While Adele deserved all the awards but one fan base I feel sorry for: Lady Gaga fans. I am not a big fan of Gaga but I know they are just crying wondering why their idol could not win the album of the year. I feel that Lady Gaga is so overpromoted that major music awards refuse to give an award to someone who is clearly overrated. That message was sent so strongly yesterday. I mean I am sure that Gaga fanatics will go and insult Adele for winning the album of the year. I love Adele and she won all the awards. Adele is something unique. But don't worry Lady Gaga, she will probably have a good tour with her born this way tour.

Gaga's Born This Way album is very,very average IMO, not anywhere near as good as her Fame Monster album...which was pretty good IMO!

I enjoyed Macca with Joe Walsh,,,his acoustic on My Valentine was impeccable and he appeared to be really into it. GaGa was virtually ignored..she'll be back !!! I don't really think she's a dedicated "mainstream" artist at heart ...too talented and wants to do experimental things and branch out ! She's not really my cup of tea but I can't ignore her talent ! Her costumes have nothing to do with her inner spirit ! I just laugh at the fashion she comes up with !
Loved Bruno Mars and I enjoyed seeing Dave Grohl singing with Macca on his possibly swan song performance..Dave was very happy to be there !,,guitar jam was great !
Jennifer Hudson's tribute song to Whitney was very moving !
No surprise that the Amazing Adele swept the awards !....next album Adele 22 or 23 ???..lol
All in all excellent performances and Nickie Manaj's Exorcism of Roman was brilliant !,,very off the wall and avant garde !!!

I agree with you 100 percent but if you said to Lady Gaga fanatics, they would so insult you. They would call so many names that I can not mention. That is the thing, the Gaga fanatics are so mad and I bet they are just throwing darts at a picture of Adele.

I'm not a big Gaga fan but I feel she didn't because she took a slightly different direction on Born This Way. I enjoyed the album but I think everybody was focused on Adele's raw singing talents. You just don't see that in mainstream music too often.

A agree Gaga is trying to break away from what shes known for. Bruno Mars did a remarkable show, I find him to be very underrated. He hit it with "The Lazy Song" and "Grenade" and no one really listens to his other stuff. Plus he has a huge hand in the production of a lot of artists.
I was very happy with Foo Fighters win, I was rooting for them. Does anyone listen to Radiohead? Because I was really underwhelmed with King of Limbs.
