10 ways the 2007 Grammys Sucked
1. A three-song tribute to The Eagles
2. The Doors get a lifetime achievement Grammy
3. Lionel Ritchie singing Hello
4. Earth, Wind and Fire? Burt Bacharach? Smokey Robinson?
(aside, I am talking about the 2007 Grammys even though the above items make it seem like I’m reviewing the 1977 Grammys)
5. Wolfmother’s award is not televised
6. Flaming Lips’ award is not televised
7. Scarlett Johanson and Don Henley’s “patter�
8. Prince, one week after rocking Miami, gets to say one word
9. Carrie Underwood singing Desparado
10. James Blount – Beautiful
Sorry, this list isn't David Letterman funny, but the show was too soul crushing bad to make fun of. And to think only two short years ago Green Day and Kanye West absolutely crushed at the Grammy’s. Is it no wonder the Grammys teeter on the inconsequential?

Yes, even the Police's opening was a little bit of a let down. What was with the soul-scat crap in the middle of Roxanne? At least they didn't make that part into a rap. *Shudder*
The Doors getting a lifetime achievement was the horrible. Bad song writing is rewarded because their lead singer is "mysterious" and dead.
But a three song tribute to the Eagles? Three? How about three songs from the Police?

I didn't watch the 2007 Grammys, but for whatever reasons it may have sucked, I'm sorry I missed seeing Scarlett in that hot-looking dress - wow!
