Grammy Time: 11 p.m. Are we done yet?
Terence Howard inducting Jessye Norman, who stood up to get her Lifetime Achievement recognition. That's right! Make them recognize. Attica! Attica! David Bowie! David Bowie!
Now we finally see Christina singing "A Song For You" with Herbie Hancock. Just sing the song. We are losing the song in stupid glory notes and curlicues that don't make sense or add anything. Just...sing...the...song. Leon Russell is a genius.
She just said "Listen to the melody." Gee, we'd like to. If you would sing it.
Can't Herbie do something about this?

I agree that Xtina did too many runs. It's a beautiful song, and she has a beautiful voice. The song speaks for itself. All of the vocal gymnastics take away from the beauty.
In case you missed it, Leon Russel was not manning the black 'n' whites.
Great interpetation by Herbie and Christina. Total control over both instuments. A voice like no other and without a doubt, THE performance of the evening.
I know, and if Leon had been playing, maybe he would have stopped her from jacking his song.
