Millions watched last night as the Grammy's showcased numerous artists and their successes this past year in the 57th annual Grammy awards. If you watched the show then you would know that this night totally belonged to Sam Smith who took home 4 Grammy's last night, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Album. Though Sam has proved to have an extremely successful year, he isn't the only one. Beyonce, Pharrell Williams, and Roseanne Cash all took home three awards last night as well as Beck's latest album Morning Phase which won Album of the Year.
So who remembers a couple years ago in 2009 when Kanye West ran on stage when Taylor Swift won the Best Female Video of the Year over Beyonce at the VMA's? He congratulated Taylor and told her he was happy for her and then proceeded to tell the audience that he felt that Beyonce had the best video of all time, basically saying that Taylor didn't deserve the award. Well folks, lets just say that almost happened once again last night. When Beck was announced Album of the Year for his new album Morning Phase which let me just say I have never heard of neither Beck nor Morning Phase in my life, was announced as the winner of the Grammy, Kanye rushed up to the stage once Beck began talking but immediately upon taking the stage, thought better of himself and sat down. Good for Kanye for not ruining yet another awards show.
Yet immediately after the show was over, Kanye trashed Beck in the media saying that Beyonce should have won the album of the year and Beck didn't deserve it. But complete props to Beck because right after he was trashed by Kanye, he came out in the media and agreed with Kanye saying that he absolutely thought that Beyonce was going to win and although West said those things about him, he still respected him and thought he was a total genius. Beck went on to say that he aspires to do what Kanye does because after all, how many records has that guy put out in the last 5 years?
So lets just continue down the path of talking about Beck shall we? I have never ever heard of the singer Beck or his infamous Album of the Year ever and now all of a sudden he's beating out both Beyonce and Sam Smith for a Grammy? Maybe I should take some time to go listen to this album because it better be good if it was able to beat Beyonce and Sam.
