I loved his music then, and unfortunately for anyone not familiar with it, yesterday's production would not give a clue to how cutting edge he was in the day....

I was, eruhm, am I watching/hearing the same thing they are? And who was the guy singing with Sir Paul? The white guy to Paul's left? Paul had to watch him to make sure the lame-o guy didn't make Paul look bad. Instead, Paul made the white guy look talented! Yeah, maybe I just shouldn't even watch the morning recaps.

Originally Posted By Ursula Oh, STPH, I didn't watch the whole show, so I don't know, sorry. It was just on the morning recap. Now, I've seen Mary Blige on the Oprah show (late night reruns) and she didn't do all that yelling and carrying on. Strange.

Strange< altthough not a fan, my daughter who is also said the same thing-- she thought she was doing a Fantasia impersonation... also many of these singers do not have the voice/vocal range to sing over a rock band like U@ -- so maybe that is why she went on the screaming jag.....hard to say

Originally Posted By StillThePassHolder "Oh, STPH, I didn't watch the whole show, so I don't know, sorry. It was just on the morning recap." 'Salright. I read more about it later. Apparently some other yahoos were attempting a bad version of Yesterday and McCartney came out mid-song to a lot of applause to do a verse or two. Most account I've read say it didn't go well all the way around.

Though the "uh-huh's" and the "what's" and the"say it's" that Jay-Z would masterfully mix into the lyrics of Yesterday could only be described as watching a train wreck except the casualties in this instance were in the audience and those watching at home. Admittedly, I'm no fan of the Grammy's and only tune in when everything else is at commercial and my only two choices to tie me over are the Quackerfactory lady on QVC and the Grammy's.

Let's just say I was SCREAMING when Kanye and Jamie Foxx came out, but that was as excited as I was.
