The woman with BB KING is called Erika Badoo (don't know if that's how you spell it!!). She definetly sings better than she presents (understatement)....."bad do" being a fair observation!
James Taylor and YoYo MA were a treat though:>)
As usual though all the awards that I would want to see being presented are done so when the cameras aren't there!!
Big cheer for " Lost in the lonesome pines" Ralph Stanley and Jim Launderdale. Now if THEY had played it would have made the whole shambles worth watching.
The event never fails to come over as disorganised chaos puncuated with smatterings of greatness. A stomach churning embarrasement for some viewers well me anyway, as they watch person after person fumble. trip and otherwise blow their 2 minutes of fame and for some, their opportunity to perform live without the "studio" help and failing miserably...............James Taylor and YoYo Ma though.......lovely.
