This years Grammy Awards was without any surprises, the artist that were expected to win won, but not all of it was deserved.
Record of the Year
Winner: Kings of Leon – Use Somebody
In my opinion Kings of Leon did not deserve to win this award. Even though the song that made them big over in the US was a well crafted rock song that appealed to pop audiences. But the song that should’ve won is Beyoncés Halo, even though it’s not a personal favorite of mine i can’t turn a blind eye on the fact that it has had major crossover success all over the world and that it is still going strong today.
Album of the Year
Winner: Taylor Swift – Fearless
Taylor Swift winning this was hardly a shocker, and I would have to say that I think that it is well deserved.
Song of the Year
Winner: Beyoncé – Single Ladis (Put A Ring On It)
I have to say that Single Ladies is very overrated. The song of the year was definitely Poker Face, a song that solidified Lady Gaga as the up and coming star that she was and that received world-wide praise.
Best New Artist
Winner: Zac Brown Band
I did enjoy Zac Brown Band’s debut album and their country anthem Chicken Fried but I think that this award should have gone to Lady Gaga, but in the absence of her nomination it should have gone to MGMT. MGMT managed to achieve mainstream success with a sound that was both unique and distinctive.
Best Female Vocal Performance
Winner: Beyoncé – Halo
Well deserved. Nothing more to it.
Best pop vocal album
Winner: Black Eyed Peas – The E.N.D.
Did anyone actually like this album? I mean sure it has had some amazing singles but the album itself is absolutely dreadful. P!nk should’ve won with her hit album Funhouse.
Best Electronic/Dance AlbumWinner: Lady Gaga – The Fame
Very well deserved.
Best Rock Song
Winner: Kings of Leon – Use Somebody
I would’ve like to have seen the song Sex On Fire by the same band win, but in it’s absence Use Somebody deserved to win.
Best Rock AlbumWinner: Green Day – 21st Century Breakdown
It was a pretty good album all in all but I believe the award should have gone to Bruce Springsteen’s working on a dream rather than this album, or maybe Kings Of Leons Only By The Night.
Best Rap Album
Winner: Eminem – Relapse
Now this is just ridic. Eminems comeback album was far from being a masterpiece. I believe that Jay-Z should have won this award with his album The Blueprint III.
- For the love of pop
