Dixie Chicks Sweep Grammys 

The Dixie Chicks took home an impressive five Grammy Awards last night after surviving a few years of death threats and radio boycotts. The Red Hot Chili Peppers scored four wins and Rick Rubin, who produced both the Chicks and the Chili Peppers had a big night as well. Gnarls Barkley took home two awards, although I thought they deserved at least one more.

Carrie Underwood and Mary J. Blige also had 3 wins and Christina Aguilera took home a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. A shocked John Mayer also won for Best Pop Vocal Album for Continuum.

A star may have been born among the big names present last night. Robyn Troup won the "My Grammy Moment" contest and got to perform a duet with Justin Timberlake. Troup was quite impressive and looked like a seasoned performer. Robyn won by submitting an online video that was voted on in the weeks up to and during the Grammy telecast.

Of course, the show opened with a nod to the past and the near future as a newly reformed Police opened up the show with their classic Roxanne. Sting and crew are expected to announce a world tour today.
