  • U2 WINS ALBUM OF THE YEAR, TAKES FIVE GRAMMYS

    U2 surprised many experts and had a strong showing at the 48th Annual Grammy Awards, held Wednesday, February 8, in Los Angeles. The band won in all five categories it was nominated in, including the prestigious Album Of The Year award over albums by Gwen Stefani, Mariah Carey and tourmate Kanye West. An almost apologetic Bono took the stage at the end of the night for Album Of The Year after hugging Paul McCartney and kissing the hand of West. He gave kudos and encouragement to his fellow nominees.

      Mariah had it hands down. I dont even wat songs U2 have made. This was Mariah time to shine. I see other ppl are agreeing with this subject. I just think ppl are just willing to bring her down. But Im glad she is the only solo artist to have the most #1 hits than any other artist. Beatles dont count cuz they r a group but I pray to God she out beats them. I luv u Mariah, may God bless you.

      the grammy’s r biased and jip mariah every single time she should have won eery grammy she’s ever been nominated for and more! U2 is amazing but mariah HAD the best album of the year,and the best song. how is it possible to hav a 19 year career span with 18 number 1 and write ur own songs and only hav 5 grammy’s! it’s BS. come on nothing 4 butterfly! she was moninated for 6 grammys for daydream and got none! and that year one sweet day was the best song and still holds it’s record of 16 weeks

      and Mariah also deserved the artist of the year. She was deserved the 3/8 grammys.
      She deserved if she got atleast 7/8. I hate the grammy.

      Wow, this is so “Horrible”. Guys have written amazing lyrics, put them on brilliant cossonant melodies and people dare to appreciate it! Truly, does it all have to be revolving around a fleeting teenage fashion altogether?

      Their music has been comforting, me for years. I am content. and Irish and a weee bit drunk but no seriously. I have been blessed with the comfort that pours.

      I think many peopl ehate U2/Bono because both are positive people who see the glass half full. The ones who hate are negative holes who have a bad attitude towards something/one tryign to be positive and make people from anywhere and any background happy.

      So I guess any famous person trying to “spend the currency of celebraty” in a good way makes them… all that you stated. You’re just another dick who looks at everything in negative light.

      U2 in fact was more talented when they weren’t involved with all those world issues between 84-94 that was their prime.
