What is pretentious about taking no notice of this whatsoever? Surely we don't need a faceless award ceremony to suggest music that most of us abhor?

Yeah, same here. I'm not being pretentious I just have no interest in any of these award ceremonies and think they are so ridiculous. No artists who are actually worthy are ever included even in the nominations and I just find it all very silly and pointless. Blah blah blah I know you've heard it all before but it's true and it is how I feel.

I'm not going to bother bolding who I think should win because I don't think most of those artists should win or even be included.

I agree with you 100%. I think it's all just another way for the winners' heads to inflate even more. Or rather, anyone who is even nominated.

I saw the very beginning just now - I can't believe that Elton John performed with Lady Gaga. I mean, has he really stooped down to that level?

CanwllCorfe · 01-31-2010, 07:23 PM

I'd like to participate for fun but I only REALLY know Dave Matthews Band's music. At least I used to anyway.. they bring back good memories. I'm not familiar with much of anyone else.

TheBig3 · 01-31-2010, 07:31 PM

I hope MGMT, and DMB pull it out.

Rickenbacker · 01-31-2010, 08:04 PM

Black Eyed Peas just performed...

That's more than I can take. Good night, Grammy's.

CanwllCorfe · 01-31-2010, 08:35 PM

DMB lost. That's the only category I was interested in.. oh well.
