Grammy Performance

The show is all about the performances, and there were some good ones. Pink, Blige (channeling Aretha)/Andrea, Elton/GaGa. There were some bad ones as well. Taylor Swift was barely passable , kind of felt sorry for Stevie Nicks who could have sang her out of the building.

Kudos to Jon Pareles of the NY Times for noticing the auto-tuning of today's R&B singers. Except for Maxwell, who guided the rather staid Roberta Flack to bigger heights than she's seen in years.
