I haven't watched the grammys for twenty years thanks for reiteiterating the reasons why.
Same here. For me personally that would be an unwatchable and painful experience.
Grammy's are a good indicator that once again music, good decent music, is dying slowly one day at the time. The un-listenable rubbish the mainstream music industry spits out these days is borderline criminal, disturbing as well as for many - offensive.
Same here. There are still some decent acts but those are mostly from the musicians of yesteryear...the rest of it is as you said, rubbish.
I used to be a voting member of the Grammys. Now, I didn't even realize they happened. Who cares about this crap now?
I'm surprised The Grammy's still exists. I guess if sponsors are still willing to pay for ads it will exist. I enjoyed music of the 60's,70's to late 80's as it was released. Those days are long gone and sure there is the odd good new music I hear but when you have a billion songs you love the 60's to late 80's, who cares about new music, right? I'm not out there looking for new music; I will never have a reason to do that. So, the demographic for the Grammy's must like 18-35 years old maybe. how many of them spend $$ on records, cd, minimal. They mostly stream their music. How many of them can afford to see a live show if their into that? This brings me back to my opening remark here. The Grammy's seem to still exist because all these sponsors are out of touch with what new music supporting consumers are listening to. I guess they must bank on Swifties watching just to see Taylor otherwise.
Actually, this year’s Grammys were excellent. Standout performances by Tracy Chapman, Joni Mitchell and Billy Joel. Not sure how you become an ex-voting member…I call BS on that.
@@mpi5850 Call anything you want. You pay a fee to belong to Recording Academy. There are qualifications. I joined, I was accepted because of my career in music. I voted for a few years. I went to the Grammys - tickets were $1500 each, and only if you're nominated. I eventually quit. That's how you become an ex-voting member. The Grammys are a way to get expensive talent to appear on a TV show for virtually nothing by giving them awards that are somehow meaningful to their careers.
@rixvspinner ...I agree with all of what you said 100%! I'm now 62 yrs old and remember how the Grammy awards was back in the 70s and 80s when the real thing was to look forward to. Music today sucks so bad I don't bother with it. I've stop buying music in the early 90s when music started to change for the worst! I too have no reason to listen to new music of today...it's so bad it turns my colon into a knot. It's to brutally criminal to even think to listen to today's crap.
@@mpi5850..those three artist you mention would be the only reason to watch the grammys....other than that...nahhh not worth watching at all dude!
I didn't watch all of the Grammy show, but I did see the clip for the Best Contemporary Blues Album. I didn't have much hope that Larkin Poe would win, but they did. That is a well deserved award and a long time coming. 😻
They performed with some other musicians in the show's opening number of Prince's "Let's Go Crazy." Rebecca and Megan both got the spotlight for a short time - Rebecca sang a section of verses of the song and they both played some short guitar solos.
That is very cool.👍👍👍 I'll have to look that part up. @@mvellis3863
I believe one of the chief reasons the vinyl version of the first Tracy Chapman album is in high demand is because it is a Direct Metal Master. I can personally vouch that this pressing sounds phenomenally good.
What are chances of Acoustic Sounds repressing Chapman album as a UHQR or maybe a MOFI OneStep? 🤔
Thought about this as well but I looked it up and found that this album was recorded digitally. Certainly needs a high quality reissue/remaster? and to remain in print
@@Tonydriver8I've read that Tracy does not want to do it as she seems happy with the money that she has in retirement.
I found this awhile back. Don’t know if it’s credible. Couldn’t find anything else about it….
Tracy Chapman has to sign off on any reissue of her work, and she's steadfastly refused to allow this to happen. She seems very comfortable in her retirement and not at all interested in allowing new 180g "remastered vinyl" versions of her classic albums (S/T, but also Crossroads and New Beginnings and others) to be reissued. Which is why the prices on ALL her original vinyl (S/T but the others as well) keep going up.
Chapman owns the publishing rights to all of her music giving her total control.
Many spot-on comments, but I do think Trevor did a great job hosting. Still recovering from your admission that you never knew U2’s guitarist was The Edge.
I knew he was the guitarist but when I listen to Bono refer to him as the edge it sounded funny.
Bono has been doing that in interviews and live appearances for years, I honestly think he's trolling David Evans (The Edge's actual name) for taking on such a ridiculous stage name. Or maybe he thinks it's funny.
The band and friends gave him that name because they said the shape of his head just dropped off like a cliff so it was a joke name. People wrongly assume it was some cool name he gave himself. @@morgolus4413
Agreed, Trevor Noah did a great job. Not all of us are looking for drama via the host.
Most Trevor Noah fans watched the Grammys while wearing a mask and shivering in fear that orange man might be president again. Noah might be funny to people that hate comedy.
They need to do a uhqr or MoFi reissue of Tracy Chapman's debut album. They would sell like hot cakes
Only watched it to see Billy Joel. The Grammys is like a candy store where the candy is given out for free!
Nearly midnight here in Oz and i see Mikes dropped a video. An unusual surprise. Then it’s a review of the Grammys another unusual surprise. I’m liking you are looking to do more of these type of different videos. If it’s music related i like hearing your opinion/feedback/review.
