I am too out of it to know what should have been nominated, much less what should have won, but didn't the Grammys seem even more out of it than usual this year?
I guess Chance the Rapper was a good call, although New Artist of the Year can be a death sentence. I am a pretty big David Bowie fan, but I would not have thought Blackstar was an award winner as rock song of the year and was not an alternative album at all. Of course, I remember when Jethro Tull won best metal album of the year.
I like Adele, too. But I do not think "25" was her best work. Kind of a retread for the most part. On the other hand, I like Beyoncé and Rhianna, too, but they seem way over-exposed, on multiple levels.
Not to be completely curmudgeonly, performance-wise, I am liking Bruno Mars more and more. Adele, too, for that matter. Daft Punk and The Weekend seem great together. I like The WE most when he does not seem to be channeling MJ, but he sure can sing.
