I'm tempted to stay up for the Levon Helm tribute...

...but I'm sure I would end up preferring the Neo Trio tribute better.  So I'm going to skip it.

Keith Urban is Australian??

Best pop vocal album - oh, I didn't even know Maroon 5's album is called Overexposed when I said that about Adam Levine's voice.

Kelly Clarkson is good.

What's with Katy Perry's boobs?

I admire Kelly for refusing to conform to industry body stereotypes.

Mashups / Grammy moments

Enough.  Trying to force it.  Not a huge fan of this Levine's overexposed voice.  I think combining it with Alicia Keys is going to be horrid.

Dave Grohl is awesome.

He reminds me of this guy I was friends with in high school, Mark Shewchuk.  He played the drums and was just effortlessly cool.

I don't recognize that girl with him.

Oh, we're rooting for Frank Ocean.

Neil Patrick Harris is awesome.

It's time for "fun." to perform that ubiquitous "We Are Young" song, I guess.  Sigh.

Best pop solo performance

There can be no winners here.  Adele, Rihanna, Carly Rae, others.  Holy lord what is that dress Adele is wearing holy hell.  Looks like my Nana's couch.
