About the only relevant three minutes of the Grammys....

I LOVE marching bands (four years of high school clarinet will do that to you). I'm glad Radiohead do too. "15 Step" lends itself nicely to all the brassy, percussive stomp of a pep rally gone horribly awry. Even more LOVE

I completely agree! This was the only three minutes worth watching...how sad.

I seem to be the only person in the world who thinks Radiohead are talentless clowns. This performance is terrible. Thom Yorke looks like a student. The man is a father and well into his thirties. Crazy.

i have to say that i disagree with you on this one. not on the quality of radiohead's performance, but rather on it being the only worthwhile performance. i LOVED the al green/justin timberlake performance, in spite of the groans originally elicited by the knowledge that timberlake AND boyz ii men would both be accompanying green. it turned out to be a great moment! also, although m.i.a.'s appearance ended up looking like little more than a stunt, i have to say that i thought the kanye west/jay-z/lil wayne/t.i. performance was a lot of fun. oh, and also, yay for stevie wonder, but really, the fucking JONAS BROTHERS?? somebody needs to die for allowing that to happen.

ok, so i exaggerated a wee bit, thom. I dug kanye and estelle's performance as well. and give props to M.I.A. for looking like a demented ladybug. but otherwise there was not much else i enjoyed. i bet that was the only time in stevie's life he wished he was deaf too.
