I wasn't impressed AT ALL. It was one bad mix of music after another. Pink was ok. The performance was great but, that was more like a Cirque show than a Grammy show performance.
The Beatles ...They should stop singing and call it.

I agree with you about the Beatles , in that Paul and Ringo, should stop performing their "Beatles" songs. While , as The Beatles, they were without a doubt THE leading edge group of their time, and like them or not, their songwriting is historically one of the most prolific success stories, and they led the way in the changing styles of that era's youth, etc, etc.......but just like the Rolling Stones, Elton John, and other 60s/70s acts, they've gone from exciting to embarrassing, they need to PLEASE stop. Todays music, for the most part, does a sufficient job of sucking on it's own without yesterdays aging heroes adding more stink to the soup. Beatles, Stones, ETC...I have darned near all of their albums...you were good the first time. You can never do it as well again...It's OK...time marches on...age gracefully. I know something on this topic, as I was once a professional musician/singer.
What I have to say about all these "awards" shows, is that these celebrities seem to be so insecure, that they feel compelled to keep patting each other on the backs, with awards show after awards show, add nauseum . Just like the Golden Globes, and Oscars show, it's really more celebrating each other conceitedly. If I really like an artist I'll show them by buying their recording. But, by far, one of the most insulting propositions of all of the awards shows, is the constant posturing politically of so many of these wealthy two-faced elite. Regardless of any well-meaning rhetoric, it's just so popular use the show as a political forum. Your words are hollow, lead by example people, I don't need your lecture.

The Beatles changed the world .... everything!! ..... lucky to still have Paul and Ringo around to perform!! .... mind boggling how many songs they wrote in such a short span of maybe 7-8 years.
