This year's Grammy Awards have come and gone and so has another live blog. We did it a little different this time around and "tweeted" the night's festivities on Twitter with the live feed appearing in this spot during the pre-show and telecast.
If you missed it, then don't despair--the entire transcript is available after the bounce! And if loved, hated or didn't give a damn about the awards show, then leave your two cents in the comments section with the rest of the cool kids.

- Uh oh...Maybe JHud should pre-taped this performance a la the Super Bowl? Come on, Jenny, get it together.

- Better luck next year, Jazmine Sullivan. *sigh*

- Oh, he was introducing his friend Kenny Chesney. Never pictured them as homies, but whatev.
- Country nap! Wake me when this performance is done.
- Herbie Hancock, Natalie Cole & Diddy? Mmkay. At least they're presenting and not performing together.
- What DOES Natalie Cole have on? No ma'am.
- It never fails that a song that I've never heard racks up a ton of awards. o_O
- Queen Latifah looks good. Woulda done more with her hair, though. *shrug*
- M.I.A. is all types of wrong for that outfit.
- What's up with the black and white action, CBS?
- Did Kanye, Jay-Z, TI and Lil Wayne not tell M.I.A. about the dress code? They're all tuxed up and she looka mess.

- Paul McCartney time.
- Kid Rock got his drank in his cup.

- They couldn't put Adele in a different frock for her performance? o_O At least she sounds great.
- Is Gwyneth Paltrow's stylist in cahoots with Estelle and Kanye?
- Requisite
performance with a marching band? Check. The Grammys are definitely
following the music awards show playbook to a T tonight. - Just saw Raphael Saadiq rocking his mustard yellow Civil Rights cut suit in the audience. Didn't see Nia Long, though.
- Samuel L. Jackson introducing TI and Justin Timberlake. Him again?
- Can't wait for the day until Justin Timberlake is out of style.
- At least JT sounds better now than he did earlier.
- OK, this TI performance has officially gone on for too long.
- Requisite boring Grammy stuff. Blah, blah, blah.
- I wonder if the music industry is gonna ask for a bailout?
- Old Green Eyes, Smokey Robinson. Still pretty after all these years.
- RIP Levi Stubbs.
- Ne-Yo, Jamie Foxx, Smokey & the last Top. This was a good idea on paper.
- This Four Tops tribute is NOT working. Such a pity.
- What was that "Viagra Like Us"?
- Neil Diamond time.
- Now for the sad part of the show. Remembering those who left us. Relax in paradise, y'all.
- Bo Diddley tribute. Y'all better play. I see you, BB King.
- Another Lil Wayne performance? Give me a break.
- At least he used Robin Thicke and didn't recycle Justin Timberlake again.
- Lil Wayne looks like Roscoe from Martin.
- The Dirty Dozen Brass Band FTW.
- This was a surprisingly good Lil Wayne performance. Big up Allen Toussaint & Terrence Blanchard.
- Does T-Pain have on 3D glasses?
- Will.i.am does not look happy to be presenting with that clown.
- I see you, Nas! Looking all good.
- Lil Wayne wins Best Rap Album. Yeah, OK.
- And the purpose of everyone and his grandma joining him on stage was what? This aint the BET Awards, man! SAHDOWN!
- At least Wayne's acceptance speech was short, sweet and coherent. He must not have had his medicine tonight.
- Hmm...Alison
Krauss & Robert Plant performing now. I think we know who the next
award will be going to. o_O Y'all aint slick, Grammys!! - Album of the Year...does not go to Lil Wayne!
- So I guess this
is it, huh? Another anti-climactic Grammy Awards comes to an end. Damn
you, M.I.A. for not giving birth during "Swagga"!! - Oh, but wait...Stevie Wonder is closing the show!!
- Glad that Stevie kicked the Jonas Brothers to the curb.
- How dare they show commercials during Stevie's performance?
- And that's all,
folks. This year's Grammy Awards has been real. Real what, I'm still
trying to figure that one out. Ciao for now!
