I watched the Grammys but switched between it and Family Guy then Bob's Burgers, so I missed the moments when Beck won the Album of the Year award for Morning Phase (which also got Best Rock Album). Sam Smith won Song and Record of the Year for "Stay With Me." He was also named Best New Artist and won Best Pop Vocal Album for In the Lonely Hour. Well-deserved, I say. What was undeserved was Beyoncé's Best R&B Performance award for "Drunk in Love." Jennifer Hudson's "It's Your World" (which should have won) and Ledisi's "Like This" were much worthier.
These were the Best R&B Performance nominees:
Drunk In Love
Beyoncé Featuring Jay Z
Track from: Beyoncé
Label: Columbia Records
New Flame
Chris Brown Featuring Usher & Rick Ross
Track from: X
Label: RCA Records
It's Your World
Jennifer Hudson Featuring R. Kelly
Track from: JHUD
Label: RCA Records
Like This
Ledisi
Track from: The Truth
Label: Verve
Good Kisser
Usher
Label: RCA Records
More later.

As you know, I just hated Drunk in Love!
I'm not the target demographic, of course.
I found "Drunk in Love" self-indulgent and far from Beyonce's best song. You might like Ledisi's song or Jennifer Hudson's one better.
