It would have been very nice to see the look she had on her face when she won. She seemed very disappointed last year when she didn't win.

That's really good that India got the props this time out...But I still think Jill Scott was who got the shaft. 4 both her cds...that Live cd went unnoticed as well.

I really don't get the "too black" connection here. I would understand that if it was referred 2 Marvin Gaye but Jill Scott? I mean L-Boogie is more solid than Jilly when it comes 2 (racial issue) and not to sound stereotypical but Miss Hill is a "dark skinned sistah" and when she won them 5 grammies the whole world went up and down(Esp when Mariah, Whitney, Madonna and Janet were supposed 2 lead the grammies BUT turned out to be slapped my Lauryn).

What about Mary J Blige? I think she don't get her props from the grammies even tho I think she deserve them more than any Jilly, Alicia, India, Norah or some tired ass neo-soul fool. Plus, she don't dig into "issues" that piss of white folks like many sistas do and I think the reason why she don't get props from the grammies is she's too "Ghetto" and too "Hip-Hop" and hip-hop ain't shit according 2 the grammies.

Boy, this policy bullshit gets on a sistah's nerve alright.
