Opiated, your 2nd post in this thread is a very nice and simple reminder as to why I never ever ever ever watch the Grammys. Thank you!

I didn't think Madonna was all that bad, and I also don't think she lip synched. There were two instances that I can recall that she pulled the mic away from her face and there were no main vocals, but there was a background (pre-recorded?) voice that sounded like Madonna... and I've heard that performers use a technique like that live so their own voice doesn't sound too thin or off-key. I thought she was quite good.
I also thought the performances were kicked up a notch this year as compared to in the past. I could have done without Mariah's drama-queen arm waving song though... but meh, overall it wasn't that bad.
I was shocked that Kelly Clarkson took the awards she did, especially considering the company she was keeping in her categories. I never thought she'd win; I still don't think she should have.

madonna was lip synching for sure at the start of her "performance", and for sure at the end..the middle part i'm not so sure about, as the vocals seemed to dip down a little in quality...

sorry MP@W. You kinda left that door open and i had to walk through it!
But i do have quite a bit of respect for Madonna though - as a pop icon - not especially as a vocalist, per se.
She had the smarts and the acumen to recognize that there was a huge market out there that was hers for the taking and she jumped right into it with both.....uh...feet.
