I didn't care for it much either and I really liked her previous albums.

Truth is the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences were pissed at Beyoncé because she surprised the entire music industry by releasing her latest self-titled album only on iTunes first with no warning, no other promotion, no launch parties, no advance radio play, none of the traditional pre-sale retail hype -- she turned the industry upside down in a sense and showed how a true star can break the industry glass ceiling and they didn't like it. Period. Beck didn't deserve that award.

It's amusing that you think your opinion is definitive. But it doesn't matter. The people with the most votes win the Grammy. B didn't win. Beck did. That's pretty much it. K shouldnt be robbing young artists their time to shine.

Vocally I think on a lot of songs she pushes to a really "unclear" tone, that sounds cool and gruff and emotes a feeling for the song but isn't all that nice for the ear. I also like that she made a more concepty album, a little more persona driven, etc. But it also made her feel a little bit like a caricature, not really a person on a lot of the songs.

Bingo. You nailed it for me. It felt like Beyonce as Jay-Z's protege, and not entirely authentic to who she is. I don't know. Maybe it will grow on me and hit me as amazing one day, but I'm just not feeling it.

Well, if anything, we should be embarrassed for Kim. It's obvious her husband is carrying a major torch for Beyonce. He's her biggest fan.

When Kanye was doing his thing with Paul and Rihanna, Kim appeared to be thinking, "That narrow bitch better not get too close, or I am going to F* up her Sh*.!"

How about new? How about anyone else who isn't K? Any winner deserves to stand up and accept his/her award.

Beck is an artist. Beyoncé is an entertainer. There is a big difference. Beyoncés art form is entertaining. Becks art is music. So musical artistry won out last night. Comparing someone who writes his own music and can actually play instruments and someone who does nothing but perform music and dance created by others is like apples and oranges.

Kanye sounds ignorant and looks ignorant too. His wife's mouth resembles a vagina.

I feel the same way about Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert (with apologies to Beyoncé for the comparison). But the country grammys disagree.

One of my relatives is famous and knows him and knows others who know him well and she says he's bipolar. That would explain the grandiose impulses and wild rants.
