Ok, but if we were to look at those things, Alicia or Mary should have won the award last year... but they didn't. And, I must say, this "thing" with Ashanti is of NO comparison to the Oscars and the success Denzel and Halle has had.
Sorry, I disagree...It goes back to the theory that people are OWED something..and thats not what award shows are about....unfortunately...I saw Training Day and that was NOT Denzels best work, but he was owed the Oscar....and it received the backlash it did....many felt Halle won it because they felt blacks were owed the Oscar...

You dont give Gold medals in the Olympics to the man who has run the fastest all year, whos had the longest career, who carries himself like a true athlete, who gives most to charity...its for the person who runs the fastest. If they run ONE race their entire life, and its the fastest at the Olympics, they win....

Ashanti ran the fastest...
