"Dominicans shine in the Latin Grammies."

Well, yes that is gramatically correct, when you have more then one you add an "s" at the end which makes it a plural. In this case, we have" two" Dominicans JLG and Joseito. But from the title you would think it is more then just two but rather a dozen Dominicans in the event.

I just don't see how Joseito fits into the awards. The only people who get recognition are the ones that currently generate money for the industry and JM though admirable is pasé. I don't think he is making any money for anyone.
