But how does an American Idol beat a Beatle? Nothing against Kelly Clarkson but McCartney’s performance of “Helter Skelter” in the award ceremony was great. Drummer Abe Laboriel was SO MUCH FUN to watch.
Coldplay, on the other hand, didn’t find their groove at all and Chris Martin came across as a Bono wanna-be who was trying too hard to be cool and not trying hard enough to actually hit the notes.

I agree about coldplay. I was pulling for Paul. I wonder why he picked helter skelter?
I was also pleased by Alison Krauss and Union Station's well deserved award in the country category.
I, too, was pleased by Allison Krauss' win but her acceptance speech wins "most awkward speech" award. But at least she didn't blather like Kelly Clarkson.
i'm torn about the whole Grammy process. i mean, how can someone like Kelly Clarkson even be nominated? unless, of course, the award-givers factor such things as number of bone-heads who buy the stuff.
but on the other hand, awarding people like U2 and Alison Krauss shows they at least can spot talent and artistic merit.
still: Paul getting snubbed? and no Sufjan, Ryan Adams, or Bright Eyes?
P.S. you'll likely enjoy this video of U2 eating some pizza and talking about their win last night.
