well of course Stevie and Norah were great - but it is VERY hard to sing properly when you are singing with a bunch of out of tune people - try it sometime! LOL Bono made "U2" into "U DIDN'T!"- And that Brian Wilson - he looks like he doesn't even know where he is, who he is or what day it is - it was really atrocious...I say they should have let Alicia Keys, Stevie and Norah tear it up for charity and send the rest home...mike4949 said:

I can't stand Kanye West - he is pompous, arrogant and the way he has acted when he has lost awards to fellow artists is just disgraceful - he needs a reality check - the way you treat people on the way up is a good indication of the way people are going to treat YOU on the way down...Enigma said:

Loved Jennifer Lopez & Marc Anthony's performance, they put out a beautiful emotional performance and sounded great!The song is a little sad and almost made me cry, loved it.
Loved Green Day, they rocked!
Loved Janis joplin tribute, Melissa Ethridge & Joss stone, sounded great!
Gwen Stefani, Jennifer Lopez, Ashanti, Cyndi Lauper, Ricky martin,Green Day, Eve-were all my favorite best dressed and all looked great and Jennifer definitly takes best dressed.

The show began with numbers of a different sort: five bands performing on four stages. The Black Eyed Peas kicked things off with their ubiquitous hit "Let's Get It Started," before segueing to Gwen Stefani and Eve for a pirates-and-bling production of Stefani's "Rich Girl." They were followed by black-clad rockers Los Lonely Boys; Maroon 5 appeared next, frontman Adam Levine rocking what looked like one of his dad's suits from 1977. And finally, Franz Ferdinand ripped through a muscled-up version of their song "Take Me Out."
All five acts then sped through a sort of live "mash-up," trading licks and choruses of each other's hits.
John Travolta, Christina Milian and Steven Tyler then presented the first award of the live broadcast — for Best Pop Performance With Vocals — which went to Los Lonely Boys. Nelly and Adam Sandler — the stars of the upcoming film "The Longest Yard" — presented the award for Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, which went to Prince, for his song "Call My Name."
U2 took the stage clad in black and bathed in white light. Before beginning, a somber (and cowboy-hatted) Bono dedicated the song "Sometimes You Can't Make It on Your Own" to his late father, Bob Hewson.
The award for Best Rock Album went to Green Day for American Idiot, their first win of the evening. As they walked to the stage to accept their award, they received congratulatory handshakes from Aerosmith's Tyler. While wrapping up their acceptance speech, frontman Billie Joe Armstrong held his golden gramophone aloft and announced that "rock and roll can be dangerous and fun at the same time."
Up next were a couple of big-time performances, one of them featuring an actual couple. Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony duetted in Spanish in an elaborate number that featured moody lighting, a gilded bedroom and at least two wardrobe changes from J. Lo. That was followed by a tribute to Southern rock, highlighted by nominee Gretchen Wilson and Lynyrd Skynyrd frontman Johnny Van Zant duetting on the band's classic tune "Free Bird."
A gangsta-fied Quentin Tarantino — wearing a stocking cap and parka — introduced Green Day, who blasted through a pyro-and-American-flag-backed performance of "American Idiot," Armstrong chicken-walking his way across the stage and thrusting his guitar triumphantly in the air. Keys then picked up her fourth award of the night, for Best R&B Album.
British soul diva Joss Stone and Melissa Etheridge ran through throaty covers of the Janis Joplin standards "Cry Baby" and "Piece of My Heart," paying tribute to the woman who had just been honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. That was followed by Tim McGraw, who performed "Live Like You Were Dying," the tune that won him the Best Country Song award earlier in the ceremony.
But McGraw was edged out in the Best Country Album category by Loretta Lynn and her Jack White-produced Van Lear Rose. It was the second Grammy Lynn took home for the LP, having already won earlier in the night for the track "Portland Oregon," her duet with the White Stripes frontman.
The award for Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group With Vocals went to U2 for "Vertigo," and a somewhat stunned Bono thanked the crowd before turning the mic over to Larry Mullen Jr., who apologized to U2's fans for their Internet ticket presale snafu.
Bono, Stevie Wonder, Norah Jones, Keys, Velvet Revolver, Armstrong and Brian Wilson all took the stage for a cover of the Beatles' "Across the Universe." Viewers can go to CBS.com to download the live performance of the song for 99 cents. All proceeds will go to tsunami-relief efforts benefiting survivors and their families.
Earlier on, during the pre-televised ceremony, the first batch of Grammy Award winners were announced. And for some Grammy favorites, the ceremony got off to a golden start right then.
Jay-Z won the award for Best Rap Solo Performance for his Rick Rubin-produced track "99 Problems." And show starters the Black Eyed Peas nabbed the Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group Grammy for their song "Let's Get It Started."
In the pop music category, Charles took top honors, winning for Best Vocal Album. Norah Jones won Best Female Performance for "Sunrise," while John Mayer won the Best Male Performance for his song "Daughters."
U2's "Vertigo" walked off with the award for Best Rock Song, and it was also tops in Best Short Form Music Video category. The clip, directed by the tandem of Alex & Martin, bested videos from Green Day (for "American Idiot") and Franz Ferdinand ("Take Me Out"), among others.

Missed most of the show, but I did flip back and forth. I did catch Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's performance, but I wasn't too taken by it.
But I would love someone to translate some of the song for me. 😀

I really, really don't mean any disrespect, but WHERE did U have your EARS!?!?! Marc's voice was to die for (as always), but J.Lo???? Ay dios mio! 3 times I recall she tried hitting one particular high not & all 3 the Gallos were comin' out! She made me wanna barf.
There was also no chemistry in there performance. After that performance, I felt so sick I switched the channel & watched Desperate Housewives to make me feel better!

My husband was having issues w/ me & calling me a hater cuz I kept saying how horrible she sounded.. She REALLY has no business singing ballads.. I'm sorry.. She can do her pop and hip hop cuz u know the music over powers vocals but ballads? NO! Please keep those for "in studio" recording only because they can fix anything !Putana said:

I agree with you ladies.. Marc Anthony is ALWAYS on point! That song was supposed to fill you with passion.. i couldnt feel it! Sorry to say but Jenn just didn't do it!!! Now if it were Alicia Keys and Marc Anthony then it would've been more believable!!!
