Grammy's...

There is so much to say about this years 52nd Annual Grammy awards. Overall, I was very pleased with the show.

Beyonce made history by being the first female artist ever to take home 6 Grammy's in one night. She was so emotionally charged and overwhelmed that she broke her usual code of personal silence by thanking her "Husband" and telling him she loved him. I think even Jay-Z was surprised by her unorthodox move.

Drake became the first artist ever to perform at the show and win a Grammy before actually releasing an album. Taylor Swift made history by being the youngest artist to win a Grammy for album of the year and Mr. Big... ahem, Ego, Kanye West made history by actually not showing up to an award show even though he was nominated.

I am #teamkanye all the way and actually to tell you the truth his absence was definitely felt. He was nominated in a slew of categories and actually won a Grammy for "Run This Town" where he was featured with Jay-Z & Rihanna.

He also was supposed to be apart of Drake's performance of Forever since he was featured on the track with Lil Wayne and Eminem. But his actions at the MTV music awards were unsanctioned and rude so I guess he needed to take a break and maybe the Grammy awards exec board panel made him sit down somewhere as well.

Other than Kanye being M.I.A., the night was full of action and didn't disappoint. Jamie Foxx had a party on stage during his performance of Blame it. Pink made sure she kept the crowds mouth watering for more by being drenched in water and swinging from a tight rope wearing a tight cat suit. And Lady Gaga brought out Elton John as they sang a duet while both playing the piano.

And of course at the end of the night you knew the question was bound to come up. Would Kanye's outburst from the MTV Music awards help Taylor Swift and would it hinder Beyonce in winning album of the year...

I really don't know, but I will say this, only a few Urban, (meaning rap, reggae or R&B) albums have ever won Grammy of the year. Thriller and Speakerboxx/The Love Below are the two I can think of off the top of my head. I was kind of upset about how some of the media wrap up shows down played the rap category as Jay-Z, Eminem and Drake all did pretty well winning in the category.

Numbers wise, the country music genre sells the most albums, so that should tell you how hard it is to beat out any country singer with or without Kanye's outbursts.