Today's artists exist for the social media generation and this week's hit. Few have talent.
So true. Im amazed the Grammy's still exists. I'm amazed the old guard talent was at the show unless to promote a live tour of course.
Ask any of them in a year what was that "hit" they went crazy about year before...most of them wouldn't even remember name of the song.
Music fast-food style. Sad but true.
My favorite moments
1 Tracy Chapman and Luke Combs
2 Joni Mitchell and Brandi Carlisle. This made me cry.
3. Billy Joel!!!
4..The tribute to those who passed- Stevie Wonder, Annie Lennox and Lennie Kravitz
Awards for somthing as subjective as art is just dumb.
Hi from Australia Mike, I haven't watched the Grammy Awards for years because I felt some many less than spectacular albums get lavished with undeserved praise. The years Stevie Wonder would win almost every pop category and Bonnie Raitt did the same thing another year. But I am happy to hear that Larkin Po earned a blues award this year. I remember managing a record store during vinyl's peak when people would come in and buy these Grammy winning albums and return a week later to say "what was so good about that album?".
I was only interested in seeing Larkin Poe perform and receive the Grammy for Best Contemporary Blues Album ("Blood Harmony"). The Lovell sisters rock
Thanks for watching and reviewing for the rest of us old goats👍 this is as close as ive come to watching the Grammys since sometime in the 90's.i too think its odd that ANYONE would refer to their guitarist as The Edge.especially since the man hasn't shredded a day in his life..
They called him that because of the shape of his head. It was an in band joke at his expense.
Bring back JAMIROQUAI
What kinda “husband/wife” duties are we talking about here 🤣🤷🏻♂️
😜
Thanks for the update. I didn’t watch. It’s not my thing. But I did notice. I think Jason Isbell won two Grammys. That’s great. I’m going to see Jason in about a month, hopefully he should be in a good mood. Can’t wait. Not a U2 fan either. I do not own any of their music.
the Tracy Chapman record needs to come out been long over due!!!
I think the reason Fantasia was chosen to pay tribute to Tina Turner is the connection to Oprah Winfrey who introduced her and had a longtime friendship with Tina. Fantasia stars in the current remake of The Color Purple which Winfrey produced. Fantasia rose to fame as an early winner of American Idol.
Saw U2 at the old Wembley Stadium on the original Joshua Tree tour. They were great then. But went off then after Achtung Baby.
I enjoyed this video and agree with everything you said, especially not being familiar with 75% of the music performed on the show. I don’t care for judging of music and awarding “best of” trophies by some elite group I know nothing about. I do my own judgement based on my own criteria and opinion. Thanks for taking a detour from your usual videos and putting this one up. And thanks for keeping your discussion about husband/wife duties brief, lol.
Joni’s performance was phenomenal and deliberately frail in execution. She has not lost her sense of swing and time - the dissonant note she hit right at the very end killed me. So musical. I highly recommend looking up the performance of Summertime and Circle Game she did with Herbie Hancock, Annie Lennox, James Taylor and Angelique Kidjo at the Gershwin Prize ceremony last year. Impeccable phrasing and timing; in total command of her vocal execution.
I bought Olivia Rodrigo’s new album just for Vampire which I think is a really clever almost rock opera song, and she co wrote it too which I think shows great promise of what may be to come. On that album I found most of it to be teenage angsty generic stuff, but enjoyed The Grudge which was a similar kind of presentation to Vampire. I have high hopes for her as she matures. And Miley Cyrus, I haven’t heard a lot of her tunes, but Slide Away she did in 2019 for me marked her breaking away from big listing pop songs to speaking quite personally. I admire her courage to be herself.
Vampire is probably only my 5th or 6th favorite song on Guts and The Grudge is the only song that hasn’t grabbed me at all. What do you like about The Grudge? Is it the lyrics? Musically it’s easily the least engaging to me.
@@chillepalmerzyeah lyrically the grudge is one of her best. It’s also very similar to drivers license. I’d recommend listening to driver’s license transitioning to the grudge
A "hobnob" is a UK oaty biscuit, quite appropriate if you think about it 😂
You and I clearly saw the same show. My assessment of the show was pretty much exactly like yours. It’s pretty weird because I agree with just about every single thing you said. From Tracy Chapman’s album is way overdue for a reissue to not getting Billie Eilish (but that first album is pretty good).
Bring back Ricky Gervais!
Fantasta is an American Idol winner and she sucks I think Mary J Blige would have done an excellent job with Tina Turner song… Miley Cyrus since she has turned 30 has stopped all her partying ways and kicked out all the trashy people she used to-hang around with . Tracy Chapmen and that country singer did an excellent job on her song.
The Grammy's are a colossal waste of time. Most of the music is garbage. The Titanic accident was funnier than Trevor Noah. He has no talent.
The U2 segment was filmed at one of there concerts prior, they were not playing live that night at the sphere. But I am not sure if they were in the sphere live when they gave the award out to Taylor Swift.
