It was a night fit for a Hip-Hop soul queen as Mary J. Blige collected three trophies Sunday (Feb. 11) during the 49th Annual Grammy Awards. The singer, who garnered eight nominations and brought the house down with an emotional performance of "Be Without You", won the Grammy for Best R&B Album for the The Breakthrough as well as Best R&B Song and Best R&B Performance. T.I. took home two Grammys for Best Rap Solo Performance for "What You Know" and Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "My Love" with Justin Timberlake. Gnarls Barkley scored two Grammy awards for Best Urban/Alternative Performance and Alternative Music Album, while Chamillionnaire won for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group. Backed by Blige and Earth, Wind and Fire, Ludacris performed "Runaway Love" moments after sending a special shout out to Bill O'Reily and Oprah Winfrey upon accepting the Grammy for Best Rap Album for Release Therapy.
