Since it seems I like in a closet I don't who she is and don't think I've ever heard the song.

When the Grammies were on I walked through as some black chick was shackled to a big wheel chanting weird stuff.

Asked my daughter what in the heck was that. Got the “Oh, Daddy” with the big eye roll.

Then you're missing out, in a sense. She's a "plus size" working class English girl, who doesn't dress sleazy, and just gets up there and sings. Extremely well. The song caught, I think because the theme was a true story for her having a broken heart because she was ditched by the guy she loved. No obscenity, no sexual references, nothing. Just a not very attractive girl singing like she meant it.

I'm pretty much an Allman Brothers/Pink Floyd kind of guy, but that woman can sing.

Me too. Before last night I’d never heard of her. She seems like a pretty decent lady. I was pretty amused that Gaga was so ignored.

Mrs Wbill and I surfed into the Grammys while the Beach Boys were on.

They still hit the harmonies well.

Rest of it? I dunno. I know so little about pop music anymore that I can't comment. Most all it all either 1) sounds the same to me or 2) was stuff that I already heard 10, 15 or 20 years ago.

I'm sure that my dad would say the same thing to me. Pop culture never changes, it just recycles itself. Rarely is there any real innovation.

I never watch the Grammys, but did watch them last night and none of my FB friends liked the act you mention. We couldn’t figure out what was going on. I had it muted tho since I couldn’t stand to listen to it. It didn’t seem like entertainment. It was more fun to read what people were saying. Adele was great tho. That girl has talent.