Totally agreed with your statement. The benchmark of Music industry today are totally doomed. If you check back the Grammy nominees from the 70’s and 80’s, you will definitely wana let all of them win. Neck to neck competitive. The swifties era nowadays are really disgusting. Pity to the Tracy, Annie & Billie who attend to perform witness all this kindergarten song winner.
more old man rants please!
I think Beyoncé has claimed best music artist of all time. Beyoncé self titled is a top 5 album of all time and she has made multiple fantastic albums (“lemonade” and destiny’s child’s: “Writing on the Wall” are also 10/10). And she is an incredible performer who could go toe to toe with the best (MJ, Prince, Joel). Sure in terms of who music snobs think best music artist of all time is, you can talk about people like Davis, Stevie Wonder, Zeppelin, Stravinsky, whoever… but if you ask music listeners in general today who the top 3 of all time are, you’re gonna get Beyoncé, The Beatles, and maybe James Brown (I think he belongs here but you could argue the 3rd position). I feel that list is at least a solid top 2 music artists of all time to the current worldwide general music audience.
Your under 35 right?
They should have acknowledged the 60th Anniv. of the Beatles in the US!!
My fave was Tracy. I need that record!!
How sad....music? Grammys? What, wasn't there paint to watch dry somewhere?
It says a lot about mainstream music today when performances by old(er) folks like Tracy, Joni, Billy and Annie Lennox completely outshine them. Not only that, they’re just so… boring and repetitive… is Dua Lipa channeling 80s Cher now? My God. With a very few exceptions, like Luke & Miley, I agree, it was 💤
You should get danger pay just for watching it. The Grammys has had its moments over the years, but it's really just a music biz circle jerk.
Taylor Swift - the word you were searching for to describe her status, was "she's like her own corporation"...
I thought it went pretty good. It's too bad Olivia Rodrigo didn't walk away with anything. Especially after topping her debut with her sophomore album.
I'm not big on U2 either (though, I do have the CDs of War and Joshua Tree).
Agree with so much you say. PM can’t sing at all any more, spent some time with a very famous producer of one of his more recent flops. It was Paul’s way and no advice welcome, and each day over the three months started with 2 hours talking about how great I am often repeating the same stories to the ars… lickers he’s surrounded by.
They need Ricky Gervais to host it. Trevor Noah is as funny as James Cordon. As in not remotely amusing.
Mike, your passion for music radiates, especially when you highlight impactful performances, such as Tracy Chapman's. Your personal insights resonate well, offering viewers a unique perspective. To deepen the engagement of your views, delving further into the stories behind award winners and their albums could provide a richer, more comprehensive musical context. Additionally, incorporating constructive feedback on less favorable aspects could enhance the utility and depth of your critiques. This balanced approach not only enriches your analysis but also fosters a more inclusive and informative discussion for your audience.
Fantasia paid tribute to Tina Turner Well.
Mike..you actually WATCH this???
lol, not a Noah fan either
Watch Rich Hall re Miley Cyrus
Noah always sucks. He’s just not funny. Tracy’s first album really expanded my musical tastes. Love her!
To me, the Grammys are boring....
Yes it was a very syncophantic fan filled dirge. Very American faux emotionalism over-the-top. What I call reactive TV.
Someone needs to release an album entitled 'For Old People who have Reatined Great Taste.'
Billy Joel , didn’t get the respect at the end , not right at all, I hope Now and Then gets a Grammy next time, and the Grammy for I’m Only Sleeping video is awesome , I think the artist that put it together was fantastic. Do you know if they are going to release that video, thank you for the excellent review Steve
Family duties?
Balancing my checkbook.
We can't have the same tastes. Joni is one of my favourite artists. SZA has a beautiful voice. We definitely need a Tracy Chapman reissue. Apart from Flowdan the rest is meh. A triumph of mediocrity over excellence
Trevor is lame but uncontroversial. That might be what they're after. And yes, I've been waiting on that Tracy Chapman reissue like everyone else.
Miley’s record is great, flowers is the worst song on it. It sounds good too pressed at RTI
So many damn ads on your videos have rendered them unwatchable
Use an adblocker, they work
It’s totally worth the $13.99 a month for UA-cam premium if you watch a lot. I’ll never go back to ads.
love the adblocker!!

youtube premium will fix that !
Adblock is the way to go
I agree Trevor Noah was positively awful as usual, from his cheesy jokes to completely embarrassing antics talking to celebrities before and even after their performances. Ugh!!!! I agree Joni Mitchell’s performance was very moving.
Beyoncé is definitely more talented than those artists overall. She has better vocals and she is a better performer and dancer
Lol, ok, if you say so. One thing that is not debatable though is the fact that Jayz made an ass of himself. Over 50 combined Grammys but still not good enough for him and his wife.
You dont like U2 because Bono is such an overly Political and social activist.
There are plenty of people that dont like them because of the music. I love the band, one of my favorites, but tastes differ.
“The bass player can’t play, The drummer can’t drum, the guitar player has one riff and the singer thinks his music is changing the world” Henry Rollins 🤣
@@sittnonchromeaccurate.
Stopped watching this circus of pompous self indulged “musicians”, which I use in jest. New music is not music it’s an add to sell disfunction. Bring back the 80’s!
