Did they show her actual performance? And if so, was it the whole thing? Also, they start from 50 and count down, right? Sorry for all the questions, it hasn't come on here yet and I was just wondering. :)

It was a 50 year celebration of the Grammy's and a top 25 countdown. Shania came in at #5 and they didn't show the performances in whole. And they said something about how hot the costume and Shania was and something about Shania's management team wondering if it was an acceptable outfit or something like that and then something about guys in the office auctioning of the photos.

I hope someone else remembers the details better. :funny:

This may be how TV looks in a few months: IN between reality shows and reruns there will be cut up versions of old awards shows, repackaged as new events.

"My Night at the Grammys" Friday on CBS was meant to the the first in what may be a long salute to the 50th anniversary of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences’ annual event.

It wasn’t a bad idea. Unlike the performances on the MTV Music Awards, which are rerun incessantly the week of the event only to live on in website archives, the often bigger Grammy performances come and go the night of the live broadcast.

There are far worse ways to spend a Friday night than hearing Aretha Franklin soar on Nessum Dorma once more, or Marvin Gaye return to sing "Sexual Healing."

One time only events on the Grammys from Elton John’s duet with Eminem to tributes to the Clash were great to see again – though a bunch of Americans (Bruce Springsteen, Dave Grohl, Little Steven) trading verses with one Brit (Elvis Costello) on "London Calling" was rather odd. Despite the 50-year mark, nothing went further back than the 1980s.

It would have been great, too, had we been able to bask in these full performances, rerun in their entirety one more time. But they were by and large truncated tapes, and even when they were playing, somebody would be popping up in a little frame telling us what a great performance it had been (well, if we could hear it, we might have that same reaction).

Faith Hill, Melissa Etheridge and Alicia Keys tried their hands as co-hosts of the look back (and for their trouble they were each awarded a clip in the top 25, no matter how well deserved).

There was less insider history than I'd expected. But there were little vignettes of acceptance speeches, some sweet presentation moments (including one involving John Lennon and Paul Simon giving an award to Olivia Newton-John that was accepted by Art Garfunkel). And there was a tiny glimpse of provacative fashion. But in an indication of how much permissiveness has changed on TV this century, that green peekaboo dress that J-Lo wore in 2000 that was much photographed and reproduced, could only be seen again on prime time CBS with her décolletage blurred out (and no, Janet Jackson was not in the Top 25).

And how about that final list of favorite ever Grammy performances? The 25 chosen from a bank of 50 clips online were pretty representative at the predominance of recent clips to choose from (reunions by the Police and Simon & Garfunkel didn’t make it). And while divas of a recent vintage tended to bunch up at the top of the list, the No. 1 performance, essentially the best Grammy performance ever is one that the act wouldn’t even admit was one of its better performances.

Check the list on the jump.

I haven't had any time yet to watch it, but I couldn't resist fast-forwarding my VCR until I either found her or didn't, yikes! Anyway, after I had run by about 1 1/2 hours, I started to get a little nervous and worried that she didn't get picked.:shocked:But then as my VCR was flying by and I saw #5 and yea that fantastic outfit, I reveresd and got to the beginning. I remember watching it that night it aired and it is still a special moment for me and I'm sure everyone else here.http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/663.gif

I noticed that too, way shorter, and Shania wasn't there to give a comment like a lot of others did. Oh well. :(

#5 is great considering how little Shania has been in the limelight the last three years but still in the minds enough to get her fifth. :) I bet she could have squeezed out another spot or two if she was currently in the limelight. ;)

And I kind of thought it was rude the way Alica Keys said something about "I don't mean to disrespect the next artist" meaning Shania and all they could talk about was how hot Shania looked and it had everything to do about her physical appearance and stuff about photos or whatever. :mad:
