will Ray Charles passing hurt Prince in this years Grammy's? it was talked about all year how Prince will do well at the Grammy's because he's having a comeback year but now it seems all the sentiment may go to ray charles at the awards this year because of his passing...i believe it happened in the album of the year award nomination with Ray's cd getting the nod over Musicology..a few weeks ago there was a prediction on who will be nominated for album of the year and the guy got every single album right except he had Musicology as one of the selections and not the Ray Charles album

Ummm, I wouldn't terribly mind if Ray Charles' last album was awarded over musicology. But personally I think the Grammys, and pretty much all award shows, are a bunch of bullshit anyway. Musicology is probably a better album that Genius Loves Company, but neither is anywhere near either artist's best work.

Bless your heart, that is the most shallow thing I've ever read. But would it hurt so much for Ray to get a few awards over Prince (even if posthumously?)

I see where Mazerati is coming from. I think he was robbed with the album of the year catagory but my thing was why the hell was Green Day nominated for that? I've heard a few tracks off of American Idiot and I wasn't impressed so Ray wasn't the problem. In fact I kinda expected it.
