I'd kiss her!

The 70's Fro was awesome!

Coldplay is not rock.

I don't think Mumford & Sons is rock either.

Man what happened to groups like Thin Lizzy, Zep, etc.

Yes I am old.

I guess cupcakes are something that doesn't kill you and makes you stronger. What a tank ass.

Hey Adele, meet Nutrisystems.

That lady was very happy...

ROFL qft on many levels ROFL

**** twitter

Did Twitter sponser this? Hash-tag......... LOL!

Brittney Spears just tweeted in that she thinks Rhianna is trashy. #dumbbitch

LOL, an inside beanie....

Jesus. The ****ers in this thread are like a bunch of people sitting around in a game thread on Sunday talking about how much better hockey is than football. Hey dumbasses. It's the Grammy's, not "let's relive the music of our high school prom."

Those look like some pricey brass knuckles she has there!

ROFL
Come on its a typical ChiefsPlanet music thread. You know if its popular or on the radio it sucks.

ROFLROFLROFL

That's a LOT of hats!

Exactly.

He's like a poor Mr. T....

Some skinny white chick just LOL'd!

ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

Hockey better than football? Have never seen that in a game thread. A better analogy would be a bunch if people talking about how much better football was before all the rules changes that have bitched up the game.

Music has gone downhill. I don't think that us even up for debate.

Oh, and STFU

:rolleyes:

Not really. At all.

People are just lazy or too stupid to find it.

That being said, it's not like I've not listened to Feist's 1-2-3-4 on look all day at work for the last two work days. I like new music, I just think a lot of the crap around it is just funny..... But that's not new either, it's just grown more stupid with each year.

Oh, the ACM Awards.... Sweeeeeet!

The problem I have with the Grammys is that at first they were reserved for musicians.

I used to belong to the NARAS (National Academy of Recording Arts & Sciences) and attended SXSW but quit. It's all politics now and preprogrammed bullshit.

There is a huge difference between "musicians" and "performers"

Timberlake, Beyonce, Spears, Rhiannon, etc. = performers

Beatles, Stones, Byrds, Fleetwood Mac, Nirvana, etc. = musicians

Bout time...

This is AWESOME!!! Love it!!

There's good music out there but it's not promoted by the labels or the media.

What you see on the Grammys for the most part is the shit they are selling.

Key word - SELLING.

It's not about good music, it's about record sales.

Black Keys suck.

That doose in the back is SOOOOOO ****ing cool!!!!

This.

**** you and Matt Barkley!

Some of it is better than others... honestly I think the idea that it is all shit is overblown because people love shitting on things as soon as they are popular. Which is fine...whatever. I find great music in every little corner of this life I can.

It just funny to watch people sit on their asses with their worn out 80s hair bands talking shit on today's music like they have any inkling of an idea how much interesting and diverse music is out there today.

Satan must have his dick in your ass! Lighten up friend!

Oh shit. Someone ate Kelly Clarkson!

Haha, well that is a new one. But yea I agree...they put out enjoyable music with a nice vibe.

Her belt has bling...

Nope just think they suck. Big ****ing deal.

I'd rep you for this but I can't do it from my tablet. Excellent post.

I don't think those doodes manscape!

I like some of their stuff but this made no sense.

The difference is that the good music used to be popular. You always had the music that was trumped up by image and gimmicks, but for the most part, if your music was good it was popular and on the radio. Today's music is all about gimmicks and marketing. The best musicians don't necessarily ever become popular because they don't have the right look, right publicist, or a good gimmick.

FYP

That's cool brother...... Go Chiefs...

Too fat/everyone

Someone told me Zepplin and Rush had never won a Grammy? That's incredible.

It all started with MTV.

Remember when MTV played MUSIC?

Now they play bullshit because it makes more money than music.

Same scenario as what you are witnessing tonight.

Meh. Stop listening to local radio.

Big deal that I think the Black Keys suck. I don't like any modern rock at all. I think it all blows. But the beauty about music is it doesn't really ****ing matter what any of us think. We all have different tastes in music.

Ok, I have heard like 2 Kerry Udnerwood songs and besides the fact she is cute, what is her claim to fame?

The market is much more saturated with music...the digital age just changes everything...are there huge marketing machines propping things up? Of course.

But the musical landscape is totally different...genres are broken down it is easier to make music people can go to the far corners of wherever to find exactly what they like.

If you are annoyed because not all the good music is popular...well who gives a ****?

There is good music everywhere why do you need someone else to validate it?

The shifting music landscape does not mean there is not good music. It is actually the opposite.

What do you mean?

She is a musician.

Some people like her songs.

I don't. Strictly Sirius/XM. I should keep a notebook in my truck and write down the good songs I hear from artists I've never heard of, but I just totaled out a vehicle in an accident so maybe that's not such a good idea.

Haha, I use soundhound if you have android or ios.

It is great...listens to the song for a bit. Identifies it. Catalogs it.

She is a musician?

I think she was ****ing Tony Romo....

Yes.

I don't think you even have to look as hard as you used to... say even 10 years ago. It just seems like there are more popular acts like the Mumfords/Black Keys/Lumineers, etc. who get radio airplay, popularity, etc.

That's really just the tip of the iceberg. If you really wanted to go back in time there's Michael Kiwanuka, Fitz & the Tantrums, etc... acts that truly sound like they came from decades ago. And they've still achieved some sliver of popularity.

Don't know if they did or not but it wouldn't surprise me.

How often do you hear the same tired music on a classic rock radio station?

I love Lynyrd Skynyrd but there is so much out there that never makes it on the air. How bout some Black Oak Arkansas or more CCR.

Back when I was in TV and radio we picked our own music and played what we wanted. If we had to take a shit we played Ina Goda Davida for 17 minutes.

Now the Program Directors pick the music and it's the same for their whole network of stations. You will hear the same classic rock music in Kansas City that you will hear in Houston if it's the same broadcast group with little to no variation.

They push what they want you to buy.

I have found a lot of great new bands listening to alt nation and spectrum.

What instrument does she play?

Sting... AWESOME!!!!

Vocals, guitar, piano.

Ok, well vocals is not an instrument, just fyi....but I was not aware of the guitar and piano. Again, I have heard little of her music I just always see her getting hype and her voice doesn't seem to justify said hype, imo but I didn't know about the other talents

Sometimes I listen to NPR not for the politics but because they play music I won't hear on commercial radio.

No, but it does make her a musician. Which is what led to the question.

She writes alot of her songs, plays the guitar and piano, puts on one hell of a concert, wins a ton of ****ing awards, makes a shit ton of money and is hot as hell. American Idol won the jackpot with her.

What that a pushup....????

She and Clarkson were made famous by American Idol which I have never watched.

Clarkson meh.

Carrie has talent and I'm sure she was playing out before the Idol gig.

But the Idol gig is what got her a record deal.

This ensemble included a popular artist that plays a lot on top 40 stations therefore it sucked.

Smoked many a spliff listening to Bob Marley records.

Oh yeah, I forgot she was an American Idol gig

Who said anything about needing someone to validate anything? My favorite band, The Counting Crows, is probably not on many people's top 5 list. I just hate seeing bad musicians propped up by the industry because they sell.

Some of us have busy lives and can't spend countless hours looking for good/new music. The only reason I'm even watching this is my Wife took our son out if town for a visit with the Granparents.

I can count on 1 hand how many minutes of American Idol I have watched

ROFL

technically I believe that would make her a singer, not a musician but whatever. Musician typically refers to someone who plays and instrument but again, whatever

I can on one finger.

Wow, 10 stars who never won a Grammy. Incredible
