Bon Iver is old & white 

He's not old, he's just frail looking.

And I'm glad Chris Brown could take time out of his busy schedule of beating the crap out of women to perform...twice.   

[MakeItRain]

eff Chris Brown

On the topic of Bon Iver, didn't know it was a group.  Why does the lead singer only appear on other artists albums and on the Grammy stage as "Bon Iver" instead of Justin Vernon?  Justin is the oldest looking 30 year old I've ever seen.

Also why in the hell was Nicki Minaj nominated for best new artist and how did she not win?

[Dugout DickStone]

I thought Minaj's stage show was lamesville but she should have been nominated.

[WillieWatanabe]

Bunch of greats moments surrounded by utter crap this year.

No I'm trying to figure out why/how she wasn't nominated for Best New Artist last year.  She released her first album in 2010.  And yeah she wasn't good tonight.  Her and Deadmau5 are getting killed on twitter.

i don't what their requirements are. I think they just try to fill out the noms with big artists.

Well, isn't "Skinny Love" like 3 years old?

Edit: Its five years old. I have no idea what the criteria for that category is though.

I've always thought he was kind of a tool. Like the whole story of him going off to a cabin to find himself right before he started writing and finding his name in an episode of Northern Exposure.

"There's a big misunderstanding-- I don't want to sell music. But if people are going to be selling music, and they want to sell our music without disturbing the medium of what it actually is, we want to rough ridin' do that. I want people to hear the music that we make. I don't want to do it in any shitty way."

i understand where he's coming from, but he missed a big opportunity, imo. The Civil Wars played 30 sec tonight and they're rough ridin' website crashed....not to mention the popularity increase of the Mumford and Sons last year...

All the bons are great musicians.  Weird.

YES!  Anthony Bourdain is what happens when people lose the fear of having their ass kicked because of their words.

i enjoyed the Chipotle commercial that debuted during the telecast.

[Brock Landers]

I felt bad for Foo Fighters having to play out in some large wedding tent across the street from Staples Center instead of on stage.
