it dont mean nothing.

that's nice. he won't win tho.

Cool

Wished he would have got an album of the year nom since those nominations are horrid this year and he might have stood a chance beings they like to recognize vets

prob between Beyonce and Taylor Swift now tho, yuck

Way to go Prince!
Congrats on the nomination

they need to give him this award ...so his forced to go on a World Tour ...10 years of relaxing is enough i think

Dreamer nominated in the Rock category. That's exactly want everyone was hoping for, doubting it would happen. Yessssaaahhh. Congratulations!!!

That's wonderful. For all the naysayers, take that . it will be great to see him again!

You need to cut it out. Prince is never going on a world tour again. He's been there done that too many times.

Dayclear said:

relaxing?? are you nuts - he works VERY hard for his money (with the exception of his websites)

Dreamer.....I love it. Go for it Prince.....

No competition in my opinion, boring old guys vs. exciting old guy that rocks it out.

Great news

I congratulate Prince on the nomination for a Grammy for the Rock category with the song "Dreamer". Love the song. It is my favorite song of the Lotusflow3r set.

YOU CANNOT POST THAT HERE !

God I hope he wins and shows up to accept his award. I totally want to hear him give a 'chemtrails' acceptance speech. It would be priceless.

blumer said:

I was hoping he would get nominated 4 that as well

T-Pain is also nominated

what does this tell you about awards shows?

You gotta love the naysayers..

The fact that a track from the lotusflow3r cd was nominated is fantastic in itself, because there was no promotion by any record company for it, and he basically promoted the album only through target and with minimal television appearances.

So whether "Dreamer" wins or not in the rock category, the fact that it has a grammy nod says a lot. Love the lyrics and the guitar playing in that song.

Yeah, well that height, high heels and sexy image, made the man you mock a legend with a large catalogue. and a lot of money.

hopefully they'll add the song to the Grammy Compilation and those who slept can hear it and subsequently cop LotusFlower and hear other gems like Colonized Mind and Wall of Berlin.

yeah...that sounds good

and the Leno performance was the best thing on television in the last year

but awards shows suck

Aww I'm happy for him Congrats Prince

luv4u said:

It's on my birthday and I have to work But I know he'll take it home

cool

Nominated for best rock vocal?!! Hm, great guitar playing, but the vocals..? Nothing special. And the song itself is a very traditional dated Hendrix rock song.

wow! surprising.....but great!
imagine prince takes this award? amongst legendary rockers like Neil and Bruce and Dylan? hehehe....would be GREAT if he wins it.

I feel Prince ain't taught some nothing about this industry.

This is quite important, and 4 one very good reason...

Prince is NEVER on a "Rock" station, be it radio or the various commercial free music stations/networks, such as Music Choice, XM, etc.

He is also frequently only found in the R&B section of most record stores, etc.

What's even more baffling is that often, when his music is played on an R&B channel, it's "Let's Go Crazy".

Personally, I'm a Funk musician, but also Rock, R&B, Blues, Jazz, etc.

I understand Prince's musical diversity makes it difficult 4 these folks to categorize him, but it's refreshing 2 see him get recognition 4 such a fantastically rockin' song such as "Dreamer".
