Congratulations, Prince!

that's a great category, some great songs.. but i think prince has a chance to win. although i absolutely love that dylan song.

The 52nd Annual GRAMMY Awards will be held on "GRAMMY Sunday," Jan. 31, 2010, at Staples Center in Los Angeles and once again will be broadcast live in high definition TV and 5.1 surround sound on CBS from 8–11:30 p.m. (ET/PT).

The songs for this award are all good.

But dammit, do the songs selected for Best Rock Duo or Group performance suck.

For "Dreamer???" Alright!! that's what I'm talking about! I love that track and the lyrics!!!Congrats to Prince, let's hope he wins a grammy for it. Even if he doesn't, the fact that "Dreamer" is nominated for a grammy is fantastic.

He's got a good track record on these under the radar nominations with the Grammys. He should make room on the mantleplace. Just in case...

This is song is classic and will bring home the Grammy. I wonder if they will ask him to perform it?

That would be awesome. He needs to do a performance somewhere, so it could be heard played live just before the grammys.

Awwwww! Congrats to Prince .... heartfelt song.

Fantastic song, greatly deserved nomination

We can always hope that he'll be asked to perform. It'd be nice if he showed up and they televised the award being given out as opposed to the previous wins he's had.

Very nice, very nice... He has a good shot at it IMO...

Need to compare?

Bob Dylan


John Fogerty (Old version, same song though...)


Bruce Springsteen


Neil Young
sorry, can't find a video...

I was actually talking about him doing a separate performance elsewhere live, so the song could be heard and promoted before the award show. We certainly can't depend on radio these days to make the rounds, but it would be nice to hear it played live again. We had a lengthy discussion about the lyrics in "Dreamer" last week in this forum.

Dreamer is the best song Prince has done in a long time, in my opinion, so I'm happy to see it get some recognition.

yay!!! for prince!!!!!

Exciting, definitely hoping he pulls in the award.

WOW. he is in great company this year!
I like all the songs nominated this year.

I like them all. To me it's between Dylan's song and Dreamer.
I like Springsteen's but its a little too sappy.


Surprisingly, Prince's song is the edgiest!
With artists like Springsteen and Dylan in the same category in 2009, that says a lot. But i do not know what.

No sticky status?

wow thanx 4 sharing the info hope he wins and it would be cool if he was there to accept it and perform....

Not surprised. I think he could take it.

i'm glad to see my prediction came true!!! i was hoping for a couple more (like Better With Time for R & B song; or Colonized Mind in the same category as Dreamer)

I've been singing Colonized Mind in my head lately because I was listening to that track all week. It grows on you after a while, but yes, I would put Colonized Mind in the same category as Dreamer.
