AND THE GRAMMYS GO TO...

Big ups to Kanye for taking home 4 Grammys to be exact. I still think he should have won Album of the Year, but Best Rap Album is still a great nod to the success and overall dynamics of the album. He also took home the golden award for Best Rap Solo Performance (for ''Stronger''), Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group (''Southside,'' with Common), and Best Rap Song (for ''Good Life''). Yeezy got 'em with his fresh "MAMA" cut and a "Hey Mama" performance to the memory of his late mother, Donda West.
On another note, Amy Winehouse surprisingly took home 5 awards, while she performed via satellite from London, and hugged her mom...
With expected victories by Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Ne-Yo, and Foo Fighters, it was a pretty good night for the music industry.
I thought Feist would hit it big with Best New Artist, but Amy Winey-house was there to claim it.
