      He is so different from his dad who never gace a goot about it. Is it not ironical that his son already has four nominations. Its obvious the Grammys woke up late

    May lack of exposure not kill us in Africa since illiteracy is a disease. Many famous American stars have never won a Grammy but were nominated. Did they hang a transformer? No!
