You are just now realizing that the Grammys are messed up?!?! It's not a liberal or conservative thing, if anything they have traditionally been a conservative group, it is an old fogey thing.
Look at past screwups like Jethro Tull taking the first heavy metal award. The Rolling stones never won a grammy until 1997 for Voodoo Lounge which is definitely not one of their best albums. Milli Vanilli taking best new artist. 1992 Nirvana is shut out for Best Rock Song losing to Eric Clapton's 20 year old "Layla" from his unplugged album. 1964 Mary Poppins beats out the Beatle's "Hard Day's Night" for Best Original Score Written for a Motion Picture.
"O, Brother Where Art Thou" beats U2, Outkast and Bob Dylan in 2001 for Album of the Year. 1978 Best New Artist A Taste of Honey beats Elvis Costello and the Cars. 1982 Rick Springfield beats Bruce Springsteen for Best Rock Vocal with "Jesse's Girl". 1998 Will Smith's "Men in Black beats out Missy Elliot and the Notorious BIG for best hip hop song.

YES - that was the Rascal Flatts guy. It seems like he is ALWAYS doing covers of songs for awards shows and they are always TERRIBLE. The guy can't sing a note - lucky for him it can be masked by singing country. He sang Tom Cochran's "Life is a Highway" at an awards show and it may have been the worst vocal performance I've ever seen.

I thought you were Canadian? How does that allow you to be a Democrat?
IF the Dixie Chicks only won because the industry is all liberal, and because of their Anti-Bush stance,why didn't they win every award for the past 3 or so years while mainstream country (tends to be pretty conservative) was ignoring or outright banning their music from airplay?
I'm not a fan of their music, but I DO support their right to speak out against something they think is wrong, just like I support the right to speak out in favor of something you like...

We Tivo'd the show. There were some great performances:
1) Corinne Bailey Rae
2) John Mayer (He is an awesome git-tar player and song writer!)
3) Gnarls Barkley
4) Justin Timberlake, T.I., and that n00b chick
and an appearance by Al Gore!
