OH MY GOD! FIRST you start a thread to ask who won, you get an answer, and part of your answer was that there have been several threads already. THEN you start this thread??

"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

I'm so very glad for Stephen and "Wicked," but the Grammy's have gone down hill big time. I mean, let's face it. It's great that "Wicked" won, but who else has a Grammy? Eminem, Britney Spears, Usher, Beyonce, Monica, Christina Aguilera, Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, Brandy, Outkast. Yes, I understand that these are different genres of music, but, hardly any of these people (in my opinion, none of them) are talented. Just my two cents, but, YAY for "Wicked"!

Britney Spears never won a Grammy

*Edit* My bad, I didn't watch it so I didn't actually know.

I most definitely have issues with my word choices on this board.

My Johnny won tonight...I was pumped about that.

But, his shoes left something to be desired...

Idina: Somehow I got myself to the stage, came out at the end of the show, and I had some kind of closure.
Some guy: You looked great!
Idina: Thanks...I WAS SO HIGH! 8/21/05

This should be known as "the Rod Stewart rule".
His similarly cheeseball platinum-seller beat out Barbara Cook.

I thinkj Boy From Oz and Ave Q had MUCH more memorable and better music (saw all 3).

Ya know...say what you want about Britney Spears... but "Toxic" is a pretty great song. It manages to be a dance song, yet still have a discernible melody, and it doesn't ape or sound quite like anything else.
