B was not deserving of those awards. She is no Humanitorian or nothing close. She's a slut.

I was disappointed in most of the performances and was disappointed in artist winning awards they shouldn't have gotten!

We all feel that way when the person we wanted to win didn't. I'm rooting for Dawn Richards and Dirty Money

I agree with you 100% Dimepiece on the fact that artists winnning awards that, "they don't deserve." I thought Beyounce could have done better and her winning all those awards she did not deserve.

The Grammy's are now a "popularity" contest it's definitely not about "quality" music anymore. It was nice to see Maxwell and India Arie pick up awards. I didn't watch the show, like everything else it's just not the same anymore.

Stop hating and appreciate all the work the performers put into last nights Grammys. I can't imagine how many hours they prepared for it. Pink really was over the top with her performance! I really enjoyed it and can't begin to make any decisions on who should have received the awards. I did not vote, therefore, I have no complaints!

I agree with you BJ. Stop the hate people. If you can put on a show or make an album, do it. Stop hating on those that do.
