RnB Rules Again at Grammy's 2009

Squeezing the latest news in Grammy just now and I found out that Alicia Keys has won the Female R&B Vocal Performance for her song, "Superwoman" and this is her second win in the said category. Last year, Keys brought home the winning bacon for "No One." Other nominated artists in this year's Grammy's Female R&B are Beyonce (Me, Myself and I), Keisha Cole (Heaven Sent), Jennifer Hudson (Spotlight) and Jazmine Sullivan (Need U Bad).

Shaffer Smith, a.k.a NEYO, was also one of the brightest stars of the night as he went home with two awards, the first is Male R&B Vocal Performance for Miss Independent. He bomb down my man, Usher's Here I Stand :( but that's fine, this year was made for Neyo. Usher can come back with a huge leap on his sixth album. Neyo's second win was for Best R&B Song for Miss Independent again. His third studio album, Year of the Gentlemen, was also nominated for Best Contemporary Album, just like his first and second album and unexpectedly "Because Of You" grabbed the winning spot last year but this time around, Mary J. Blige "Growing Pains" took the big spot away from YOTG.

Lil Wayne was tagged as the Best Rap Solo Performer for his headstrong song "A Milli" and also took home the Best Rap Album making T.I. fans frustrated. I expected T.I. to win but Lil Wayne's The Carter III has rough edges here and there but still good and been at the top spot in US Billboard Hot Albums for weeks. Lollipop won as the Best Rap Song too.

All in all, Rhythm and Blues still rules in this Grammy 2009 and that's way HOTTER than I expected!!!
