Feist seemed very nervous and her performance was just plain bad. Plus, she didn't win any Grammys. Amy Winehouse won a ton of Grammys and her performance was fantastic. So why is Feist being featured here?

I think she's the greatest thing to happen Adult Contemporary music since Jewel and Alanis Morissette!

Posted by Anonymous | February 11, 2008 10:07 AM

having not wasted my time watching the grammys, i can't comment on this particular performance... but her live show is great. Seriously, you people who hate anyone because they become a little popular in the mainstream are just annoying

Posted by Anonymous | February 11, 2008 10:27 AM

Either mocky's a huge man or feist is a tiny woman
E bet mr mickey mouse motherfucker never thought he'd end up at the grammy's.

Posted by snag | February 11, 2008 11:34 AM

I finally saw her SNL performance this weekend and I thought that was better. Then again, must be verve wrecking to play the grammy's. Nevertheless, I felt it was quite a defining moment for the current/Canadian/ex-BSS/indie crew; heck, even for Indie Pop/Rock as a whole, no? That you know, Indie's the New Hip Hop.... Or rather, indie's now mainstream.....

Posted by Anonymous | February 11, 2008 11:59 AM

Haha, by "verve" wrecking, I meant "nerve" wrecking... though "verve"'d be funnier....

Posted by Anonymous | February 11, 2008 12:01 PM

^^^Especially since a Verve Records exec concocted Herbie Hancock's Joni Mitchell jazz tribute album idea which ended up blindsiding both Amy and Kanye last night.

Posted by Anonymous | February 11, 2008 12:24 PM

Why does everyone refer to her as "indie"????? last time I checked Interscope/Universal wasn't "indie"

Just a marketing term for douchebags to get excited I suppose....

By nerve wrecking, did you mean nerve-racking?
