I think it's possible, but I don't think he should being that Jack White, Fiona Apple, and Norah Jones put out great albums this year.

JERKIN' EVERYTHING IN SIGHT!!!!!

It's quite possible, but I can see him being snubbed just like they did Kanye last year and Janelle two years back. He's going to be a dominant contender in the R&B field though. I'm even into dude like that... confused

Its possible, he will for sure be up for things, he might be this years "alicia keys" at the show, like her first year, BUT like it was mentioned albums by Norah jones and a few others got alot of praise, sales, and also wwere just great records, Im pulling for Norah, because its well deserved for this record.

Right... those records appealed to everybody and made really good radio airplay. So far Frank just has one single that is out now. I guess time will tell... I am not a huge fan but I do hope he gets nominated hell even win but like some have said others have released better albums this year as well.

Then again, the Grammys aren't that hip, but didn't Amy get record of the year or somthing like that?

I don't get it either. I mean, FINE, he writes decent lyrics but everything else is mediocr:, the voice, the music, his performances. I just don't get it.

Neither India or Alicia should have been nommed for all those Grammys in my opinion.
