Annie apparently heard Nina Simone's version which is still my favorite.

Mr. West has sold more records, made more money and won more Grammys (21 at last count) than anybody posting negative comments on this thread. His wife is probably better looking than your wives too.

Keep on hating if it makes you feel good.

I can count the number of CD's I purchased last year on two hands... the Annie Lennox Nostalgia CD being one of my favorites.

The media that glorify individuals like Kanye West need a reality check. Look at what happened to Brian Williams... NBC for months ran ads trying to convince the general public that Brian Williams was really a frontline news reporter instead of a poster person that sits in a New York studio reading a teleprompter. Brian Williams got so full of himself that he self destructed.

IMHO if you want to hear talent, listen to the Iris DeMent "Sing The Delta" CD, or the John Fullbright "Songs" CD.

Kanye is a narrow minded, impulsive, egotistical, but talented rapper. He is not a musician and has no conception of music beyond his genre or what one would hear on a top 40 radio station. As such, he should keep his uninformed opinions to himself as dissemination merely reveals his shortcomings as an artist and as a human being.
Even though I preferred Sea Change, I still thought that Beck deserved the award for album of the year.
