i "tivoed" the grammys mainly to see our gal doris day's mention and guess what I THOUROUGHLY ENJOYED THEM! for the first time in many many years i actually related to the music and most of the songs. i loved seeing keely smith and kid rock together, mixing the old and the new. and TINA what a gal! she looks fantastic! and can still rock! i am now a new fan of some of the singers and since i still have the grammys on tivo i plan on cleaning today and rocking with the grammys!

I agree, Debey, this year the Awards show was very entertaining. That duet with Beyonce and Tina Turner - WOW! And speaking of WOW ... didn't Natalie Cole look incredible? ... She's hardly changed at all, and very old-style glamorous!

sorry no pic of keely, but picture this, the same hairdo, same great voice and sassiness just a little more seasoned. and yes, natalie cole is the epitome of style and class. beyonce is a mini tina. and ringo has not changed one bit at all! i guess this year there was a little bit for everyone and for me i did not find myself trying to figure out "what the hell were they singing and you call that music"? i hope that does not offend anyone as i know how personal music is and que sera sera, but i like everything from queen to doris day and my husband loves the 60's and 70's. let me get back to my vacuuming and TINA and BEYONCE. that's worth an encore!

After hearing The Essential Capitol Collection some listeners will no doubt be left pondering why the names of Rosemary Clooney, Doris Day, Peggy Lee, Dinah Shore, Kay Starr, Patti Page, Anita O'Day, June Christy and all the rest get mentioned ahead of Keely Smith in any discussion of the female singers who came to the public's attention in the 1950s. Is it because she says “ma” instead of “my”? “Hort” instead of ”heart”? Or because she's just too consistently perfect not to be taken for granted? Perhaps—and this is a big “perhaps”—she was a bit too quick to separate her life from her art. Maybe if we felt we got to know just a little more of the person behind that deadpan Buster Keaton face with the perfect angelic voice, we'd be less likely to overlook her undeniable claim to the top spot.
