7 p.m.: The 54th Annual Grammy Awards is getting off to an old-school star, with Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band and a symphony orchestra performing The Boss’ new anthem “We Take Care of Our Own.” The performance has everyone in the star-studded crowd on their feet.

I’m admittedly biased when it comes to my assessment of Oklahoma country music star Blake Shelton, whom I really like, and the scarily addictive reality TV show “The Voice” on which he serves as a celebrity coach.

Setting aside my biases – as much as possible – I still think the “Vocal Kombat” commercial for “The Voice” that ran during the Super Bowl was one of my favorite ads of Sunday night.

It features Shelton and his fellow “The Voice” coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine duking …
