I watched neither show because I have zero tolerance for what passes as "entertainment" when it comes to the music scene. Everything you said about 'flavor of the week' is spot on. Most of the acts that currently dominate the airwaves as well as the Award Shows will not go the distance. They will fade into obscurity, much like the "award" they claim that night. No one will remember either beyond the 15 minutes of fame they milked.

Great review Mac.
