Fair warning, this is totally ramblings form the night. But this year, so you get what I'm talking about, there are videos! =D
I had about 60 seconds heads up that this B/Jay thing was happening. AWESOME way to kick off the show!!

I love this speech, but come on. Why him?
And yes… we are cold here in NYC
KEITH URBAN
Wow, these shout outs to performers' roots is... awesome. Also THE BEATLES!!!! I'm already very close to tears. This is going to be wonderful!!
Okay, here we go!

John Legend is such an incredibly, understated artist - and I'm thrilled that he's not overly poplar, but always beloved.
| |
- We get to see Sir Paul McCartney accept an award
- Except Dave Grohl won't shut up
- I still need to see Sound City
| T-Swift!
|
I have finally come in to my love of JT. It took YEARS, but man, I just love this guy… even if he's now the spokesman for a ton of companies
Every girl is screaming right now. Yay Bruno!!!
And then, there's Pink and Nate and... well, you know that's just going to amazing.
| |

- Lorde, aww. She's kinda adorable.
- We all guessed wrong, it was for a… realtor?

So, I'm confused… Ringo was on. Where was the Paul reunion?… are we getting more Beatles tonight???
- HELL YEAH "HOLY GRAIL!!!"
- Beyonce is trying so hard to not cry right now
- "Daddy got a gold sippy cup for you!!"
Kacey Musgraves, oh honey, what are you doing?

UMG - President's Merit Award - Luncio. Cheers.
Julia Roberts??? I love when worlds collide.
Okay, back to the Beatles. More, please.
| |
How did they just drop the bombshell that NPH is going to be on this broadcast??
Note to self - hear everything by every one of these lifetime achievement award winners
| And here we go - country. Yes.
|
- Oh, presenters that actually fit - go figure…
- Well dang Kasey… did NOT see that one coming!!
NPH!! NPH!! NPH!!
"Get Lucky" may be winning best performance, just saying… this is so cool! Look at that set!!

- you still a cray cray chick and i love you
| Carol King and Sara are just beautiful together!! Dueling Pianos anyone? Ha, kidding, kidding. I know there's all just love here!
|
So, Jared Leto was nice.
Jessica K: Technically, Metallica was a decent segue due to Hetfield's work with Reed in Lulu... which I still maintain was an abomination, but that's neither here nor there... Janelle H: I'm not hating it as it going on. At first, it was just tough to cope with the drag (that's how I generally feel about anytime Metallica slows down), but they kicked it by the end. | |
"I'm with a Mexican Monkey"
| I remember the first time I heard "Same Love". (1) I thought Macklemore was a whole other person, like, some other famous rapper - I had no idea. (2) I was waiting on a Subway, and all was quiet except the music coming into my ears (thanks for the free download, Starbucks!) and I really focused on the lyrics. I think I was in tears by the time I sat on the train. How amazing is this song? And now, seeing this... thank you Macklemore, Ryan Lewis, Madonna, and Queen Latifa. This is beautiful. |
- god DAMN it, it was still a Windows commercial!!!
- I thought Ryan was just the spokesperson - he's the honorary chairman? Do I need to re-consider this guy?
- Music Educator Award - I know a handful of people who need this. Mrs. B, I'm looking your way! Check out GRAMMYMusicTeacher.com
- Lang Lang's back. No words to drive us to tears this year apparently. Van Cliburn
- George Jones, Richie Havens, Magic Slim, Chris Kelly, Hugh McKracken, Phil Ramone, Cory Montieth!, Ray Dolby, Lou Reed, Phil Everly
-
- RIP
Okay, deep breath - Miranda and Billy Joe

Yoko, Olivia Harrison… and Alicia Keys - I know they had to get Alicia on the show, but… kinda strange combo?
- I kind of hope Daft Punk wins so Yoko Ono has to interact with them
- Daft Punk!! Daft Punk!! Daft Punk!!! I really want them to interact with Yoko oddly, lol
Think they're crying under those helmets?
CLASSY Same Love shout out too. Wow, I love them more and more all the time. - NIN and Queens of the Stone Age, with Lindsey Buckingham and Dave Grohl. Man oh man, what an ending!!
