What are people thinking?<\/p>\n<p>How on earth did The Suburbs beat out mega star Eminem for Album of the Year? His &#8220;Recovery&#8221; was the year&#8217;s best selling album. I cannot put in my brain how Slim Shady lost to The Suburbs. Something is very wrong there.<\/p>\n<p>Also nothing against my African American sista Esperanza Spalding BUT how on earth did she win Best New Artist? What!! I had never even heard of her. She won the award beating Drake and a young talented young fella who has taken the industry by storm and even has a movie coming out, Justin Bieber. What!! How can that happen?<\/p>\n<p>Shout out to the legendary Mavis Staples for finally winning a Grammy after decades in the industry. I was so happy to see her win. Also another legend Sir Paul McCartney won his first Grammy in 31 years for Best Solo Rock Performance for &#8220;Helter Skelter&#8221;. A song his former group, you heard of them&#8230;The Beatles first recorded in 1968.<\/p>\n<p>And if you don&#8217;t know, Lady GaGa arrived to go down the red carpet in a big giant egg!! I am not lying folks she did!!\u00a0You have to give it to GaGa. She is a for real entertainer with her own style. Unlike many many artists.<\/p>\n<p>But I just cannot get over The Surburbs and Esperanza Spalding winning awards. Unreal folks.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Gordon Curvey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ARTICLE FROM cnn.com (Full story click here) As a person who is in the music industry for more than twenty years I am shocked at what happened at the Grammy Awards I watched on CBS.
