DJN: DJ U2, Eminem, *Steely Dan,* Faith Hill Win Grammys You ~~L-O-V-E~~ pickin' winners , don't cha ? <vbg> ;-) LOS ANGELES (AP)--Veteran rockers U2 and Steely Dan and country singer Faith Hill stole some of the Grammy thunder Wednesday from Eminem, whose angry lyrics entangled the ceremonies in controversy. Steely Dan, who had never won a Grammy until Wednesday, claimed three, including album of the year for "Two Against Nature," besting Enema'em's controversial "The Marshall Mathers LP." Eminem won three awards in rap music categories. U2 also won three awards, including the prestigious song and record of the year for "Beautiful Day." Hill won three awards, including best country album. Her "Breathe" won best country vocal performance and her duet with her husband, Tim McGraw, won best country collaboration with vocals. D'Angelo and Destiny's Child won two Grammys apiece. D'Angelo's "Voodoo" won best R&B album and his song, "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" won best male R&B vocal performance. Destiny's Child "Say My Name" won best R&B song and best R&B performance by a group. Steely Dan also won best pop album for "Two Against Nature," their first disc in 19 years, as well as best pop vocal performance by a group for "Cousin Dupree." Eminem -the target of 100 protesters outside the awards show -was honored for best solo rap performance, best rap album and best rap performance by a duo or group for his collaboration with his mentor and producer, Dr. Dre. Eminem's nomination for album of the year for "The Marshall Mathers LP" drew the most controversy. The album, which has sold nearly 8 million copies, denigrates homosexuals, describes the murder of his wife and has a rape fantasy involving Eminem's mother. Elton John came under intense criticism from gay activists for agreeing to perform with the 28-year-old Detroit rapper during the Grammy show. (END) DOW JONES NEWS 02-22-01 12:00 AM
