I'm gonna start off by saying that I'm surprised that no one has posted anything about this considering that Tyka IS Prince's sister and all that...

yesterday Tykas' husband posted on Tykas Facebook (and i quote)

Congratulations to my wife for getting a Grammy Award Nomination for her song JOY-Weather you win or not you're always a star in my eyes - Don't forget to vote will follow with more info later - Reese

She hasn't been nominated, know one has. Someone just submitted her song for consideration. BTW: I could have farted into a speaker and submitted that for consideration.

What part of Grammy Nominations have not been announced do people not understand?

Here is the official Grammy website link to their official nominees: http://www.grammy.com/NOMINEES

Notice something? They are all from last year. Why? Cause they haven't announced this year's nominees.

What Tyka and her husband are referring to is her song being deemed "illegible" for nomination. What does that mean? The Grammy's have verified that her song "qualifies" to be nominated, meaning that someone applied to be considered for nomination and the grammys verified that it was released during the qualifying time period. Either the two of them lack comprehension or they just don't care. Take your pick.

Seriously....seriously. That's all I'm gonna say cause I don't want to get banned.

Stop.

But I'm with sosgemini on this. I don't even know how she'd be eligeble (I might be mispelling that word too) since it's not even a new song, lovely as it may be.

Eligibility for consideration is any music commercially released in the US from October 2008 - September 2009. And all that's going on here is exactly that - Tyka placed her song into the board for consideration. It has not been nominated for a Grammy in any way, shape or form.

She has not been nominated. Please stop spreading misinformation.

In Tyka's own words on her Facebook page:

Hi Everybody I need Yalls Help! The voting members can look for her on their own on the entry list. All I would say is, "If any of you all are Voting members for the Grammy Awards, please consider a vote for Tyka in the Pop Category". If people want more information, just give it to them in their inbox.

Yes. By all means Tyka, voters should choose a song as the result of a plea by its singer, instead of basing their choice on the tune's musical merit.

I know it's her FB page and thus she's responsible for it etc..., but I'd suggest this was also posted by her understandably proud and excited (and possibly a little confused) hubby and there's a good chance Tyka hasn't seen any of the 'nomination' talk yet

How embarrassing.

This is the kind of stuff that keeps me loving the org.

This place is like the web version of New Orleans in the book "Confederacy of Dunces" by John Kennedy Tool. I can't quite figure out who is Ignacius J Reilly or Myrna Minkoff but I am working on it.

How about apologizing and acknowledging you made a mistake. As a mod of this site, that's the least you can do.
