I tuned in to CBS's live broadcast of the 51st annual Grammy Award Nomination Concert mainly because I was hoping that Taylor Swift would forget that her mike was live and say something bitchy to Joe Jonas. Needless to say I was sorely disappointed. I did see the usual Grammy suspects – Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and The Foo Fighters, proving that no one can make Carly Simon sound cool - and heard a few names get awkwardly read (I am pretty sure Celine Dion has never heard of Radiohead from her performance). Here is a partial list of those lucky artists who will undoubtedly have to suffer through more Celine and Mariah come February 8th:
