Rap and bowties? Now I've seen everything.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:07 PM Stranger Staff

LL missed a prime chance to drop a verse from "Big Ole Butt."

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:08 PM Stranger Staff

Beyonce is gorgeous and talented and I love her.

Also, Macklemore has a good listening face.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:08 PM

Why don't we get it live? Is it because there's no way anyone who watches 60 MINUTES could stay up until 8pm?

madamecrow on January 26, 2014 at 8:09 PM

Daft Punk's helmet realness. That's commitment.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:10 PM

Pharrel's hat is positively Hayzee Fantayzeeian.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:12 PM

Best New Artist for Macklemore and Ryan Lewis!

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:14 PM

WHOA MACKLEMORE GREEN VELVET. His skin looks nice. His fiancé looks nice, too.

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 8:15 PM

Macklemore: "We made this album without a record label." YAY!

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:16 PM Stranger Staff

I wish anyone, ever, would let Ryan Lewis talk!

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 8:16 PM

Ryan Lewis never got to say a thing.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:17 PM

The 'push you off the stage music' came up right when he started to talk about making the record without a major record label ... Hmmmm.

edlorah on January 26, 2014 at 8:19 PM

Cards on the table: Most of the contemporary music I like sells in the three or four figures. I can’t really relate to this shit.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:19 PM Stranger Staff

AND ryan walked back down the stairs into the audience!

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:20 PM

Macklemore:Penn::Ryan Lewis:Teller

stinkbug on January 26, 2014 at 8:21 PM

paula poundstone on facebook: "Mackelmore & Ryan Lewis say their fame spread "organically," which means it's really expensive, and available at Whole Foods."

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:22 PM

It's even worse than that: apparently, the only way to watch the actual broadcast, as opposed to the vapid "red carpet", "backstage" and "loading dock" feeds, is to have a television.

And the music "industry" wonders why it's becoming increasingly irrelevant. "Adapt or die", isn't just a quaint turn of phrase.

COMTE on January 26, 2014 at 8:22 PM

fuck macklemore.

betsybadthing on January 26, 2014 at 8:22 PM

fyi: For those who don't want to watch the entire show, you can turn back into your TV around 11pm to watch M&RL (and others) perform.

stinkbug on January 26, 2014 at 8:23 PM

fuck macklemore

betsybadthing on January 26, 2014 at 8:23 PM

Segal: Never mind the music. Just judge everyone on their looks.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:24 PM

@18: but Ryan Lewis can't lose.

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 8:24 PM

This song is bullying me to suicide.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:26 PM

Too much aural high fructose corn syrup up in this piece.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:27 PM Stranger Staff

who is this cute babydyke singing some slow song??

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:27 PM

Hunter Hayes' eyebrows are trending.

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 8:27 PM

Damn it, I can't read the inspirational Johnny Depp quote!

madamecrow on January 26, 2014 at 8:28 PM

It's about time somebody treated Lady Gaga statements with the respect they deserve.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:28 PM

Baby Leonardo DiCaprio, aka Hunter Hayes, makes music your mom's mom loves to weep to. Or something like that.

I don't get it.

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 8:29 PM

and what relevance does johnny depp have to this show?

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:29 PM

This pot cookie needs to kick in posthaste.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:30 PM Stranger Staff

It's nice to see Nile Rodgers happy.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:30 PM

are they going to speek or just bleep blorp

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:31 PM

Daft Punk robot helmets probably smell like really bad breath. Sorry. TRUE.

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 8:31 PM

Everyone in the music industry should wear helmets.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:31 PM Stranger Staff

"Are those things air-conditioned?" —Derek Erdman

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 8:32 PM

what WAS katy perry smoking in that globe?

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:34 PM

What I would give for that giant crystal ball. (But "witchy" Katy Perry? Hmmmm...)

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 8:35 PM

The Katy Perry performance. Also known as "poop break."

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:35 PM

I watch this fucking show every year and I have no idea why.

For Pharrell's hat, I guess.

Lotta goth shit going on here. Man, this Katy Perry song is crap.

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 8:35 PM

Is Katy Perry's performance an advertisement for the MALEFICENT movie?

madamecrow on January 26, 2014 at 8:35 PM

This dreary Katy Perry song is a tragic waste of dry ice.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:35 PM Stranger Staff

Katy Perry + some witch shit + fire + broomstickery = missed porn opportunity

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 8:38 PM

I finally found out why Macklemore is so beloved. Whenever anyone writes about him, someone keeps editing out the three words out of every sentence that make all the fawning make sense. Fixed-

Macklemore is a pioneering rap artist [because he's white]. Despite making his album without a label, he quickly achieved unprecendented popularity [because he's white]. He was unique [because he's white] in making politically-conscious rap. He almost immediately achieved prominent spots on nationwide talk shows, variety shows, magazines, and radio [because he's white]. All this while maintaining a family-friendly and media-friendly image [because he's white].

raku on January 26, 2014 at 8:38 PM

I love this Katy Perry Applebee's commercial.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:40 PM

Robin Thicke with Chicago? Holy crap, it IS 1974.

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 8:41 PM

Dave Segal is like the food critic sent to review the grand opening of the new Taco Bell in the mall food court.

Gern Blanston on January 26, 2014 at 8:43 PM

fuck robin thicke. with a jagged telephone pole.

