Title: U2 Steal Grammys Glory Post by: Genesis on February 09, 2006, 02:52:46 AM U2 have won five prizes at the most prestigious US music awards, the Grammys, eclipsing the pre-ceremony favourites Mariah Carey and Kanye West.
The Irish band won every award they were nominated for, including song of the year and album of the year. Pop diva Carey, rap star West and R&B newcomer John Legend topped the nominations with eight each - and picked up three awards apiece. Dance duo the Chemical Brothers led the UK challenge, winning two trophies. But Coldplay, Sir Paul McCartney and Franz Ferdinand all went home empty-handed. U2 beat Sir Paul, Carey, West and Gwen Stefani to scoop the night's main award, album of the year, for How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb. It was also named best rock album, while City of Blinding Lights won best rock song. Another hit single, Sometimes You Can't Make It On Your Own, earned song of the year plus best vocal rock performance by a duo or group. U2's haul takes their Grammy total to 21 awards - including eight in the last two years alone. "If you think this is going to go to our head, it's too late," Bono told the Los Angeles ceremony on Wednesday.

The performance of Gold Digger was out of place because Kanye's performance actually had some energy, if U2 "stole" the glory, Kanye was the one who got robbed. He's been at the Grammy's two years and he's the only person who shows some life and emotion. His speech from last year was possibly the best thing I've seen at an award show like this... Bono congratulated him after, and this year it looked like he pretty much would've preferred the award go to Kanye instead. Youtube.com is the best... Here's the performance, which they even had to introduce as the "Halftime Show": http://www.youtube.com/w/KANYE-AND-NUPES-AT-GRAMMYS?v=8j3Ew5tDImA&search=Kanye%20Grammys ...and here's his "Best Rap Album" speech from 2005: http://www.youtube.com/w/Kanye-West---Grammy%27s?v=IjX5ySdSqVg&search=Kanye%20Grammys Title: Re: U2 Steal Grammys Glory Post by: McGann on February 09, 2006, 12:34:11 PM At least it is nice
