GRAMMY Watch: Three Big Questions

By Mr. Moderator on Feb 9, 2007

Townsman Rick, one of Rock Town Hall's most contemporary and open-minded regulars, has determined the three big questions leading into this Sunday's 49th Annual GRAMMY Awards:

For me, there are three big questions going into the GRAMMYS:

  • The first is, how will The Police do?
  • The second is, will Gnarls Barkley have that breakout performance that has the whole country going "I have no idea WTF these guys are, but they're great!" Unfortunately, they'll probably play the tame hit "Crazy" instead of a mindbender like "Go-Go Gadget Gospel", but still their bizarre combined Look should be interesting and challenging to folks in Peoria.
  • Third, have we really gone so soft that Corinne Bailey Rae will win GRAMMY Awards? Sheesh. At least A Taste of Honey (who beat out Costello for Best New Artist, but you knew that, right?) were aggressively cheesy, and their one hit does have legs.

I hadn't realized before that Costello is up for a grammy this year. Do the Grammy's typically hand out compensation statues for less worthy work due to an egregious overlook of past work? Like the Oscars do? If he wins, maybe he can dedicate his award to A Taste Of Honey. Boogie Oogie Oogie indeed.

That would be touching.

Townsman Chickenfrank,

If at all possible, please call Townsman A-Dogg from the regional GRAMMY party you're attending tomorrow and leave a message reporting the boss happenings. Thanks!

The Police did ok, but who was doing the multi-part harmonies on the background vocals, since only Andy (playing the exact same guitar he used to in the old days) was singing into a mic. A harmonizer?
