the Grammys will do.

So glad Recovery didn't won AOTY, it didn't deserve to be the third hip-hop album ever to win

yeah i thought that then checked the eligibility period is from like october the year before to September the current year. It's another reason the Grammy's always come across as dated. So My Beautiful twisted fantasy should be in the next grammys.

That is completely absurd.
