I am jewish and I probably would have lowered my head. I don't even know if anyone is up there listening but it can't hurt and maybe it makes her kid feel better. I didn't see it as a religious thing, it never dawned on me I was watching a religious moment. Not being religious doesn't mean one is anti-religious, and this just seems like a custom that when in Rome do like the romans do. At least that is how I go with religion. If you put me in a church I will say the appropriate prayer for whoever died. If I am at a temple, I will say the hebrew prayer. I think the most important thing is not what my religion is but what the dead person's religion was. And if they had no religion then there should be no prayer.

ITA quartermainefan. And Whitney was raised in the church, the church in which her mother is still a choir director. LL did start the prayer with "Heavenly Father", but that imo is pretty universal speak for God even if he had the God of Christianity in mind. I really don't want to get OT, but it's interesting to me how all shows of religion/belief in a higher power have become such awkward, seat-shifting/eye-rolling moments. I mean, I get it when you're a rapper thanking your Lord & Savior Jesus Christ for your hit single "I Want a 'Bust All Up in Her Booty' Kinda Bitch", but I remember how some fans got so uncomfortable when Jonathan Jackson would thank J.C. when he won his Emmys for example.

well stuff like that always makes me want to ask "so Jonathan, why do you think Jesus wanted the other guy to lose?" Every athlete who wins insists Jesus was on their side, but that means he was actively rooting against the other guy. That would be pretty cool if Jesus had a TV somewhere and checked out the acting reels and made the call, but I am gonna need more research on that.

I never understand comments that say awards show are boring because I see them for every single awards show. LOL I love award shows! LOL

Though I do like Nicki Minaj's music, I thought her performance was horrible and so was her song (she has better songs on her album, so I have no idea why she chose one of the worst songs). I think that type of performance is more suited for the MTV Music Awards where it's geared toward the younger crowd and the performances are more outragerous.

Adele winning was obvious but well deserved.

I thought my Taylor Swift looked great and actually sounded good on television for once. LOL

Who/what was that act with the crazy mouse look and people were wearing the mouse ears? That was interesting.

I thought J-Hud tribute to Whitney was pretty good.

The guitar jam session at the end was so cool!

Just saw Minaj's performance. My cable was going out last night. Uhm, the acting in it was really bad, but I like that she put effort into doing something potentially interesting. A for effort, but C-/D for the whole idea and performance.

    • It wasn't his first appearance, though; per the end credits, he is a principal guest star (a.k.a. recurring).
    • Vanessa was flirty with Smitty, and it was weird. Smitty didn't think anything about it was cute or fun. The sex talk between Cody and Vanessa at Orphey Gene's? Also weird af. We needed either a longer scene or another scene to make any of that work. Vanessa is coming off like a nymphomaniac. Forced for plot convenience, just as it was when we saw Eva (HUH???) in that casino backroom. Sorry, none of this casino stuff works. I thought the same thing -- I enjoyed all the different character groupings, but the dialogue was not natural and didn't flow. Yep, kinda weird. I don't get it. Of course, I also don't get the discussion of not having Doug as the surgeon. Is he the only doctor anyone trusts? Then we have June's entire heart procedure talked about, performed, and over within 20 minutes of screen time. -- Cady McClain gives us a different variation of that accent every time she appears. The dialogue between Pamela and Dani is too cute by half. -- BTG, please stop mentioning Martin's run for the presidency. -- I hope we're not going to see Ted soften towards Dana and be taken in by her line of bull. She just blew up his life, and I don't want to see him sympathize with her in any way.
    • Agree.  But I would describe him as being disappointed not bitter. 
    • >>><<< Great minds!  Kat certainly does prove that point. She's been given a lot to work with, so we shouldn't be bored of her anytime soon. I am interested in all her storylines at the moment, and curious how the show will use the affair to impact her romances and business stories. Well, what movie was it? Cause… I noticed it too. The first couple of seconds of the song were slightly different. OMG! Great call, precisely the same situation.
    • I think Kin was dissatisfied at GH in as much as Scotty had been pushed aside for Luke/Laura and the writing was doing him no favors as Scotty was now seen as an obstacle to their romance. So with his contract up he was offered big $$$ to move to Texas, which you can't blame him for. In addition to the money, I recall he was promised that Jeb would be a more dynamic character than Scotty. The money came through but not the story, so  don't blame him for being  slightly bitter.

    • A random thought - June is related to Hayley AND Tyrell and Samantha. Hayley and June are sisters separated when young. Years later June's children Ty and Sam end up being adopted into the Dupree family, coincidentally giving Hayley a further link to that family.
    • He spoke highly of the cast but was disappointed in his lack of story.  He was not disrespectful and he has the right to express his feelings.
    • I like Nicole the most, because she's the only normal person, even if she slides into psych-analyzing speak. I like Anita--but I suspect that's more about my attachment to Tamara Tunie. I'm on the fence about Dani--but I don't see her as the underdog vs. Nicole. Dani had her a fabulous life. Nicole might not have lived in her sister's shadow, but it seems like Dani gets the attention in the family.
    • I definitely wouldn't mind seeing him again. I understand.  BUT...a start.
