I am sure that on Grammy's Monday, productivity of most people at work goes down by at least ten percent. In the first place we are all tired. Also, most of us are talking about our favorite artists. We are happy if they won, and we justify the winning to the fullest, and we show our regret if our favorite artists didn't 
win anything.
What is the criteria on which an artist gets an award? I would not know. I asked a few people and they said that it was complicated. Nevertheless we keep getting tips and clues from our television and radio announcements about different songs and different artists being nominated. So we watch in the hope of seeing someone we like get up and take the award. When that doesn't happen, we feel bad for the artist. What we don't realize is that to an artist winning is not everything.
Last night watching Sara Bareillis sing along side of Carole King made me realize that for an artist singing with someone they admire is more important than winning an ward.

I guess I missed them again this year. I think entertainers should give out more awards to themselves, because millions of dollars is not enough.
Some of the most amazing artists I have ever heard have never even received a nomination. Likewise, some of the worst artists i have ever heard win a Grammy.
Are the awards tonight? Darn, missed again..
I didn't even watch it.
I didn't watch them but I rarely watch TV...
I agree with you that singing with someone you admire would be better than winning the award... :)
I watched them but I was saddened because these modern artists just don't compare to the artists of the past :)
I do feel like and old foggie when it comes to music. Usually I listen to radio stations that play 50's thru 80's or Classical. I could not even name the musicians of today. Isn't that awful? I remember when my parents got that way and I really knew they were old then. lol
I had hoped to catch Ringo and Paul McCartney, but fell asleep and missed it all.
I didn't watch them, but I was glad Paul and Ringo reunited for their performance.
I didn't see it, but I'm sure it was very good.
It was on in my house, being watched a little by my teen daughters. I was satisfied by their occasional play by play instead of sitting down to watch.
By the way, I had to tell them who Carole King is... and I like the young Sarah Bareillis.
People tell me awards programs are just the entertainment industry patting itself on the back but, as my little grandson says, "WHY NOT?!" We all enjoy the show.
I'm so out of touch with the music scene and I rarely watch award shows. I find all the hype a bit much sometimes! But I'm glad you enjoyed it and I hope your favs won something!
A Business Phone Service not only makes communicating with clients easy, but it also helps generate leads so that a business can be more proactive in finding potential customers.
I don't watch it any longer. I saw a program about bands of the 1960s last night and felt I could relate to them, but I am totally lost to the new artists and their music. Old age, what can I say? Hope all is well with you.
Music is something that connects all of us. Even people who claim to not enjoy music can tell you their favorite songs.

I always find it interesting to see who is chosen for these awards. Rarely are they someone I would have chosen :)
I really enjoyed the Grammys this year. I thought many of the performances were great.

It's not often that I pick the "right" winner - I love indy music and enjoy lesser known artists. There are so many talented singers out there who have never gotten a break. Just because you can put on a dazzling concert with fireworks and pyrotechnics doesn't mean you can sing. Carole King's music is still amazing after all the years.
Hi Munir .. not my scene I'm afraid! But I enjoy catching up afterwards ... it's interesting isn't - being able to share and join in with your mentor - what an experience for Sara.
We can always learn in all situations .. sounds like Sara Bareillis is an artist I should keep my eyes open for .. or perhaps ears would be better!
Cheers and enjoy your weekend .. Hilary
Thank you. Love love, Andrew. Bye.
