Adele was the undisputed champ of the Grammy’s, taking home all six awards she was nominated for. Other big winners of the night were Foo Fighters, who nabbed four gongs and Kanye West, who also won four – but failed to turn up. Chris Brown was the comeback kid, For the past couple of years Breezy has being pretty much banned from the ceremony after his 2009 bust with then-girlfriend Rihanna, but not only did Breezy perform, he also took home a award best R&B album.

Amazing how simple it can be to communicate with people and have them understand a certain topic, you made my day.
I do not drop many responses, but i did some searching and wound up here Grammy’s 2012 – Full Winners List! | Vanlaker's Blog. And I do have a few questions for you if it’s allright. Could it be just me or does it look like a few of these comments come across like coming from brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are posting on other online social sites, I would like to follow everything new you have to post. Could you list of every one of all your shared sites like your Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
