The Results Are In: You Don't Take Grammy Seriously

Much like India Arie, you don't really trust the Grammys. When we asked why the Grammy telecast's ratings took a dip, most of our readers voted that they can't take the ceremony seriously. That could mean a number of things,...

So Why Did India Arie Boycott Grammy?

When India Arie was presenting the award for Outstanding Drama at the 39th NAACP Image Awards, she pointedly said that she boycotted the Grammys with no supplementing details. As it turns out, she stayed home because she "feels the awards...

Aretha Franklin Commits A Diva Don't

Aretha. Aretha. Aretha. This first rule in the Diva Handbook is to never let the people see you in the same thing twice. But Aretha Franklin clearly said bump all that when she decided to wear this dress on stage...

Lupe and Jill are Grammy Winners, but You'd Never Know It

As expected, many of the "urban" (read: black) awards weren't televised on last night's Grammy ceremony, purportedly to focus on performances in honor of Grammy's 50th anniversary. Yeah ok. We probably could've done without Rihanna spoiling The Time's "Jungle Love"...

Stay Classy, Nas!

Not sure if anyone out there knows this, but, the Grammys were last night! A pretty underwhelming event propping up everyone we got sick of last year, minus one or two highlights. Brief op-eds forthcoming. But before we get into...
