[Album] Grammy Awards 2007

The show was last night and the winners are... poorly picked.

Check them out here.

Some of the awards disgust me actually. Beyonce winning contemporary R&B album of the year? That should have gone to Ne-Yo. Luda didn't deserve his rap album of the year; that should have gone to Lupe Fiasco (or TI, but I don't like Southern Rap). The Dixie Chicks swept the major awards, which I don't really have a problem with. Carrie Underwood winning best new artist is BS though - Corinne Bailey Rae deserved that. Also, I don't understand how Imogen Heap got nominated for that category since she's been around for years...

What do you think about the selections?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

That's because
1) She's from the UK.
2) She didn't win American idol.
3) She doesn't sing "club music" - her style of R&B is more like soul music.

Really? His album sounds way too similar to his earlier works for me.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

The club comment was meant to point out that she doesn't do the kind of R&B that tends to sell well to the teen and early twenties markets. She has a much more "adult friendly" style of R&B.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
