	I was hooting for the Gorillaz to win"Record of the year"but they lost to greenday.I mean why would a 2 year old cd win that award?Gorillaz were never overplayed like some retaded punks.Besides,they won "best pop colaberation award/vocals".But for us fans out here,they will always be albam of the year.

i hated the missy elliot video. i'm upset about that one.

and yea, i was a little disappointed with the performance since it was a re-hash (haha, that's a gorillaz song) of the EMA performance. it looked a whole lot better this time around, like they were about to improve on the technology a bit. but the stage was just not to my liking, either.

be glad the tour isn't for another year, year and a half!

	Well, kinda new it would happen, but seeing it is completely different. Madonna's ass just had to butcher up the Gorillaz performance ;_; Her funky self is begining to show her age anyway. Kinda looks like she raided Michael Jacksons wardrobe X3 (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Oh...that was kind of diappointing. It was the EMA music awards, except they changed the animations for Russell and 2D so they moved a bit more. They were on a puny stage and seemed a little too bright and unrealistic... They were much better at EMA, I think. (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	Damn, if they lost to shit like that on smaller categories, I doubt they'll win the Record of the Year. And the Gorillaz/Madonna thing was as I thought it was going to be. A bit of recycled gorillaz 3D, then a bunch of modonna's song. (Reply to this)

	mekou 2006-02-09 01:12 am UTC (link)
	I was very much amused by the performance, actually. Especially the part when Murdoc started eyeing her over. XD (Reply to this) (Thread)(Expand)

	loserpimp 2006-02-09 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, I thought that was pretty realistic X3 Especially how they got her to walk in front of and then behind Muds (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Really good transition to Madonna's part but... yeah. They looked too bright... (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They're big deals by themselves and an even bigger deal together, but they still looked small-time and out of their depths last night. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Damn... (Anonymous) 2006-02-09 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Gorillaz as an opening act, and didn't even get to finish their song. Not to mention the fact that they recycled the EMA animations...Noodle kept falling off that stool. It would've been nice if they'd cut away from Madonna long enough to show Noodle's "bored" animation, though...or Murdoc scratching himself. (Reply to this)

	(Anonymous) 2006-02-09 01:17 am UTC (link)
	Madonna did ruin that performance. But it gave me an idea! Gorillaz should present an award. Wouldn't that be awesome? Or maybe just have 2D and Murdoc. I can just imagine it. They get up make some jokes (like at Manchester). And then 2D says the nominees while Murdoc makes comments on how they suck. I'd have to say that'd be pretty hilarious!

	the performance let me down, but i did like how they looked this time. i think someone already said it but ya the tech was better this time. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Last time they said that, they delivered, and I think they will this time, and Socket will be the launching point. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	At least we got one. I think we should have at least won best video too...Lose control isn't that good. I get to see the performance 3 hours late...cause Iive I live in CA. At least I won't have my hopes up for the performance. I'm dissapointed they used the EMA one...at least it's kinda different. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	But still (Anonymous) 2006-02-09 01:41 am UTC (link)
	We still got a grammy and thats a big honor, I hope they'll win recored of the year but still we got one, I'm proud of that Gorillaz looked liked the EMA's performence and Madonna got most of the time -_- but still it was Gorillaz!!! Muds eyeing her was funny ^_^ But if Greenday wins >_< I'll stab myself cuz their stuff gets overplayed GO GORILLAZ!!!!!!!!!! (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Nope. At the bottom of the screen they have this "Grammys Awarded Earlier" thing for the sub-categories. And it had "Best Pop Collab. With Vocals" up there (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	It's not that we're looking for things to complain about, it's just that the bad noticeably outweighed the good. They should have just kept the original EMA footage for Gorillaz fans/others that did not see it, rather than butchering it with another act that started right in the middle.

	That was less the Gorillaz wperforming with Madonna than it was Madonna bursting in and completely taking over the last 75% of the song. It would have been nice to see some new animation. If they wanted it to be really great, they shoulda had the hologram Madonna make out Murdoc before making her exit to the stage. (Reply to this)

	(Anonymous) 2006-02-09 02:11 am UTC (link)
	I hate to sound mean, but their performance this time was sort of dull. I don't know, but they should have used a different song. They should have done Dare. I'm not really a fan of Madonna's newer stuff, but she pretty much upstaged them. :( Well, atleast they one an award. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Agreed on all parts. Yeah, I feel kind of ripped off. I would've loved to see them accept the award for best pop collaboration, but that was shunted for whatever reason. And I was all psyched to see Muds in that steel cape he kept harping about. Damn. @_@ (Reply to this) (Parent)(Thread)(Expand)

	Gorillaz are up against some tough stuff for Record of the Year - including Kanye West and Green Day. Though I'm still very hopeful, I'm thinking they might walk away with just one Grammy tonight; though, that's still wicked awesome, all things considered. :) Kneel and pray, children, you never know!
