  • Tiza

    chaka khan stay looking a mess and i love it! i thought jill scott lost all that weight? oh no? it was just in the movie? oh, even in the movie she really didn’t lose that much weight? oh, got it.

  • trina

    i think kanye shouldnt be given a platform to speak at all. anywhere

  • Tiza

    another thing .. while obama clearly deserved to win among the nominated, i am saulty they didn’t nominate Ghostface killah/pretty tony for his audio book – now that is some genious words of wisdom

  • trina

    i think kanye had every right to talk about his mom, he was givin the time to he just opted to talk about other artists in his allotted time instead of what mattered. i think his inflated ego should and will be his downfall.

  • victory is mine

    Very happy for Amy Winehouse…She deserved all she won…

  • kai

    Alicia may not be public media champ, Beyonce, but she is sure racking up on Grammys lol…She should make her mother proud.

  • Born

    Just happy for our people in general …Herbie Handcock deserved those and at 67 too. And a Grammy for Obama…What? That is just to much. There is much to be proud of this Black History Month.

  • Cage

    Oh no its Dr. Seuss on crack….. Gotta give it to him for not havin any shame with his creative juices…

  • Cage

    Lol @ Lady…. I can’t remember the last time I even watched the grammys… Maybe 2001….

  • IamBajan

    I glad Rihanna won herself a Grammy. I know there will be more Grammy’s for her in the future.

  • Heyzhel

    I am so happy that beyonce didn’t win any Grammy

  • http://www.yahoo.com Southern Belle 225

    Tpain looks ignant as hell..Jill is wrong for that dress. i usually like her look.

  • trina

    All rihanna did was skip around the stage. with a performance like that she had no room to laugh at britney ( and thats not saying much) Now beyonce and tina seemed like a very natural choice. their performance meshed really well. Neither tried out doing each other it just looked like they had a good time.

  • Vinandi

    @ Will Smiff

    Wow!! no love lost between u and Bajan huh?? LOL

  • IamBajan

    Rihanna has such a beautiful voice and when she sang umbrella and Don’t stop the Music with the Time she brought the house down. Best performance of the night.

  • http://! Trini Chica in BK

    Rihanna looks splendid as usual…Bey is fading now…Oh well!

  • bajan

    @willsmurf,

    RIHANNA was not upstage last nite. AMY WINEHOUSE UPSTAGED BEYONCE’S 10 YEAR CAREER. CAUSE IRREPLACEABLE was beyonce’s biggest and most successful hit to date but amy winehouse a drug addict upstage beyonce. and amy’s performance was the most anticipated performance of the night, not tina wid beyonce.

    TITLE: DRUG ADDICT UPSTAGES BEYONCE.

    but bey still got 10 grammy and alicia keys 11, rihanna is 19 and she has ONE.

  • lala

    the only beautiful lady up there is my girl alicia… she is absolutely gorgeous! natural beauty!

  • Will Smif

    If Amy Winehouse upstaged Beyonce’s whole career, doesn’t that mean that she automatically makes Rhinanna’s half-assed performance look that much worse? You’re not trying to say that Amy Winehouse beats Beyonce, but somehow Rhenanner is magically better than Amy, are you?

  • Born

    @PaigeyWaigey so true!!! And why mention other artists? Take your award, thank God and scram. Oh, the arrogance….so boring and infuriating at the same time. Just be thankful, damn…have some humility. YOU ARE NOT THAT IMPORTANT!

  • Born

    And one more thing I think Alicia Keys has a wonderful voice and beautiful style, but come on with the over kill already. I have to give it up for Jill and Fantasia’s voice is wonderful. And Amy, way to come back, Britney needs to take some notes…On the come back that is, never the voice, that won’t happen.

  • Fellow Houstonian

    Jill Scott I was afraid this would happen! Commercializing at is finest!!!! Alicia Keys has fallen that catagory too. Beyonce start that way! Rihanna started in it but has come out of it, I like that about her! …………………dah well Hollyweird!!

  • awake

    Now while I LOVE Jill’s voice and her style, WTF happened last night? She looks a hot mess. Sorry Jill…

    Chaka looks how she always does and I’m not really feeling Alicia’s performance outfit/look – it did nothing for her shape.

    I like Amy and I’m glad she won the awards she did last night. She put the H in humility when they announced she won Song of the Year – I hope she completes the healing process and finishes getting herself together.

  • http://www.ronpaul2008.com Heather — THE GREAT!

    Again can I say that I love Amy? “This for my husband BLAKE, who is incarsarated”

  • http://www.yahoo.com Southern Belle 225

    @prettymiss…i hope she gets better. i don’t know if that will effect her music. her first album (frank) i think she may have done while she was sober and it was off the chain. i think this girl is just good regardless. but you are right about mary j. girl, she could do NO WRONG do you hear me. then, when she got all clean and sober, her music suffered to me. but i’m not mad at her for being happy and clean. i miss her good music though.

    t-pain does look like he has a stanky mouth! hell, he looks like his whole body stinks!

  • G-Woman

    Why is it sad that Beyonce didn’t win? She won last year. The album is old. She should have never been nominated in the first place. She don’t have to win and be apart of everything.

  • VTORIRI

    @ Bajan you never stop, they gave her an award for Rap/Song come on now you know that was a pacifier put in her mouth.

    And yes, Ms. Amy did her thang, and yes you are right, Amy did’nt, Alicia did.

