We didn’t expect much love from the Grammys this year in the R&B world. As we watched our category getting cut down like lumberjacks in the rainforest. Even the 4 little categories we have remaining were mostly kept off live coverage, aside from the big ‘R&B Album of The Year’ award. While, some great, “real” R&B songs were nominated this year, not everyone was happy with the winners (as expected), and there were some surprises. Follow the jump to see who won below.
