39 geeky Grammy facts

Well i didn't know that.... eek

http://www.musicradar.com...cts-195159 cool

Sunday 8 February marks the 51st Grammy awards ceremony in Los Angeles California. That means a night of glitz, glamour, large amounts of back-slapping and usually a little controversy about who wins.

As with The Brits in the UK, the Grammys aren't popular with everyone.

Maynard James Keenan of Tool reckons: "I think the Grammys are nothing more than some gigantic promotional machine for the music industry. They cater to a low intellect and they feed the masses. They don't honor the arts or the artist for what he created. It's the music business celebrating itself. That's basically what it's all about."

All true, perhaps. Then again, Keenan has never won, has he?

10. Five female artists have won five Grammys on one night - Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, Beyonce and Amy Winehouse.

I can really start to see why Beyonce is hated so much....i mean what is she doing here ... this is wrong ... sad

Yeah, he had four when he was living, I think. Or at least five or six, I'm not too sure.
