Whether you missed the ceremony altogether, or are, like me, too poor and/or Luddite-y for Tivo/DVR-type shenanigans, you could spend hours trolling online video-sharing sites. Or! You could click on this PopWatch post and peruse nearly all of the night’s performances, without the pesky interference of commercials, special honors, and, you know, trophies and stuff.
Of course, we’ve already provided EW.com readers with a real-time blog of the event, a full list of televised winners, and answers to your burning questions, as well as photo galleries for both style and performance best and worsts, but there truly is nothing like the real (pixelated) thing. So even though I’ll be offering a roundup of my own personal bests and worsts from the show in the magazine this Friday, here you get to judge almost every one of them unexpurgated for yourselves. Here’s Al and Co. first, and then then 19 more after the jump…

Why are none of these available to watch? Why are they put on this site if we can’t watch them?
Thanks much for the replay. Time dot com also has the replays. The best to me: Carrie Underwood (in top form, but a little “loud”); Jennifer; Al Green & Justin; the “4″ tops (nostalic)…and actually I liked Taylor Swift for the first time…she has that innocence about her.
Thank you SO MUCH …. especially for Radiohead!!
Radiohead + Al Green/JT = Kung Fu Jesus
Katy Perry seems cool in interviews but that performance was a straight up hot mess. From her “vocals” to her “choreography” to her “fashion” – just so not right.
Boo. The dam grammy’s took the Sugarland clip down. And that IS Zooey Deschanel introducing Alison Kraus and Robert Plant, right? There is such a resemblance between her and Katy Perry…but I’m sure KP would have been goofier.
Damm grammys, they took them out!
Loved Radiohead on Sunday, the only reason I saw the show.
Hey, you can’t even see the vids!
Seriously, they pulled the Radiohead clip? Jerks! That was the only one worth watching twice.
The Grammys suck for taking it down.
One more reason it’s clear that the Grammy’s are run by idiots…
EW, you should know by now if you (a major publication) link something popular that is not “allowed” on youtube they will take it down right away!
JPudge is so overrated. Loved lil wayne, stevie, radiohead, and estelle
Forget anything to do with actual nominations, this is truly what is making the Grammys irrelevant. Someone should let NARAS know that it’s 2009 and so it’s okay to use technology to one’s own advantage. The Grammys insist on stuffing their with performances, but won’t put clips of them on their own website or YouTube. They don’t honestly expect that everyone will be able to see it all the one time it airs on TV, so why don’t they start cultivating the actual positive they get? EW, I think you should talk NARAS and write an article about that.
Secretary of Performing Arts??? Hello? Department of Education anyone? Please!
Anyhoo, Neil Diamond was wicked!
“This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Grammys”.
I realize it’s a licensing juggernaut for the Grammys or CBS to even conceive of releasing a DVD or rebroadcast. There were so many awesome performances that it would be a shame if in terms of preserving musical history and allowing access to those who missed it or want to see it again. Hope the Grammys and CBS can reach agreement with the artists to even stream the videos but donate all proceeds from any associated advertising revenue to one of the music charities they were promoting on the broadcast.

kattrike is overrated. jennifer hudson is not.
Oh JoBros: please stop the “come on Stevie”… he’s forgotten more than you’ll ever know. There was something a little wrong about that.
Thanks for the clips EW.com.
I don’t know what heavy rock I’ve been under, but I love that Sugarland “Stay” song. It’s unbelievable! She has a voice like an angel and the lyrics are so meaningful. Honestly, I’d never heard the song before and am astounded by its beauty and melody.
Radiohead was epic. Thom Yorke’s voice should be studied in a lab somewhere-it’s crazy. That group is artistic beyond ingenuity.
I loved the “Swagga Like Us” performance, but I wanted to hear a bit more of M.I.A.’s song. She’s another one with distinct vocals. Those four guys on the same stage at the Grammy’s is the thing of legend. They’ll be remembered as the hip hop Rat Pack.
Jennifer Hudson has only been in the biz a few years, an already she has such a remarkable career. She’s an Oscar and Grammy award winner. I don’t think anyone else in her generation can boast such accolades. It’s invigorating to see that true, unmanufactured talent can still reign supreme in Hollywoo
I really like that Bo Diddley tribute!!! I could have done without the Jonas Bros. or Miley.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!! i have been searching left and right for these videos, and you don’t know how gratefull i am that you posted them up!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!
The answer we all want to know. Did M.I.A. have her baby yet? Yes, it’s a boy. Will she perform at the Oscars next week?
