The Police....that was cool. They certainly won't embarass themselves if they do a full on tour, not like a lot of elder statesman that probably should go away now. Did anyone see background vocalists? I could clearly hear sting singing the background roxaaaaaaaaanne part, so maybe it was a backing track.

Jamie Fox....I know the guy is immensely talented, but does anyone else immediately think Shanaynay the second the guy takes off his sunglasses. Something about his mouth too, like it's stuck in Shanaynay forever.

Anyway. I'm going to see the Police. Tickets should only be $400 or $500 a pop.

Why would Jamie Foxx be stuck as Shanaynay forever when he never did that to begin with?

I hate to break it to you but that is not Shanaynay. Shanaynay was on "Martin" done obviously by Martin Lawrence. The character in the picture is "Wanda" from In Living Color.

The Dixie Chicks cleaned up, and while I don't give a rats ass about their music or even like it, I do understand that their winning was a very good thing.

Not a fan either but feel good for them after the country music industry held their Bush comments against them, and many country music radio stations would not play the song "ready to make nice" which one song of the year "

Looks like the chicks get the last laugh..

They did not win one CMA award but clean up on grammys

They gave Tony Bennett and Stevie Wonder less time. They need to limit you to 100 people that you can thank, she went way over and then she doesn't bother to thank U2??

Dixie Chicks to Country Music Association: nah-nah
DAVID BAUDER
Associated Press

The Dixie Chicks' Natalie Maines couldn't resist the rich irony - or the chance to rub their success in the face of a country-music establishment that turned its back on them.

"That's interesting," Maines said in picking up the band's Grammy Award for best country album on Sunday. Country radio stations have largely ignored the band after Maines' infamous 2003 remarks critical of President Bush on a London stage.

"Well, to quote the great Simpsons: heh-heh," she said.

The Dixie Chicks' "Not Ready to Make Nice," a blistering retort to their critics following the incident, had already won the Grammy for song of the year. They drew several standing ovations from an audience well aware that their victories had a political point attached.

On the eve of the Iraq war in 2003, Maines told a London audience: "Just so you know, we're ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas." That immediately made the band targets of hate mail, boycotts and talk-radio shouters.

"We wouldn't have done this album without everything we went through, so we have no regrets," Robison said. "I thank everyone who voted for us."

Roxanne, with a nice jazz bridge, so its a done deal...good

TKE683 · Feb 12, 2007

It was good, but something less predictable than Roxanne would have been nice.

Bennyshoe · Feb 12, 2007

Roxanne was good but maybe a medley of their hits would have been nice to open up the show.

Give me a little "Can't Stand Losing You"
