Brits won big in the pop categories during the 51st annual Grammy Awards pre-
telecast tonight (Feb. 8), with Coldplay's "Viva La Vida" winning for best pop
performance by a duo or group with vocals and Radiohead's "In Rainbows"
snaring best alternative music album.
In addition, Duffy's "Rockferry" scored best pop vocal album and Adele's "
Chasing Pavements" won best female pop vocal performance.
Possibly portending a win later in the night for album of the year, Robert
Plant and Alison Krauss took home two awards during the pre-telecast: best
contemporary folk/Americana album for "Raising Sand" and country collaboration
with vocals for album track "Killing the Blues."
Columbia Records head Rick Rubin won producer of the year for his work with
Metallica ("Death Magnetic"), Neil Diamond ("Home Before Dark"), Weezer ("The
Red Album") and others.
Lil Wayne won for best rap solo performance for "A Milli," and his "Lollipop"
won best rap song. "Swagga Like Us," by Jay-Z and T.I. featuring Kanye West
and Lil Wayne, won best rap performance by a duo or group. Best rap/sung
collaboration went to U.K. newcomer Estelle and Kanye West for "American Boy."
R&B legend Al Green, who had previously won Grammys in categories other than
R&B, took home awards for best R&B performance by a duo or group with vocals
and best traditional R&B vocal performance.
Elsewhere in the R&B categories, Alicia Keys scored for best female vocal
performance for "Superwoman," while Ne-Yo won for male vocal performance for "
Miss Independent." That track also won best R&B song for Ne-Yo and co-writers
