They actually got some of the awards right, and there were some good performances mixed in with the usual crap.
Highlights for me:
Loretta Lynn and Jack White won, and were hysterical at the podium. Loretta had a few too many, told everyone how hot Tim McGraw was before apologizing to wife Faith, and everytime White tried to let her have the mic and backed away out of respect she kept pulling him back 
Green Day kicked ass, and Quentin Torentino gave a great intro "they came up with a concept album. The concept being all the songs are good".
Kanye West was impressive, in sort of a three part play with the Blind Boys of Alabama, and someone else 
Alicia Keys sounds and looks magnificent 
Franz Ferdinand translated to a live performance surprisingly well; I thought their sound wouldn't be any good live. 
Jamie Foxx can really sing! So can Queen Latifah, but she can't host!
The Tsunami relief song idea "Across the Universe" was pretty good, but it was a little too "we are the world" ish with Bono and Stevie Wonder starting it until Alicia Keys and Billy Jo got in, although seeing Slash's band playing background for it was pretty bizarre.
The "typical grammys" award goes to the music starting to try to cut off the speech for Ray Charles' win of Record of the Year with Norah Jones before Ray's manager, who is an elder gentlemen made it up to speak." That was followed of course by the talking head do not download and steal talk.

| I just think of how timely BJ (from Green Day) was beeped when he was performing American Idiot. Also, isn't Green Day a trio?

| You noticed those too, huh? They did thank the other guy during their speech.

I really wanted to watch Queen Latifah, but the show had the lowest ratings since 95 (18.83 million). The Alicia Keys/Jamie Foxx duo was pretty good...and so was Melissa & Joss Stone.
My main reason for watching (besides Queen) was to see Marc Anthony & J-Lo choke on their song! I'm glad she did! Papers here wrote not so complimentary things about her singing. It was pretty bad!!

| Agree BC, I don't know if anyone else could have let that howl out at the end of the song like she could! Melissa can rock and I was somewhat interested in Joss Stone. Hadn't heard much before, I think I'll check out some more.

Melissa Etheridge ROCKS! (Pun intended). She's truly entertaining and I very much enjoy her music! Her & Joss Stone (who I'm not necessarily a fan of) did Janis justice! It was a pretty good number!
J-Ho annoys me beyond belief! And her short, scrawny, bug eyed hubby too!! Even my mom has boycotted him for the way he treated Dayanara!
