08:24 Commercial Break over. The Grammy's are having mini interview introduction for each performance. John Legend performs "Ordinary People." Like the song it's just John and his piano.
08:29 After coming back from a bathroom break, a country act is singing onstage. Who is it? We're too bored to find out. Flips to One Tree Hill.
08:33 Finally someone we know. Alison Krauss and Union Station wins Best Country Album.
08:39 U2's Bono announces that U2 is not a rock but more like a folk band. Okay.

08:46 Crash co-stars Matt Dillon & Ludacris presents Best Rap Album. We pick Common but Kanye will probably win.
08:48 Kanye wins. Why is Kanye wearing shades and gloves? Pulls out a big "Thank You List." The joke is lost with the Grammy audience.

Watch The Performance: Kelly Clarkson - Because of You09:01 Stefani & Billie Joe Armstrong presents Best Rock album. U2 wins. We flip to Lost for a minute.
09:08 Ellen DeGeneres doesn't introduce the next performer. She simply says "Our next performer needs no introduction" and walks off stage. Paul McCarthny performs. We love this man.
09:17 Black Eyed Peas won earlier for Rap Performance by a Duo or Group presents an award. We haven't watched Jennifer Love Hewitt's new show on CBS. Is it any good? No. Okay won't watch it then.
09:19 John Legend wins for Male R&B Vocal Performance.
09:27 Mariah Carey sings one of Aeki Tuesday's favorite guilty pleasure song of 2005.
09:31 Mariah seems to struggle reaching those high notes. Which is a shocker but then she finishes with that 12th octave note we no so well.
09:33 Best Pop Vocal Album... we pick KELLY!
09:34 Kelly wins!! She rushes to Gwen to make sure she doesn't stand up again mistaking Kelly's name for her name.
09:35 Kelly sends a shout out to everyone but her chef. But it's cute.

09:58 - 10:08 The Sly & The Family Stone Celebrity Sing-a-long. Featuring Joss Stone, John Legend, Van Hunt, Fantasia, Frankie J, Maroon5, Ciarra, Will.i.am, Steven Tyler & Joe Perry. [10:00] Is Joss Stone barefoot? We can't tell since our close-captioning is blocking her feet from view. [10:02] We love Will.i.am. Really. [10:04] Sly comes out on stage with a big blonde mohawk. His mic needs to be turned up. His head is facing down on the keys. He really didn't want to be there did he? This is sort of lackluster. Sly walks off the stage while the music still plays.
10:13 LL Cool J talks about Robert Johnson. If you haven't heard of Robert Johnson you must must must buy this album. You'll love it.
10:15 What the hell are you waiting for: Jay-Z & Linkin Park are onstage.
