JumpinJack AJ Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I will say that in the past year, even tho' the music industry is a joke, I've enjoyed a lot of award shows more than I expected to. The Grammys there year were the exception. I thought they were very boring. I felt that a few good songs were over looked and that most of the songs that were going against each other were just not that good. Lady Anttabellum (sp?) had that big hit and why I don't think it was as bad as most country songs, it didn't deserve to win as many times as it did. I'm not a fan of rock music but I thought all of nominees for the rock categories were awful. I listed a few that I wanted to win. I'm glad Eminem won the awards that he did. He did finally put a good album for the 1st time in a decade. I wanted to see Katy Perry, Bruno Mars, and B.O.B. win more. Record of the Year * “Nothin’ on You” – B.o.B (feat. Bruno Mars) Song of the Year * “Love the Way You Lie” – Eminem (feat. Rihanna) Best Rap Solo Performance * “Not Afraid” – Eminem [Winner] Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group Best Rap/Sung Collaboration * “Wake Up! Everybody” – John Legend, The Roots, Melanie Fiona & Common Best Rap Song * “Empire State Of Mind” – Jay-Z (feat. Alicia Keys) [Winner] * “Not Afraid” – Eminem * “Nothin’ on You” – B.o.B (feat. Bruno Mars) Best Rap Album * Recovery – Eminem [Winner] * How I Got Over – The Roots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VIsqo Posted February 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 Bruno Mars is wack. And I still cant believe Runaway was not in this year's awards.. And how about Empire winning rap song of the year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpinJack AJ Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 U must be on dog food. How can Bruno Mars be wack? Bruno Mars is one of the best songwriters that R-N-B has seen in years!! His range of music styles is broad, this voice and stage presence is excellent, and plays a lot of his own instruments. I think his sound could be a little more solid, but as far as I'm concerned, he's one of the most refreshing things 2 happen to R-N-B in a long time.

Turntable Posted February 16, 2011 Report Share Posted February 16, 2011 I agree with that. He sometimes is a little too much pop for me, but I'd take it over the dance orientated sound anyday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
