Mitchell and Amy are dishing on the Grammy awards. From Lady Gaga to Smokey Robinson, they talk about showmanship and the bar of performances being raised. They give their opinions on what worked well and what were missed opportunities. Mitchell is really into Green Day’s American Idiot and can’t wait to see the new Broadway show.
