Grammy telecast begins w/reunion of Sting and the Police...
I love this Grammy telecast, at least the first 15 minutes of it. I have heard of the performers and winners to so far. First off, The Police reunited and simply turned back the clock with the opening song, "Roxanne." They sounded great and that kind of reunion is so rare and special. That was followed by a Grammy win for Tony Bennett (his second tonight) and Stevie Wonder for their duet "For Once in My Life" from Bennett's "Duets" CD. Tony's speech was similar to the non-televised one only this time when he thanked tour sponsor Target, the audience laughed! Tony didn't much care.
Said Wonder: "This is an amazing moment for me..I have to tell you all, this is a bittersweet, sweet moment. I have to accept this award in memory of my m other."
Now Beyonce, introduced by Prince, is singing "Listen" from "Dreamgirls." It. Is. Glorious. Love it. Love her. She is dazzling. Absolutely fantastic performance. She was preceded by the Dixie Chicks who performed "Not Ready to Make Nice" and what I loved most, was that they were introduced by the great Joan Baez who is a Grammy Legend recipient tonight.
