B.O.B. with a monocle. Love it. Not a bad performance but they should speed it up after the chorus here and ditch the orchestra.

The performances are much more interesting than pointless awards so it makes sense.

Bruno Mars can sing. But turn down the volume on that hair, son. Damn.

Not to mention, who actually watches to see who wins "Best Performance by a 1 Legged Pop Duet"

Well, the song and his look have an old school (50's) feel so why not?

Can't believe he was rocking a monocle!

I like this arrangement for Grenade. Bruno Mars is a pretty talented singer.

The grammy's are about pop music. You said it yourself earlier that Zeppelin/Floyd/etc. never won one. Why would anyone think that would change now? Good music exists, but mostly out of the grammy-type stuff.

I would much rather watch performances than seeing them pat each other on the back w/ awards.

Bruno gets props from me for belting and then rocking some set right after.

That was me who said that. I'm just waiting on Dre really. I have on mute otherwise with some Physical Graffit going on in the background.

Mumford and Sons and the Avett Brothers are very good, surprised they are going to be on! That is more my style.

Ha nice, I am just procrastinating some work, and nothing else is really on and I always like watching live performances, even not so great ones. I have always liked that Grammy's don't allow lip synching.

Same here. Once Eminem and Dre perform, I'm finished with this lol
