To me Hunter Hayes should have gotten the Best New Artist award. The act who got it, will they still be around in another year or so?

Also I'm sick of the more deserving acts losing the country awards to Carrie Underwood. Dierks Bentley should have gotten the Best Country Solo award and "The Cost Of Living" should have been named the best country song.

God bless you and Dierks and Hunter always!!!

Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album:

'Kisses on the Bottom' — Paul McCartney


Oh yeah..............................

[UMFaninMD]

Glad for Goyte's wins. I've listened to several of his songs and they're amazing.

I think this year's wins was a definite turn-around regarding pop music and that people will ultimately go back to substance over style (although I do enjoy electronic dance pop). Country awards however, seems to be in a rut, although I do like Little Big Town.

I quickly glanced at the Best Classical Instrumental Solo and I first thought it read Kim Kardashian!!! I was like WHAT????

[HuntingtonM15]

Congrats to Carrie Underwood

I did a double-take too as I was putting the list together.

I was hoping Alan Jackson's "So You Don't Have to Love Me Anymore" would win country song. I do like Blown Away though.

[TheCars1986]

While I think this years winners show a step in the right direction, I don't see how giving an award to a song with the title, "N***as in Paris" makes sense.

[MrCleveland]

Too bad I missed the Grammys this year. Sooooo much good talent this year....

[Vahan]

The best part about this years' Grammys (aside from Paul McCartney winning Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album), was the fact that Chris Brown didn't win, like he did last year.

There were even reports about how Adele confronted Brown after the show, as well as one where Katy Perry reportedly isn't speaking to Rihanna again, because of hear being with Brown. Brown even refused to applaud for Frank Ocean.
