The biggest upset of the night undeniably Jazz star Herbie Hancock taking home the coveted Album of The Year award – a category both Kanye and Amy were nominated in. I’m also kinda puzzled as to how Rihanna’s ‘Umbrella’ pick up more than it did. Nothing for Beyonce’s ‘Irreplacable’ either. I guess, a song being a monster hit doesn’t necessarily equate into a Grammy – and rightfully so.

What do you think of the winners list?

    The Grammy’s have always been kind of an underdog awards shoe or something like that. The people who win them typically deserve them, but most nominees are kinda random to me. Lupe Fiasco wins for Daydreamin?! Did that not get released in 2006? lol Better late than never, I guess.

    Shut up, Sam. Your such a stupid hater… rightfully so? Umbrella was not just a hit but it’s an amazing song and you know it. Your just biased and only stick up for people that want to interview your cheap imitation blog. I love Kelly and she’s too high to interview you.

    I bet if Rihanna wanted to interview you, you’d stop being such a hating little b****.

    So shutup you English q****.

    And anyone jumping to his defence F*** OFF… I dont give a s***.
