Nine million dollars for LA fire relief efforts raised by the Grammys?
Wow!!!
All those multi multi multi millionaires in the Hollywood music industry not to mention Nashville and New York etc...
And only nine freeakin' million dollars?
Nine million dollars would cover one celebrity musician's home in LA.
By the way, Jimmy Kimmel had a great joke last night.
He noted both Kanye and Will Smith turned up on the red carpet.
He said if Will Smith wanted to get tarnished career a boost he should have slapped Kanye.

Still can't believe Beyonce is country artist of the year. Never watching again that was the nail in the coffin. Its all rigged.

Kind of like the Oscars where a really famous actor gets passed over repeatedly, then toward the end of their career they do a so-so job in a not very good movie and win best actor/actress.
Remember Paul Newman getting it for The Colour Of Money

The only exciting moment was Kanye forcing his poor wife to stand nekkid in front of the media and the world. Chappel Roan's performance was visually appealing also.

City TV had success with the Grammy Awards on Sunday with over 1.4 million tuning in with overnight numbers. This was down from last year with 1,760,000. Numbers will increase a little with whatever recording was done for the show and 30 day playback.

50 Years Of SNL Music didn't draw on Global with 244,000 viewers. The show had played a few nights prior on NBC. CTV with Black Panther had 293,000 watching.
