OH MY GOD! FIRST you start a thread to ask who won, you get an answer, and part of your answer was that there have been several threads already. THEN you start this thread??

I'm so very glad for Stephen and "Wicked," but the Grammy's have gone down hill big time. I mean, let's face it. It's great that "Wicked" won, but who else has a Grammy? Eminem, Britney Spears, Usher, Beyonce, Monica, Christina Aguilera, Sheryl Crow, No Doubt, Brandy, Outkast. Yes, I understand that these are different genres of music, but, hardly any of these people (in my opinion, none of them) are talented. Just my two cents, but, YAY for "Wicked"!

Britney Spears never won a Grammy

*Edit* My bad, I didn't watch it so I didn't actually know.

Wow - the musifcal with the biggest, most overblown orchestrations and arrangements won over the simpler, more tasteful ones. What a surprise.

"Wow - the musical with the biggest, most overblown orchestrations and arrangements won over the simpler, more tasteful ones. What a surprise."

This should be known as "the Rod Stewart rule".
His similarly cheeseball platinum-seller beat out Barbara Cook.

I thinkj Boy From Oz and Ave Q had MUCH more memorable and better music (saw all 3).

Ya know...say what you want about Britney Spears... but "Toxic" is a pretty great song. It manages to be a dance song, yet still have a discernible melody, and it doesn't ape or sound quite like anything else.
