I think I'm one of the sane ones, who is quite disappointed that Chris Brown was invited to perform.
As a woman, I feel disrespected and I'm shocked that people doesn't seem to mind it. Yes, I haven't moved on and I don't think I ever will.

I agree with you so much, he should be banned from music scene, thats not something to forgive. That is such a bad example for society that you can beat people and still be successful, horrible...

I had to post this:

this is just embarassing and sad.


Im so glad about Adele's awards and her performance was beautiful. She was looking the best on the red carpet for me too. (And im not even a fan lol).

I think whole Nicki Minaj crap is just tasteless, especially considering Whitney's death, and her 'song' is so lame. I had some respect for her back then when she was unknown, but right now she's just acting stupid on every song or collab and it doesnt sound like anything. (And Im not even a hater).

I liked Rihanna's dress on red carpet and was not satisfied with her performance but she did her best I guess, I cant expect something breathtaking from her performance or vocal wise, but I really do like her lol, no matter how it seems from my comments.

Jessie J looked super awsome too, I like her with bangs and longer hair.

Im so sad Bieber didnt come, thats not a good decision in my book. I wanted to watch Grammys because of him.

Taylor Swift had a beautiful dress too and was so cute, Im glad about her achievement too.

I hated Fergie's and Kelly Rowland's dresses, but loved Lady Gaga's. Oh, and J.Cole was so sexy

It doesnt have to do with a show but Britney was so cute at the pre-grammy party.

This was Adele's year so I expected that. I think Gaga deserved something, though

I usually don't watch the Grammys, but there was a lot I wanted to see. Nice to see Skrillex get an award, but I like deadmau5's album a lot more. Paul McCartney was amazing, outperformed people half his age, etc. I wish Mumford and Sons would have won something, but I'm very happy for Adele and the Foo Fighters since they both had great albums.

I was rooting for Mumford and Sons this year. The Cave is one of my favorite songs for lyrics, so I had hoped they would have gotten something for the song.

Katy Perry pretty much comfirmed my belief that she can't sing. Same goes to Rihanna.

I wanted Lady Gaga to win something, but it really was Adele's year. Maybe with the next album, she will have a more mainstream sound.

I was happy for Adele, but meh. The Grammys remain a total joke.

and idk about chris brown, okay. I love my riri, and when those pictures leaked, I was really upset...

The guy has alcohol issues....I mean...people are treating him like a rapist or murderer...should his life be over....man, idk.

In any case, his music was crap, so I wonder who he had to buy to secure a performance.

^ The thing is, he showed no remorse whatsoever, and at one point even told everyone to **** off because everyone makes mistake and they should just deal with it. He demand people's forgiveness without even apologizing.

I actually thought Rihanna sounded great. Nicki Minaj's performance was just awful.

^I was a little disappointed with her lack of power, but I think she's trying to play it safe so she can adjust properly.
