Anyone watch? Let me just say, I didn't like Bey's performance. It felt short and lackluster. Adele came off fake to me. Rih was so ratchet with that liquor canister but she looked good. Good for Chance, he deserved those awards. Everyone else I paid absolute dust.

I don't like Adele. She bores me. I really enjoyed Beyoncé's performance, and wish somehow they would have incorporated Solange in it as well. I suppose solange didn't want to be involved though. I think Bey and Rih should boycott next year. The Grammy's are like the Oscars, except they give out award here and there to black artists so it's harder to call them on their bullshit. Solange said in the last 20 years only 2 black artists have won album of the year, yet 200 have performed. I hope Jay convinces both of them and other black artists to boycott. He used to boycott the Grammy's.
I really liked Gaga's performance, even with the technical glitch. Adele's flub came off fake to me, not the flub itself just the shit she said after. Just seemed so extra. I didn't know what to make of her Beyoncé rant, seemed borderline Stan to me lol.
Prince tribute was okay, could have been better.
I think I'm just over the Grammy's. Blue was cute. Notice J. Lo didn't sing into the mic lmao

Blue was cute. Notice J. Lo didn't sing into the mic lmao I'm getting tired of Adele. I liked her new album but I certainly didn't think it was better than Formation or Anti. It was just like her other two albums. It didn't even get much attention past the first few months. Formation is still being talked about and Anti is still topping the charts. I'm surprised Rih didn't get any awards that night.
I think it would've been cool to incorporate Solange but I doubt Solange would've agreed to it. She's made it very clear she wants to make her own lane and stick to it. Bey, Rih and a whole bunch of other black artists should've boycotted along time ago. These Grammy Voters and even white artists don't see them as peers but just entertainment. That's it. It doesn't matter how far you go. Look at the way they slandered Mike and now Bey. Being a legend means nothing. I assume Jay only goes for Bey now. They all should boycott.
I didn't see Gaga's performance. I want to go back and watch Chance's though. I muted the TV when Adele came on to sing for the tribute. Her crying at the end appeared so contrived. What did she say after?
I'm not watching the Grammy's anymore. I already stopped watching all other award shows except for Soul Train, NAACP, BET, etc. I won't be watching the Oscars although I hope Fences, Hidden Figures and Moonlight get awards.

Adele messed up and had to restart her tribute to GM. She was tearful and saying "she had to do this right" I rolled my eyes.
I didn't realize the Grammy's have a committee that can override the popular vote. That's bull shit.
That is why Jay goes to the Grammy's now. I believe he said that's why he goes.
