I guess Adam is a great example. Of honoring but not becoming. Adam finds a rare balance of channeling the spirit of Freddie. But also putting his unique take on it. I never felt the spirit of Bowie in Gagas tribute.

I thought Sam Smith did look very natty - so sweet of Adam to tweet that.

Just watched Gaga. Was she lipsyncing? Her mic use was strange. It didn't seem to match what I was hearing. And, was she trying to imitate Bowie's voice? The tone was weird. I only have a passing familiarity with Bowie's work. If I hadn't read all the raving about what an artist, innovator, and inspiration he was, if I only watched this tribute, I would be totally unimpressed with his legacy. I don't get it. Yes glad you thought so too...she was lipsynching..and/ or not even moving her mouth when the lyrics continued for a few beats. Just sad that it showed ...too much going on and in one case she was thinking ahead to the next phase/ changing costume etc when it was very visible. Edit: glad the Grammy's are over....w e have had such enjoyment in Adam land over the past months.....cannot wait for next week! |

twitter.com/BAHjournalistBrian A. Hernandez @bahjournalist 21m21 minutes ago The reason why @adele's audio sounded off during her "All I Ask" #GRAMMYs performance. When a mic drop isn't good...

I found the whole show boring. Way too many slow performances. Audio engineer or sound mixer or whoever was responsible for the sound, needs tobe fired! Horrible! Have never seen a mess like tonight's show!
I love Gaga but that tribute was just a "no" for me.

I think now I understand Nile's tweet yesterday, when he couldn't make it to the CD party to perform with Adam, because they had to work very late at the Grammy's. |

Switching topics for a moment -- I thought that two performances were great - Hamilton (+best acceptance speech bonus) and Kendrick Lamar (+most of the audience still don't understand what he was talking about). I've never listened to Kendrick Lamar and generally don't care for rap or much hiphop, but I've got to admit that performance mesmerized me. I couldn't catch much of what he was saying in half the song though! |

So the piano mic was screwed but what about hers? She seemed more out of whack than just the obivious piano issue. |

It was about the whole show -- the music he wrote, the characters he created, the themes and shows. This video captures a bit of his spark....from 1972: youtu.be/xMQ0Ryy01yEHere are a few examples: From 1973....Space Oddity youtu.be/pXSGocWifAgDavid Bowie Glass Spider tour live full concert 87 youtu.be/l9fQTQ6z324Heroes -- He starts out with chatter that Adam could have said --How you doing hah.
