I usually don't watch, but being a huge Franz fan I had to. U2 did not deserve the award they got, IMHO. I wanted Franz to win, thought Green Day would probably win, but I mean would that song have even been nominated if U2 didn't do that ad with iPod? Sorry, just because a song gets imbedded into society because it was shoved down our throat in commericals doesn't mean that the song is actually any good.
I'd like to add the "All-star" rendering of the awesome Beatles song "Across the Universe" to the UGLY section there. That's a wonderful song, and has been covered in an awesome way before (The Rufus Wainwright version of it is beautiful) but that SUCKED. It was horrible, every one of those people up there singing it was trying to be the one to sing it the best and it didn't flow or mesh right because of it. Not to mention that they changed the lyrics to fit the Tsunami aid thing, which just pisses me off. Then, they were trying to shove it down our throats that we should go out an buy the damn song. I know it's for a good cause, I just wish they had a song that was worth going out and purchasing. Just donate the a organization and spare your ears.
