The day has arrived, kittens, and the 52nd annual Grammy Awards ceremony will air tonight! With performances expected from Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Pink, Mary J. Blige, Roberta Flack, The Black Eyed Peas, Jeff Beck, Eminem, Dave Matthews Band, and plenty of other musical luminaries, tonight's ceremony promises to pack one helluva punch!
The Grammys will be broadcast on CBS at 8 p.m. ET/8 p.m. PT. And if you're a poor bastard who's not on Eastern time, like me, but you still want to be able to watch and comment right here with the folks who get to watch it first, you can catch an online stream of the show. I'll be posting links to viable streams as soon as I find them as the broadcast gets underway tonight at 8 p.m. ET, so check the comments thread below for more details. And if you're watching tonight, be sure to join in on the shameless fannishness and EPIC SMACK TALK we'll be engaging in right here on Velvetpark during the show!
So who's your money on for tonight's award winners? You'll never ever guess who I think is going to sweep 'em...

*Updated
11:53 P.M. Okay, so Gaga didn't clean up at the Grammys as I had hoped, but even Celine Dion made proper obeisance to the new reigning Queen of Pop at tonight's ceremony, for which I am willing to publically forgive her for "My Heart Will Go On." And on. And on. And on...

Over the top?
Okay, I think Taylor Swift is very talented but what Ryan Seacrest said was a bit over the top, right? I mean we have seen talented country singers her age come and go and then come back and then go out again. Can I hear a Tanya Tucker?
Still searching for the right brainy quote.
Plus this
And did I hear an out-of-tune from Taylor?

Is that her mom?

Tae! That's 10 VP demerit
Tae! That's 10 VP demerit points!
I'm sorry!
I miss this intros with all the noise and I was so overwhelmed with the lack of variance or any sense of tonality in Swift that I was missing the better picture. They should have just had Stevie doing the lead.
I just muted it for the MJ nonsense and am going for a potty break in his honor. Does that win me back my points?
I don't get it.
Sometimes her voice seems to go up when it needs to go down and she is way too 12 year old for me.
MJ?
Seriously? Do they have to do another michael Jackson tribute?
I HEAR YOU and with....
Celine Dion........It's wrong....really really wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's just not the Grammy's
It's just not the Grammy's without a country star pandering to nationalism.
That last set made me think,
That last set made me think, "When is Lady Gaga coming back on!"

(Every set makes me think
(Every set makes me think that.) Has anybody seen her in the crowd yet when they pan over during the performance sets? If you spot her, let me know who she's sitting by so I can fanstalk her more accurately.
She's sitting behind Elton
She's sitting behind Elton John.
Break time!
Be back after this .......... song

One thing I'll say for
One thing I'll say for otherwise uber-cheesy country bands like these guys, they are awesome musicians when it comes to their instruments.
Alice Cooper is about to eat
Alice Cooper is about to eat Katy Perry's arm right off his shoulder.

Little bit?
Who is the little bit with Beyonce on his mind? The kid who flubbed his lines.
