The Grammys are on tonight

the Grammys are on which i tend to call the Grannys because they seem so removed from time to me and ain't mattered in so long it ain't even funny. still i find myself watching and out of curiosity at who will perform and if there is a surprise element. I use to truly enjoy the Gospel showcase of the show. but the actual awards themselves are fake and predictable to me. i mean Milli Vannelli Won Best New Artists?? and lets not forget some almost 20 years back how the Grammys didn't even want to acknowledge Rap Music and then turned cold toward R&B as well. the only thing that made me watch the Grammys in the first place was Michael Jackson because he dominated the 84 ones with his then record 8 awards and Thriller couldn't be denied. well tonight there might be a tribute to the 25th anniversary of Thriller. now back in the day Stevie Wonder was huge on the show and I use to watch for him and his performances and other artists,but something about the show has always felt like a inside joke or sorts. but having said all of that and despite how they tried to diss Napster and other file-sharing technilogy usages,etc and now they have to embrace it all. but anyway I will check it out until it gets boring which shouldn't take that long. more categorys as the years pass and overall less quality music and there isn't a fair balance IMO. but anyway I will check what this year's show has to offer.not expecting much though and that is sad.
