Posted: February 12th, 2008 at 9:51 am  |  By: Chet Flippo  

Outtakes from the Grammys:

A reaction from a non-country fan about Vince Gill's Beatle remark to Kanye West: "I didn't know Vince Gill was funny."

Another non-country fan after Brad Paisley's performance of "Ticks": "I didn't know Brad Paisley could play guitar like that."

Carrie Underwood, on accepting her Grammy for country female vocal: "I voted for myself. I have no shame..."

Ricky Skaggs, after winning with The Whites for Southern, country or bluegrass gospel album: "This is my thirteenth Grammy but this is the sweetest because I got it with my dearest friends."

"Before He Cheats" co-writer Chris Tompkins on the song: "When I started the song I had Gretchen Wilson in mind for it."

The producers of the winning historical album by Woody Guthrie, The Live Wire: "This is the holy grail of folk music."

    Well if that non-country fan liked Brad Paisley, then he would love Keith Urban. I thought Brad’s performance on the Grammy’s was very boring. I’ve never liked that “Ticks” song of his! Carrie’s performance was great! So glad she recorded BHCs instead of Gretchen Wilson!

    Unbelievable that you would think that guy was boring??

    Twice the guitar player that Urban is because he can do it all……..country, jazz, rock and outplayed John Mayer
    on the show they shared in NYC.

    And to boot………that Ticks song was hilarious and
    very ingenious…..

    You need to be intellectually honest….. FC

    In my opinion, Urban doesn’t come close to Paisley in overall skills. Go to his show - not boring in the least - one of the best live shows out there in any genre right now!

    I think that gretchen wilson is a good singer, but I don’t think that “before he cheats” would have been as big of a hit if she would have sang it instead of carrie underwood.

    At least Paisley keeps it country. Urban writes with Richard Marx and churns out Richard Marx-sounding pop garbage circa 1987 and calls it “country.”

    Brad is hands down the best guitarist and performer out there today in any genre. No disrespect to keith, but Brad did outplay John Mayer for sure and would outplay Keith Urban any day.

    Wow…Im sorry but I have seen both Brad Paisley (twice) and Keith Urban and Brad Paisley is 10 times a better guitarist and a far better entertainer overall. No disrespect to Keith he is great but I mean you really can not compare the two. Paisley is an amazing guitarist who matches John Mayer (who is incredible.) Eaisly one of the greatest modern day guitarists. Sorry but you are completly wrong that Keith is in any way better the Brad. Keith Urban is just so popular cause he is always surrounded in celebrity scandal.
