i don't understand how a mic in the piano could make her sing flat. it's not the first time i've heard her miss her notes live.

No autotune live to fall back on

or should that read

"you wook diffwent toowday in yaw avwatar....havw you hwad a hwaircut?...."

Let's say the mic felt in the piano and made loud noises in her in-ear monitors.. I guess I would be off pitch too if I couldn't here myself..
(just a theory) ;)

Anyone think they could have done more to rescue the performance?

I saw it, she handled it pretty damn seamlessly to me. Meaning, the keyboard and some sample guitar track was way too hot. I'd say she couldn't hear herself too well and was going on vibrations to lock into tune. I've been there more than once when something is overpowering your ability to hear your vocals.
It sounded like the mix engineer took about 2 sec to flip something and it improved but I'm sure it took her a bit of time after to get back into it.

Much better to the snoopy! Its not distracting and adds a nice colour to your timeline.

Someone got fired for that one. If I remember correctly there was an article in mix mag that was taking about the Grammys brand new upgrades system a couple years ago. When you only do it once a year, maybe there's some bugs they have to work out.

Besides that, the new Adele album is a complete snoozer. I thought 21 was fantastic, 25 put me to sleep.

I don't doubt it. She puts me to sleep.
Personally I tire of her voice really fast. She sounds like one key with that punch line in everything. The song she sang on the Grammys was terribly boring. I actually turned her off there too lol. But, she's got a following and I respect her abilities.

Well said.
