SCIENTOLOGISTS CHICK COREA AND BECK TAKE HOME MULTIPLE GRAMMY AWARDS WHILE KANYE WEST TRIES TO STEAL THE SHOW February 9, 2015
MUSIC’S BIGGEST NIGHT, THE , WAS GOOD TO CHICK COREA AND BECK, WHO SURPRISED EVERYONE, INCLUDING , WITH HIS ALBUM OF THE YEAR WIN.

Sunday was a big night for musicians Beck and Chick Corea. Both are Scientologists who took home multiple Grammy Awards, with Beck winning the coveted Album of the Year.

In addition to Album of the Year, Beck also won Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical and Best Rock Album, for his 2014 release Morning Phase, beating out The Black Keys and U2.

Kanye West briefly attempted to crash Beck’s acceptance speech in objection to the Recording Academy’s decision to give the award to Beck and not Beyoncé. This was a throwback to 2009 when West interrupted Taylor Swift during her acceptance speech for Best Female Video, a category Beyoncé was also nominated in.

peaking to E! after the show, “I just know that the Grammys, if they want real artists to keep coming back, they need to stop playing with us. We ain’t gonna play with them no more. And Beck needs to respect artistry and he should’ve given his award to Beyoncé.”

Beck responded to West’s criticism: “You can’t please everybody. I still love him and think he’s genius.”

The whole stunt caused #Beck to trend on Twitter in the U.S. overnight and well into Monday afternoon.