    Alicia came out yesterday, and did what? not 1 but 2…

  • beyonce_alicia08

    ummmmmmmmm this to the person that said akeys wasn’t playing the piano yes she was until john mayer came out and started to do the thing with the gutiar(spelling) anyways i def don’t think she was selling out but she did have those door-knockers on which shouldn’t have happen. bee performance was decent i thought they was going to tear it upppppppppppp and set the bar but they didn’t it was cool tho alll together.

  • VTORIRI

    As far as Beyonce goes, why they put her in it anyway we will never know but that’s the Grammys.

    Irreplaceable still beat out Umbrella for sales, so who cares, Rap/song now that’s still funny……………

  • Naysia

    Bajan you make Rihanna look worse and worse everyday. Rihanna is a laughing stock because after 3 whole albums she’s only won 1 grammy out of how many nominations? Yeah 6 and only won 1 and it was because of Jay-Z being on the song so that proves she can’t win a grammy by herself. She can’t even be compared to Beyonce anymore because she did not win 5 grammy’s in one night like Bey did on her first solo album. Also Beyonce won her grammy last year and the fact that she still getting nominated for an album that’s 2 years old is amazing. And how did Amy upstage Beyonce’s career? when Amy sells 130 million records then she can compare to her. And people are saying that Beyonce and Tina were the performance of the night and not one is talking about Rihanna’s performance and the only one who got upstaged was Rihanna because she had 6 nominations and Amy beat her in all of them. LMAO So GTFOH you’re only embarassing fivehead more and more.

    Congrats to Alicia her and Beyonce are killing these other chicks they run the game!

  • VTORIRI

    @ Naysia, Bajan is going to learn and I hope it’s soon.

    Bajan is one of those stans that should observe only….stop posting……

  • Frog-a-licious

    I’m glad Jill Scott won.

  • dontaskme4shyt

    I truly hope T-Pain did not win a grammy. It’s a sad day in music if an artist like that wins a grammy.

    in the words of homer simpson…”doh”

  • Momo

    I’m still trying to figure out the difference between ALBUM of the year, and RECORD of the year.

    Kanye is cool, but Graduation is my least favorite of his 3 albums. Great performance, though.

  • amber

    album of the year is the actually CD compilation, record is a song of the CD. Good Girl Gone Bad = album w/ “Umbrella”= record

  • Bohwe

    Amy Whinehouse is such a talented singer,Her performance was great. I love the fact that she said, “this is for my bloke, my bloke, that’s incarcerated”, that was funny, and ghetto, the way she said it. The girl is a powerhouse. I respect her, and I pray that she comes out of her pain and drug abuse with flying colors. I was upset that Natalie Cole, had to make the comment that Amy didn’t deserve the awards, until she got herself clean, because kids look up to artists. Ok, where was this concern when Whitney was receiving awards, and going through her issues. People were celebrating Amy’s talent, not her personal life. And who knows, she winning these awards, can actually give her something positive to embraced, and try to focus on her career. People should never judge, because as my mom would say, you could be up one day, and down the next. And if she’s really concerned about Amy, meet with the girl one on one, don’t try to front her in public.

    Rhianna looked fabolous and the girl has her own style and it’s fits her.

    Beattles are awesome, glad they were honored.

    Prince is just as fierce as ever!

  • http://www.yahoo.com Southern Belle 225

    @momo

    song of the year= for the artist (performer)

    record of the year= for the writer of the song

    album of the year= for the entire album or cd

  • Black Sistas got it go n on!

    Where is beyoncee I know she had a baby girl hissie fit she didn’t win nothing! I think did she I didn’t se it! but from the looks of this list she didn’t!

    Even J hudson won something we was just watching dreamgirls today at work for black history month!

  • bree

    i just want to say that with all the performances the grammy had, i was still expecting more..um did fergie win her grammy? bcuz her album is still on the charts 2 yrs l8r

  • http://jamesthornskatyisd.org cogic man

    What happen to best GOSPEL???????????

  • Chummy

    Amy Winehouse had the best performance of the night. Some would say Herbie Hancock and the other pianist, but I think Amy Winehouse’s was much better. Honestly, Tina’s show was hot, the solo part. Beyonce’s return to the stage is the point from which hilarity ensued. Really.

  • PrettyMissSunshine

    :-(

  • 99 problems but a ……

    I really wished that Jill couldve performed this year..and why do you folk insist on comparing everyone to beyonce? Im convinced that Dateline should lauch some type of expose/investigation into the sad sad lives of internet bloggers ..seriously folks this type of obsession is highly abnormal! beys album came out like 2 years ago..still being nominated for anyting after such an old release is nothing to sniff about! and now you fools are gonna do Amy Winehouse Vs Bey? are u seriuos? what do they have to do with each other? Ima just say a prayer , a slient prayer for all of you!

  • Lovely Brown

    These people winning is a good thing. So, I won’t crap on their achievements.

    But, as for their looks, um, a lot of these people needed to go back home and try again.

    * Jill— She’s so beautiful, but I don’t think that the material of the dress was right for her figure.

    * AK— Another beautiful woman, but from the neck up, she’s got major problems. That wig looks like a rat played in it, and the earrings do not compliment the outfit.

    And it really hurts to me say it, but, she, actually, looks cheap.

    * T-Pain— I never had any hopes for him, anyway.

    * Chaka’s just being Chaka; so, no comment. :-(

  • Lovely Brown

    Actually,

    * Song of the Year is for the songwriter

    * Record of the Year is for the producer

    * Album of the Year is for every person that worked on the album (i.e. the producers, writers, engineers, artist and mixers)

    * Best Vocal Performance is for the artist

  • Jay-Z #1 fan

    Jay-Z and Rihanna’s acceptance speech was so cute. She was really happy and you could tell Jay was happy for her.
