2009 Grammy Awards

Grammy Awards2009 Grammy Awards brings now Kanye West Drama, but other controversies steamed from Kanye West.  Before I say this let me remind you Beyonce won 6 awards for the evening.  When Taylor Swift’s Fearless beat Beyonce’s I Am…Sasha Fierce for album of the year, Twitter and Facebook were blowing up regarding this.  Everyone was online chatting about how Kanye West made Swift famous and she would’ve never won that award if not for him.  I’m sorry to burst people’s bubble, but Swift was famous way before Kanye made an ass of himself at the Video awards.  She just wasn’t famous to us, I don’t know what it is about Country music, I hardly know anyone (white friends included) who say that they like Country music, but that music has been burning the charts up for years.  Granted it’s taken a back seat to Hip Hop in the last several years, but I remember back in the 90′s Garth Brooks had three albums in the Billboard top 200 albums at one time.  So this is nothing new, plus Beyonce won 6 damn Grammys, just because she didn’t win album of the year people weren’t satisfied it’s a shame.  What’s even more of a shame is that Kanye West’s ignorance at the video awards is still taking shine away from artists.  But all in all the Grammy Awards were boring and they played the same music we heard all year over and over, just like all the award shows.  They should think about getting creative on these shows because they’re putting me to sleep.  One great thing about the Grammys this year, Mos Def was nominated for best rap album for his album The Estatic.

Beyonce and Swift both did good at the Grammys, so what's the problem?!?
