The Grammys tend to get forgotten this time of year, with the Super Bowl one week before the ceremony and the Oscars two weeks after. But this year’s ceremony should be a good one: Justin Timberlake, Frank Ocean, the Black Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Miguel, and Jack White, among others, are scheduled to perform, with tributes planned for Levon Helm and Dave Brubeck, too. The nominee list ain’t too shabby, either, with Alabama Shakes, Fiona Apple, Arcade Fire, M83, Bruce Springsteen, R. Kelly, Nas, Kanye West, and the Roots showing up in key categories.
So, let’s hang out on Sunday night, beginning at 8 p.m. EST on CBS, and watch the Grammys. We’ll praise our favorite bands, trash Beliebers and whatever Maroon 5 fans call themselves, and get drunk together. Sound fun?

Well, it just aired here on the West Coast, but that tribute to Levon Helm was amazeballs.
This was fun. Lots of surprising positivity here. When Oscar time comes around I’lll definitely be here. Goodnight everybody
You guys made this fun. Cant wait for the Oscars.
Indeed it was. That’s going to be a fun night.
Thank you Uproxx for making this tolerable.
Thank you for chatting!
Goodnight everyone!
River Tamm forced into a fight? But don’t they know… no power in the ‘verse can stop her…
Ok, now Im watching The Walking Dead.
Did I miss the hip hop category? Or was Nas right and it truly is dead.
thanks for hosting, LL. FLY DELTA PLEASEANDTHANKYOU.
Lets run promos over LL’s performance.
Fuck you, Grammys.
lol, CBS
They are using commercials to play off these guys huh?
Huh,? Ads over LL? This is incredible.
Welp, at least he didn’t go with “Ratchet”…
MCA!!
LL rapping? Unless this is the Cannibus diss or his verse from Four Seasons, I’m going to bed.
Ripper Returns still burns.
I had that on a bonus disc that came with a DMX CD. Played that til the disc dissolved.
Where is Terminator X?
this show is one live performance of “Mama Said Knock You Out” from making me go from loving music, to hating music, to loving music again all within a three and half hour span…
Two mics are needed.
Tom Morello is not your friend, Mr. J.
Rock the Bells.
Wait… Francocean. It’s all coming together.
Well done
I’m starting to think Frank Ocean is a James Franco-style performance artist.
I’m not sure that Ocean could give us a dicknosing like Franco could.
/nears making a Pierce Hawthorne-like joke
Just so you know, this feed is the only thing keeping me from watching the extra long Downton Abbey that’s still recording but burning a huge hole in my DVR right now…
no regrets
Not a bad album, but that award should’ve gone to the Black Keys’ El Camino
That was a spectacular beard on that guy.
/Adele gets out umbrella
/floats away
well her dress does look like it was made out of recycled carpet bags…
Good for them. Totally deserved.
Agreed
YEAH!!
This is all I think when Adele talks
[www.youtube.com]
“I’m a pump english girl who just had a baby but I’m Adele so IDGF…”
Oi, its da Grammys, innit Tommy?
i enjoy frank ocean quite a bit, but that sounded woefully off-key.
Show em how it’s done Frank Ocean. Now THAT would have been the time for a cut to Chris Brown.
Ocean is outta tune. Great visual concept tho!
Where is he running to? What is going on?
/pans to Taylor Swift whistling along
This is one of those moments where I wonder if Ocean’s only considered great because of his voice…
He’s talented, but he gets a lot of pub because of his sexuality and general uniqueness
Wait…. is he seriously singing about Forrest Gump?
Sure is. And pulling it off too.
It’s a metaphor
Why does everyone love this guy? It wasn’t anything special.
Quick CBS pan to Chris Brown for a reaction!
Oh that’s a cool set design.
Yeah super creative.
The legs on the side are awesome two
Who is this guy? Pepe Silva?
He’s singing the song in Spanish. It’ll be in a Taco Bell commercial soon.
Drew Magary suggested Jack White play sabotage to honor MCA. That would be awesome
BIG fan.
I nominate this for a Grammy
Best jugband?
If I were Portia, I wouldn’t be intimidated by Perry either, but everyone enjoys a good view…
I nominate this for a Fappy

YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU YOU OUGHTA KNOW
who the hell was that turd?

Ellen knows where its at.
Good wife Portia doesn’t mind at all
That is fantastic. Embedding above.
Every Grammy performance should be unique collaborations like this.
Give it 5 minutes, they’ll screw it up with a cut to Chris Brown.
They made some great choices for people to sing this….
SING IT BRITTANY HOWARD
she’s pretty ok at singing.
Perfect choice for her.
Mumford kinda looks like Tom Hardy.
