2007 GRAMMY AWARDS NOMINEES AND WINNERS

How many of you saw the Grammy Awards? I didn't. I promised myself I'd wake up and watch it but...I did wake up, but that was after they had finished it. Poor me. Anybody who saw it live should tell me something about it they liked or didn't like. I'll try to get as much information about the Award and load it up for you guys to see. Meanwhile here are the nominees and winners of the 2007 Grammy Awards. Some of them I agree with, some I dont. I'll tell you which ones I'm in support of...or not!

Which ones do you guys agree with and don't agree with? I love James Blunt and I'm so sad he didn't even win one award. I've been hearing alot about American Idol winner Carrie Underwood but to win over James Blunt?...lai lai! Mary J deserves the awards she got and much more. Justin and T.I's My love to me was the best collaboration of last year. They really deserved it. My favourite of all was John Legend winning an award for Heaven. That song is a masterpiece. I only wish Ne-yo hadn't been nominated in his category, I would have wanted him to win also. Jamie Foxx deserved the nomination he got. I'm sure that was good enough for him. I really haven't heard any song from the Dixie Chicks. I'm not particularly a fan. Gnarls Barkeley's crazy was a beautiful song and deserved an award. Beyonce, no award! well she's gotten so many before so it doesn't matter...but what about TO THE LEFT, TO THE LEFT...oh sorry, I mean IRREPLACEABLE. Why wasn't it nominated? Do you guys agree that Ludacris had the Best Rap Album of last year? Send me your thoughts.
