I so DO NOT believe Beyonce deserved album of the year! Her album Beyonce was not a great album to me. That album was by far her worst album musically. The only thing I can really praise about that album was the way she dropped it. It was a phenomenal marketing ploy. Releasing videos to every single on her album at the sametime was a way to cover up the actual mUsic. Ppl r so caught up on how she dropped it they are forgetting about the actual music. At the end of the day the Grammys made the best choice even though it may not have been a popular decision... what mattered most was the music. I have never heard of Beck either but why r u ppl bashing him when u probably havent even heard his album. I am glad the Grammys are recognizing artists who are not considered popular artists... I just wish they would include more black artists in those categories.
