Yes, Sue, Sugarland is absolutely fake. I've been around all of Jennifer Nettles incarnations as a singer, because I have local musician friends. Also, two friends toured with Sugarland. She went to Agnes Scott and was a singer-songwriter in the dark and whiny genre here in Decatur for years and Kristian Bush was part of a folk-rockish local duo. The really talented person was Kristin Hall, who actually put the band together. She left two years ago, I suspect largely because the whole fake accent big hair thing was so at odds with her personality.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Stevie, babe, wtf?
Though I've got to say, having seen the Jonas Brothers for the first time I have to say they're adorable and that were I a tween I'd be all over that. I've always had a weakness for singing siblings.

I kinda like it (the Katy Perry fruit extravaganza). She's like a cross between Esther Williams and Carmen Miranda.

I just caught the end of Katy Perry. Was the rest as dismal?

If Estelle is going to lip-sync she should really make more of an effort.

I went to high school with Kristian Bush's brother Brandon, who has been touring with Sugarland as the keyboardist and spent today updating Facebook from the Grammy rehearsals. It's very amusing. Brandon is not at all country, though he is a good musician, and he was pretty good at calculus 19 years ago too.
Also, I am kind of starting to love Justin Timberlake, and Whitney Houston was definitely doped up on something. She practically had a British accent and her facial muscles didn't move. So sad.
