What a fucking joke! Dustin Hoffman must have been fucking wasted. He really seemed like he'd just spent several hours in the bar scoffing down Martinis. And the live performances were mostly dire, especially Avril Lavigne. Sure, she actually played live which was commendable, but she sounded truly awful. They obviously did a lot of work on her voice in the studio. Maybe she was really nervous as she's hardly a seasoned performer yet and the Grammys is a big gig, but she was just atrocious.
Bruce, Elvis, Stevie and Dave was the highlight of the night. It was worth sitting through all the backslapping just to see that.
I think Barry and Robin really wanted to murder N'Sync. Perhaps if Maurice had been still alive and they'd been getting tributed for some other reason, they might have. For mine, the Bee Gees "tribute" was an absolute insult!
Something else I had to laugh about: when Norah Jones and the football team that helped her make her album went on stage to get the best album Grammy, one of her producers said something like "Working with her is great, you just have to sit back at watch". Which is why she needed four producers and three engineers.
