2009 Grammy for Best male pop vocal performance: John Mayer - Say

John Mayer wins the 2009 Grammy for Best male pop vocal performance. John won with his sappy single, Say. Pretty easy win for John. Say was in the movie “Bucket List”.

I still think John’s drunk version of Say was the best, and should have won an award:

2009 Grammy for Best New Artist: Adele

Adele wins the 2008 Grammy for Best New Artist. Grammy got one right! Thankfully Adele beats Jonas Brothers.

The other nominees were singer Duffy, the Jonas Brothers, country group Lady Antebellum, and R&B singer Jazmine Sullivan.

2009 Grammy for Best Rock Album goes to Coldplay

This is the groups second win tonight, after winning earlier for Song of the Year. Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” has been rocked with controversy this week as Joe Satriani said he was going to have his lawyer serve Coldplay during the Grammy’s. Satriani claims that Coldplay’s “Viva La Vida” was too similar to the melody of his instrumental “I Just Wanna Fly.”

The 2009 Grammy for Best Collaboration with vocals goes to Robert Plant and Alison Krauss.

Here is a video of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss performing “Rich Woman” live.

Grammy for best R&B album 2009: Jennifer Hudson

Whitney Houston presented Jennifer Hudson with the first Grammy Award of the evening, for best R&B album.

“I’d like to thank my family in heaven and those who are here today, Everybody, thank you all.”

I got choked up listening to her. She is obviously still hurting.

The Grammy for best Country Performance goes to Sugarland

Sugarland picked up the GRAMMY Award for Best Country Performance by a Duo or Group for the song “Stay”. Congratulations, Sugarland!
