I watched about two hours of the show yesterday. I think Trevor Noah does a good job as host. It was mostly about music performances. I think we were about thirty minutes in before they handed out an award. In most cases (probably all) I didn't know any of the songs up for the award and had only a passing recognition of the artist. I saw a lot of really bad tattoos. And a lot of tattoos in general. There was a lot of cleavage on display as well, which I am not against.
I did see the live performance of WAP which must have gotten the conservatives up in arms.
They did a lot of the performances consecutively with the performers in the same spot. And after a performer was done they would watch the next performance and the cameras could cut to them to see if they were enjoying the show. Harry Styles went into Billie Eilish into Haim. So, you had shot of Harry Styles watching Billie balanced precariously on the roof of tilted Dodge Charger.
It was fun to see the artist singing along to other people's hits. During the country portion a new African-American singer I'm not familiar with, Mickey Guyton, sang along to Miranda Lambert's Blue Bird song. Mickey Guyton's song 'Black Like Me' was remarkable for it's calling out country music and probably the US for it's racism.
Still more Grammy's to go. I'd like to hear some Rock music, but I don't know who provide that. All Haim came kind of close.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
