Congratulations to the
Congratulations to the winners in the Grammy. The Grammy winners 2010 list had some surprises – if I had bet on them, I probably would have lost my shirt and would be running for payday loans. Among the big surprises of the Grammy winners 2010 list was the number of awards Beyonce came away with. She has to be happy. Taylor Swift deserved her wins, but I'm surprised there weren't a few more for Lady Gaga, because she has been incredibly popular lately. (Heaven knows why – there have been more than one Madonna rip-off before and more will follow later.) I wonder what 2011 will look like.
