Despite a standing ovation for Beatles drummer Ringo Starr after his performance of “Photograph” at The Grammys, CNN host Piers Morgan couldn’t stop himself from bashing Starr.
If this was a karaoke bar, Ringo would be bottled off by now. #GRAMMYs

Fox News correspondent — and huge Beatles fan — James Rosen came to Ringo’s defense on Twitter:
Remind me who Piers Morgan is again? “@piersmorgan: If this was a karaoke bar, Ringo would be bottled off by now. #GRAMMYs”

The CNN host continued bashing Ringo:
Rin-go. Please. #GRAMMYs

And the mudslinging continued:
.@piersmorgan Even Ringo’s worst recording will endure long beyond the Placebo Effect that was your career. Or maybe that’s too kind to you?

Even during the reunion of Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr at The Grammys, Piers Morgan couldn’t say anything positive about one of his native country’s greatest exports:
It’s not a Beatles reunion unless they perform a Beatles song. Sorry. #GRAMMYs
