[Skiptastic]

Definitely going to TiVo this. I love the Grammys because of the opportunity for great moments that I don't see at the Oscars (and fuck everything else except the Tonys where I get to see awesome parts of Broadway shows I'll never see). Stuff like Imagine Dragons and Kendrick Lamar from a few years ago is what I'm tuning in for.

 

[Kaladin]

Rooting for Chris Stapleton to have another big night.

Everyone will be googling him tomorrow.

 

[jbug617]

Kendrick wil perform in the opening ceremony?

Nope it's Taylor Swift

 

[Bruce Springsteen]

Is this streaming online for free?

 

[Floridian]

Is this streaming online for free?

CBS is offering a stream for suscribers but it's free if people choose the trial.

I'll try to see if there's any other options that occur later.

 

[maxcriden]

How can stuff like uptown funk and 1989 be eligible? Didn't those come out in 2014?

 

[volgihn]

Kendrick better win everything

 

[JTripper]

Is Ye gonna be there?

It ain't the Grammy's without Ye.

 

[Kaladin]

How can stuff like uptown funk and 1989 be eligible? Didn't those come out in 2014?

Both came out after the Grammy release deadline in 2014 and thus weren't eligible under that year so they're in with the 2015 albums.

 

[Kraftwerk]

Is Ye gonna be there?

It ain't the Grammy's without Ye.

I hope so

 

[stupei]

Here for the Hamilton.

 

[Kaladin]

OP forgot a performance:

Chris Stapleton, Gary Clark Jr., and Bonnie Raitt will honor the late B.B. King, who died in May at the age of 89, at this year’s Grammy Awards, CBS announced Thursday. Clark and Raitt are both previous Grammy winners, while Stapleton is up for four awards this year.

[JTripper]

Lady Gaga is probably going to kill it and I'm also excited to see The Eagles perform. Kendrick is also going to have a big night.

Disappointed there aren't more classic acts performing but whatever.

[Dr.Acula]

Will this be the coronation of King Kendrick, or will #Grammyssowhite start trending after tonight?

 

[NHarmonic.]

Let's go "blank space" and 1989!

Such a solid pop album, swift deserves the wins.

 

[Kaladin]

Will this be the coronation of King Kendrick, or will #Grammyssowhite start trending after tonight?

So basically if your favorite doesn't win, you're going to ignore the rest of the show and cry racism?

 

[Soulscribe]

The setlist for Gaga's Bowie tribute leaked and all the songs I hoped would be there are (minus Starman but that's ok). I really hope she kills it.

 

[Moonkid]

Cast of Hamilton is performing a number live from Broadway as part of the show (between 8 PM and 10:30 PM)

Yo that's pretty dope.

 

[Dr.Acula]

I'm basically pointing out the two extreme reactions that will happen on the most reactionary social media platform.

Remember, GKMC losing out last time was a firestorm, if it happens again it will be the apocalypse.

 

[PeskyToaster]

hopefully Taylor Swift finally gets some awards love this year

 

[Psychological Intellect]

In for the Kendrick performance

mmhm. I saw the leaked rehearsal pics and they look crazy.

I Usually don't care about awards but I hope Kendrick wins fucking everything.

That would be a very extreme reaction considering the Grammys seem very inclusive of everyone regardless of race or genre of music.

 

[MrS]

Hope they honour Lemmy in some way. Also hope Taylor sweeps.

 

[Syntsui]

That would be a very extreme reaction considering the Grammys seem very inclusive of everyone regardless of race or genre of music.

Did you even watch the 2014 Grammy? That was exactly what happened and soft ass Macklemore even apologized for robbing Kendrick and recognized he was the one that deserved the Best Rap Album award..

 

[catapult37]

Here for the Hamilton.

Yes. Love the tag

 

[Dr.Acula]

That would be a very extreme reaction considering the Grammys seem very inclusive of everyone regardless of race or genre of music.

I'm talking about the #stans on twitter.

 

[Kusagari]

That would be a very extreme reaction considering the Grammys seem very inclusive of everyone regardless of race or genre of music.

The most celebrated hip hop album of the last 10 years couldn't even get an AOTY nomination.

 

[Thewonandonly]

In for the Kendrick performance

Yep same here. Will have to see who wins the greatest performance because even though I love kendrick and he has great stage perfomarnce jesus was all day incredible.

Beg for money?

Love you ye, but just go on tour to get that sweet green please

 

[Kaladin]

Hadn't heard about that regarding Best Rap Album. That could be one thing.

But if we're talking Album of The Year this year, if someone else won it wouldn't be another Macklemore situation because all of those albums are worthy of that praise.

 

[wenis]

If K.Dot doesn't walk away with it all, it'll be a travesty.

 

[Thewonandonly]

O god that performance was something incredible.

I agree, I don't think we will have anything like that this year. But if Kendrick doesn't win, there will be some uproar in regards to Grammy credibility (LOL) because it was the most critically acclaimed album last year. We always have these kind of reactions, whoever disputes it, so it will be business as usual.

I predict Kendrick will take the awards related to his genre, maybe even Song of the Year, but Album of The Year is a wide open field this year.

 

[Floridian]

It seems Lauryn Hill could be performing with The Weeknd. Interesting choice.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Here for the Hamilton.

Hamilton gonna steal the show.

 

[Syntsui]

It seems Lauryn Hill could be performing with The Weeknd. Interesting choice.

Wow, that would be amazing.

 

[User 85168]

Carrie and Lowell not nominated for anything?

 

[Floridian]

Wow, that would be amazing.

They were both seen together.

 

[TheAbsolution]

Please let K.dot win. Please please please.

 

[Junior Asparagus]

Not sure if this is the right place for this, but at Clive Davis's pre-show party last night, Beck performed with the surviving members of Nirvana to cover The Man Who Sold the World.

Congrats, she deserved it. Not one of my favorite albums by Swift but she set the bar high and achieved so much with it.

 

[MrV4ltor]

Taylor winning anything for vocals is kinda tragic, ngl.

 

[Azalean]
