Why Beck should thank Shirley Manson — and Kanye West

West took umbrage with Beck’s surprise win over his friend Beyonce’s self-titled album. But in an open letter to West posted on her Facebook page, Garbage frontwoman Shirley Manson said it’s the rapper who needs to learn some respect.

“You disrespect your own remarkable talents and more importantly you disrespect the talent, hard work and tenacity of all artists when you go so rudely and savagely after such an accomplished and humble artist like Beck,” Manson wrote. “You make yourself look small and petty and spoilt.”

“I thought she was going to win,” Beck said of his competition for the award. “Come on, she’s Beyonce!”