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:43 PM

Cue kids on Twitter asking "what is Chicago?"

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 8:44 PM

Why the hell aren't Thicke and Chicago doing "I'm A Man"?

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:44 PM Stranger Staff

He came out of Alan Thicke's wang.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:45 PM

JUST ANY MUSICIANS. WHOEVER WITH WHOEVER. AS LONG AS THERE'S A BACKUP SINGER IN A BUSTIER.

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 8:45 PM

Robin Thicke is shockingly untalented. I don't get it. He can't fucking sing at all.

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 8:45 PM

I feel like I'm at my dentist's office waiting room right now.

madamecrow on January 26, 2014 at 8:46 PM

Robin Thicke should've never moved beyond singing on the child beauty pageant circuit.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:47 PM

I'm currently annoying the crap out of Mrs. Fnarf by singing along to the Chicago hits (most of which I know the words to, sadly).

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 8:47 PM

"Blurred Lines" is so Gaye.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:47 PM Stranger Staff

Robin Thicke and Chicago: like a Bellevue Megachurch.

edlorah on January 26, 2014 at 8:47 PM

I wish I was going deaf.

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 8:48 PM

Kelly's frequent refrain: "WHO?!" Mine: "WHY?!"

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:48 PM Stranger Staff

Is that KD Lang?

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 8:49 PM

Keef Herbin', ladies and gentlemen.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:50 PM Stranger Staff

I can't even tell if I'm listening to music at this point.

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 8:50 PM

He came out of Nicole Kidman's wang!

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:50 PM

Keith Urban has a more lesbian haircut than Justin Bieber and/or most lesbians I know. Dang.

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 8:50 PM

It's kind of cool to see a live slog just beginning on the web about a TV event that just finished on the web.

TomJohnsonJr on January 26, 2014 at 8:51 PM

It isn't really a shitty Awards show unless Dave Grohl shows up .... oops ... there he is ...

edlorah on January 26, 2014 at 8:51 PM

His real name is Keith Black. They changed it so he'd make the Billboard charts.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:51 PM

Somewhere George Benson is crying/laughing at this guitar solo.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 8:52 PM Stranger Staff

I wanna know more about this "creative take on water".

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 8:54 PM

"Taylor Swift looks a doily" - Derek Erdman

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 8:55 PM

i am saddened that i won't get to see the queen latifah-led mass(ish) wedding...downton abbey will bring me more joy than this show ever could.

jezbian on January 26, 2014 at 8:56 PM

66: That's the spirit!

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 8:57 PM

John Legend: the designed driver of contemporary pop.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 9:00 PM

DESIGNATED! Hic!

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 9:00 PM

Last time I watched the Grammys was 1983, when I reviewed it for my college paper. So this is the second mistake I've made in my life.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 9:01 PM Stranger Staff

Best rock song by an artist seventy years old or more.

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 9:03 PM

Macca looks good—maybe TOO good.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 9:04 PM Stranger Staff

Noveselic dresses like such a delightful din-dong.

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 9:05 PM

Whoa, a member of the Germs has a Grammy. #probablynotpunk

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 9:05 PM

Nirvana finally gets a Grammy. Kinda with the Beatles. Kinda with the Germs?

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 9:05 PM

TAYLOR SWIFT IS NOT COUNTRY MUSIC

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 9:05 PM

Taylor Swift song makes me think I should get some new mom jeans.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 9:06 PM Stranger Staff

Taylor Swift has driven Dave Segal to a second pot cookie.

David Schmader on January 26, 2014 at 9:06 PM

Wondering when she was gonna go crazy with the hair ....

edlorah on January 26, 2014 at 9:08 PM

No headbangs at a piano, Taylor Swift. NO ONE.

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 9:08 PM

Taylor Swift: maybe she's born with it, but it's probably Maybelline.

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 9:08 PM

STOP STOP STOP WITH THE PIANO.

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 9:08 PM

Nice Don Music impression, Ms. Swift!

madamecrow on January 26, 2014 at 9:10 PM

Tay Tay has very emotional shoulders.

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 9:13 PM

You may find this unbelievable, but I’m a million times happier commenting about music I love than I am eviscerating music I hate.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 9:13 PM Stranger Staff

Two and a Half Men is still on TV???

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 9:15 PM

Are they gonna mention Lou Reed or Richie Havens tonight?

edlorah on January 26, 2014 at 9:15 PM

"The heart loves hating, and the heart hates loving." I think Google's telling us more here than they intend to.

Fnarf on January 26, 2014 at 9:16 PM

Bruno Mars: maybe he's born with it, but it's probably Maybelline.

Emily Nokes on January 26, 2014 at 9:16 PM

If she'd come up as an indy artist out of Portland, OR, all the Taylor Swift haters would be praising her to no end.

Taylor's a welcome antidote to the pop-music-by-numbers that I just heard from Beyonce and Katy Perry.

cressona on January 26, 2014 at 9:17 PM

No *ONE* headbangs. (too much wine, not enough pot cookie)

Kelly O on January 26, 2014 at 9:17 PM

Wait, how DID you meet my mother?

derek_erdman on January 26, 2014 at 9:17 PM

Pink with a song that's setting back acrobatics 40 years.

Dave Segal on January 26, 2014 at 9:19 PM Stranger Staff

100

Working without a net. Pretty impressive, I guess. The song even has a bit of a tune.
