Grammys 2009 Results!

2009 Grammys were dominated by the UK artists - and about time too! The 51st Annual Grammy's awarded Adele, Coldplay AND Estelle with awards - you know how we do! Though heavily pregnant, M.I.A rocked the stage in a polka dot designed by Henry Holland, performing hit single "Swagga Like Us" with T.I, Mr. West and Lil Wayne. The best performance of the night by far. The sheer dress designed with polka dots covering the stomach area, received critcism from bloggers, calling it "daring", "outrageous" and some went as far to call it "sheer madness". Holland told the Independent, "I was a bit worried about what the patch was going to cover with the belly involved, but she wore a little skirt with it. We are going through all the blogs and looking at all the comments people put about the dress. It's quite amusing."

Exactly WHAT was the problem with the dress??? I thought it was fine considering it's one of the biggest musical events of the year, the woman was about to pop any moment and she wants to wear an outfit that she can perform in, yet still look sexy AND feel comfortable ALL AT THE SAME TIME. G.O.S.H! You don't have to look like an unfashionable frump just because you're pregnant. Some bloggers have WAY too much time on their hands! ;-) It's a shame that the whole C.Breezy/Rhi Rhi drama has shadowed (in my opinion) the most star-studded musical event of the year. But lets not take away the fact that there were many well deserved winners on the night. See below for the full list!
