The grammys happened last night as was boring as usual. A couple surprises were the tribute to Aretha Franklin, featuring Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Hudson, Martina McBride, Yolanda Adams and. Another nice moment was in the Best New Artist Category which rapper Drake and teen sensation Justin Bieber were nominated in, a little artist by the name of Esperanza Spalding, took home the coveted award, another nice surprise was Fantasia winning the Best R&B Female Award, after a year of personal turbulence, it's nice to see that she was reward for her 'talent' and not judged on her personal life. Pop Veterans were in the house on stage performing, Barbara Streisand, Mic Jaggar and Bob Dylan showing the youth how it's done.

Beautiful dancer/singer Ciara was dropped from her Jive Records label last week after the disappointing sales of her "Basic Instinct" cd release. Things are still looking up for the lovely beauty, she's in talks to join Interscope Records. Good luck Ciara!
After her own Lifetime movie, Life Is Not a Fairy Tale: The Fantasia Barrino Story, back in 2006, Fantasia is now set to play the leading role of another famous singer's life, she's going to play the late gospel legend Mahalia Jackson, and for her role Tasia has to gain 45 pounds:(
The Queen of Soul Aretha Franklin made two recent appearances this past weekend, one was at a Detroit Piston's game in Detroit with opportunist Jesse Jackson, and another was a recorded cameo in honor of her tribute at the Grammys. Get well Ree Ree, we're all praying for you.

Ciara is good to look at but her music bites, so I'm with Jive, drop her, and move on.
