Sorry, Attercliffe, I don´t think they´ve grown up at all. The lyrics of the average pop music song on the radio are shocking beyond belief.

I don´t listen to todays music either,it all sounds the same to me but I did like the one song by Adele.I though Clarkson was terrible at the inauguration,other than that I have no clue on her talent.

What a comparison to the late 60´s and early 70´s when you couldn´t keep up with all the good bands who they own unique sound.

Well, since I gave up talk radio, I have listened to some of the music from last night. Adele and Kelly are very deserving, at least in my opinion.

Adele is kind of a cheeky gal with a great sense of humor. I hope she wore that dress as a joke. Can´t wait to see what the Fashion Police have to say about it. It was just terrible!

I like Adele, and fun and Mumford and Sons. Maybe we are about to enter an era of interesting music and leave the screeching, auto-tunes and rap behind.

Kelly Clarkson sang Tennessee Waltz as a tribute to Patti Page. She was terrific. The Mumford and Sons performance was interesting. I kind of liked it.

I actually recognized all the nominees for best pop song and any one was alright with me. The others genres, not so much. For me louder doesn´t equal better. But when "Some Nights" by fun. and "Home" by Phillip Phillips come on the kick-a.. stereo in our Camaro, we crank up the volume. The bass is wow.
On a side note, pop music today unites us with our son and granddaughter. Three generations singing the same songs.

Aside from the images of Adele and Kelly, neither of whom I had heard of before reading the article, the pictures looked like a scene from one of the lower circles of hell.

This time Taylor Swift was genuinely surprised.

That Taylor Swift song about never, ever, ever, ever getting back together is the most shockingly bad song she has ever done. Calling it a song is being generous, it´s plain awful. My gym has played the same Adlele song for a couple years now and it´s painful to listen to, as well. Modern music is modern all right, but I can´t call it music.

I love Adele. And okay - I´ll take a stab at the ´´fashion police´´ spot. Her dress made her look like Grandma´s chesterfield. And shoes to match - oy...

Does anyone else think that Adele looks like a slightly more glamorous version of Hillary?

Adele is such a breath of fresh air, so talented and devoted to her craft. God bless her. She´s such a relief to the ear, after enduring year upon year of American ho tunes.

Not as good as opera, of course, but then... what is?

#12, nice to find a kindred spirit. I too appreciate Adele´s wonderful voice.

Swift and Rihanna are dumb as bricks. Swift can´t sing a range greater than 5 notes making her songs cringing to listen to. And really, how stupid do you have to be to intentionally get romanticly involved with a Kennedy? Rihanna can´t remember more than 5 words at a time (an after-effect of her beating at the hands of Chris Brown, who she can´t stay away from?) making her songs repetative and boring. I think Perry´s music is fun, but ultimately it´s just fluff. Plus she too has horrible tastes in men. No, the much more talented and versitle singers Adele and Clarkson are much more deserving of accolades than that trio of ditzbombs.

What shallow depths modern art has sunk to. She who has the most awards wins? Democracy is an expression of ambivalence and indolence. It renders greatness all but impossible.

How come all this new music sounds like it was stolen from REO Speedwagon and Pat Benatar?

With the exception of Rihanna, I have no idea who those people are.

Taylor swift and Rihanna, the Bruised Bananna always show up empty headed....Katy Perry cannot possible show up empty handed...if you know what i mean.
