Live Blogging the 51st Annual Grammy Awards

This year's Grammy Awards have come and gone and so has another live blog. We did it a little different this time around and "tweeted" the night's festivities on Twitter with the live feed appearing in this spot during...

SOUL-POLL: Lowest-Rated Grammys Ever?

According to Variety, this year's Grammy telecast averaged only 17.5 million viewers, although CBS won the night in ratings. This would be the third lowest ratings average for the ceremony, only beating out 1995 (17.3m) and 2006 (17m). Out of...

Media Watch, Soul Cynic

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...

Housewine Makes Her Way Onto The Grammys

Just when we thought that it'd be another boring Grammy Awards telecast, Amy Winehouse swoops in to save the day. Yes, despite the U.S. Embassy putting the smack down on her Visa request, you can't keep a strong crackhead...

Morning Soul: Shimmy Shimmy Cocoa Pop

The King of Rocks and Blunts, Bobby Brown, is recording a country album. Damn you, Gone Country! [SONYC]Nas' Nigger won't be coming out during Black History Month after all. Pity. [RTNY]Tank is having a pre-Grammy party in celebration of...

Morning Soul: Who Do Ya Luv?

Kevin Michael pretty much thinks American Idol is crap. I reserve the right to agree. [SOHH]WGA made nice with Grammy. Now we can go back to not live-blogging it. [THR]Charitable: John Legend's mission to combat poverty. [MTV]Gospel singer Tonex's getup...

Morning Soul: So Thankful We Made it Through

What's this child smoking? [RHAP]We're still waiting to meet the genius team responsible for Fat Joe's latest album title. [SDSU]Janet Jackson to be honored by The Gays. [BVB]WGA won't picket the Grammys but they still aren't necessarily in bed yet....

Gangsta Guilds: Grammys Targeted, Image Awards Spared

The Writers Guild of America is so gangsta. So far it looks like the Grammy Awards ceremony won't be shut down like the Golden Globes but there will be a picket. Ouch. What did Fergie ever do to you guys?...

Vikter Duplaix, Emily King and Ledisi are Up For Grammy Awards!

We were a little iffy about the American Music Award nominations (shame on you, America!), but a sampling of the Grammy noms looks like someone turned off the radio and opened their ears. But the "Best Rap Album" category looks...
