GRAMMYS Kanye West storms Grammy stage over Beck's surprise album of the year win
Rapper Kanye West reprised one of his most infamous stunts at Sunday night's Grammy awards, unexpectedly taking the Staples Center stage as Beck was accepting the album of the year award. The singer-songwriter's win was the unquestioned shock of the night, as his "Morning Phase" album beat out both the night's top winner, Sam Smith, and the category's expected winner, Beyoncé. Rapper Kanye West reprised one of his most infamous stunts at Sunday night's Grammy awards, unexpectedly taking the Staples Center stage as Beck was accepting the album of the year award. The singer-songwriter's win was the unquestioned shock of the night, as his "Morning Phase" album beat out both the night's top winner, Sam Smith, and the category's expected winner, Beyoncé. Beck seemed as surprised as the rest of the audience when he won the award and appeared to be looking around for help. That's when West popped up on stage and moved toward Beck as if he was about to take the trophy. Instead, West turned away and quickly jumped down, but not before getting guffaws from Beyoncé and her husband, Jay z However, West wasn't laughing after the show, ranting that Beyoncé should have taken the gong for her self-titled album. Appearing on the E! network's aftershow, West said, "I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain't gonna play with them no more. And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should've given his award to Beyoncé. "Because when you keep on diminishing art and not respecting the craft and smacking people in their face after they deliver monumental feats of music, you're disrespectful to inspiration," West continued. "And we as musicians have to inspire people who go to work every day, and they listen to that Beyoncé album and they feel like it takes them to another place." http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...se-grammy-win/ http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment...se-grammy-win/ |

It's about the final product. The songs. It doesn't matter if it took 40 "Producers" or one. It doesn't matter if it took 100 musicians or one. All that matters is the song. Period, end of story, bottom line. And for the record, Beyonce's sold more 5,000,000 units to Beck's 300k. The public has obviously connected with her music. |

The reason Beck has a team is because that shit is WORK. Work that he now does not have to do as much of because he is rich and can pay people to it. Work that Beyonce' NEVER had to do because she was/is just a performer. Beck got rich because he is a musical genius who created some great music from scratch. Beyonce got rich because because she had a perfect ass and was the hottest and most talented of destiny's child...a group of performers. |

Who cares?
And producing a Beyonce album isn't work? Quote:
Artists are given funding to record, mix and master their records. That's the whole point of signing a record deal. Funding. Access to the best engineers and producers in the world. Quote:
"Just" performers. Quote:
You have a lot of misconceptions. |

That doesn't make them "better" than someone that can deliver a song like Beyonce'. That's just silly. |

It's not the fact that Beck's music was created from scratch that it connected with people, no. It's the fact that He Created It AND it connected with people, that make him the better musician. Beyonce' didn't create a damn thing in Destiny's Child. She looked good, and sang good. You really going to argue otherwise? |

You could probably go down to any Guitar Center and find someone better than Beyonce...

Being a multi-instrumentalist is proof of nothing. I don't you understand anything about music or the music business. |

And for the record, I've spoken to several people, including major Artist management and NARAS members about the award show.
The general feeling is that Beck's Grammy win is akin to Martin Scorcese's Oscar win for The Departed, an overall career achievement award that was long overdue. Many people I've spoken to think it's far from his best work. |

But this statement pretty much says you agree with the argument that I was making. Never said or insinuated that |
