Tearing Apart the Grammys
The Daily News says what everyone is thinking:
But Grammy voters Sunday night bestowed a treasure trove of trophies on "Genius Loves Company," the final album from Ray Charles, who died last year.
Not only is "Genius" not the Album of the Year, it could be the least necessary album of Charles' career.
The Grammy salute to Ray was just the cherry on top of a full evening's worth of moldy cake.

As a huge Ray Charles fan, I'm still inclined to agree with the tone of the article... do a special tribute to Charles, sure (or hell... make a movie about him!) but don't patronize his legacy by awarding a pretty clearly crappy recording with a Grammy.
