I Owe It All To John D'Oh
|
There were some fun performances. My favorite was the opening act, where Lady Gaga and Elton John did a mash-up of Elton John'sYour Song and Lady Gaga'sSpeechless, with both playing piano. I'm sure LE loved that one. The cast of the musical American Idiot was also pretty good singing One Twenty One Guns with Green Day. The Zac Brown Band was pretty impressive, too, accompanied by Leon Russell. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFrUJM-fBrM I didn't watch it last night, but I was impressed. We saw EJ and BJ in their tour last year, and BJ couldn't hold a candle to EJ. LG can, and I'd sooner watch them together in a concert. |

The only award show that beats the Oscars for pretentiousness.

I'm inclined to agree with you, but isn't over the top pretentiousness the whole point of the entertainment industry? It didn't become a bazillion dollar industry by acting like a bunch of actuaries at their national convention in the quad cities. |

HOLY CARP!!!

I like their voices together, and would be interested in hearing more. What I dislike about that performance most is the self-congratulatory crap. A real turn off. Sing me your song and let me decide if you're great or not. |
