A shocking 6 Grammys went to an apparently very nervous Beyoncé, as she stole the show with her single Single Ladies. According to sources her next step will indeed be world domination. The gong for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration went to her husband Mr. Beyoncé aka Jay-Z, despite going up against SNL’s ever popular team Lonely Island featuring T-Pain and their anti-land anthem I’m on A Boat. Jay-Z also scooped Best Rap Solo Performance, Best Rap Song and Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Media. But justice was served and T-Pain did manage to make it to the winners podium to collect the award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals for his duo with Jamie Foxx on Blame It.

Nobody else won on the night, oh except the Kings of Leon, The Black Eyed Peas and Lady Gaga. Kidding of course. Michael Jackson was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award which was accepted on his behalf by his 2 children Prince Michael and Paris. They told the audience they were proud to be there on behalf of their father.
