Ray, Alicia, Usher and Kanye
Top 47th GRAMMY Winners
Norah Jones and U2 also won three GRAMMYs.
Maroon 5 picked up the award for Best New Artist, a fitting accolade before they head off for an eight-week tour of the States.
Alongside U2, other British Artists to triumph came in the shape of Rod Stewart (for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album), Basement Jaxx for Best Electronic Dance Album, and Led Zeppelin picked up a Lifetime Achievement Award. Joss Stone, Jamie Cullum and Franz Ferdinand were nominated but failed to score this time round.
All types of music are represented in the Grammys, from Prince to President Clinton and this year saw the introduction of a Hawaiian Music Category. However, this year's awards had a decidedly urban flava with the majority of big wins going to RnB and soul artists. Rap was only first recognized in the Grammys in 1989, but these days Rap features in 13 categories.
But The Grammys are all about the SHOW and it was the performances that made this one such a winner, with crossovers and collaborations shaking the Staples Centre.

simon f baker: ilikemusic because... you can transcend the confines of the material world with it, it's probably better than shagging in fact. There is virtually nothing more satisfying than when a load of chords and words suddenly come together into a song ; suddenly everything in life seems to fit and make sense once more.
