The reason why I think it's amazing is though great, Beyonce, Rihanna, and Usher are no where near as excellent as Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Minnie Riperton, & Frankie Beverly & Maze. I know the music industry has changed, but Beyonce has like 15 or 16 Grammys and Usher & Rihanna have a crazy amount of Grammys too. Rihanna can barely sing. It's like anyone can win a Grammy now. The Recording Industry gives them out like candy. It just really shows how meaningless the Grammy's are.
