 Great! I'm glad the industry still thinks so highly of Prince. He is one of the greatest and although many may disagree, this Lotusflower collection is a great work of art IMHO. | |

 If Bruce wins this one, I will be kind of upset. To me, most of the others in the category are just pop songs and not rock. **--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••--**--••**--••-

Awesome news! Very well deserved as others have said one of Ps best songs in years!
I think he has a great shot of winning this one! The greatest live performer of our times was is and always will be Prince.
Remember there is only one destination and that place is U All of it. Everything. Is U. | |

Fabulous news! Glad to see he's been recognised, even though it's not my favourite category. I hope he wins it! "Free URself, B the best that U can B, 3rd Apartment from the Sun, nothing left to fear" Prince Rogers Nelson - Forever in my Life - | |

I highly doubt he will win or perform. i dont know, i think he has a fair enough chance. Prince has more clout among artists and industry types than regular joes. I listen rock on the radio mainly because its the better of the crap music out right now. I felt strongly on first listen that "Dreamer" should have been dispatched to rock radio, it would have gotten a better shake than the crap on MplSound. I highly doubt ANY music critic could doubt the merits of "Dreamer" other than the mainstream popularity of Prince. It is a great track plain and simple. and i would say better than other nominated songs on that category. Four music legends getting a much deserved nod of approval. | |

I fully agree. Congrats to Prince! And just because I'm greedy, I'd love to see him perform the song at the ceremony and melt everyone's face. | |

The Grammys have a rock vocal category and a rock instrumental category. He's nominated for rock vocal because there's a lead vocal on the track. If "Dreamer" had been an instrumental and got nominated, he'd be up against Steve Vai, Jeff Beck, Brian Setzer, Booker T, and Brad Paisley (I thought he was country, but he's in a rock category). | |

If Bruce wins this one, I will be kind of upset. To me, most of the others in the category are just pop songs and not rock. Besides, the category deals with best vocal performance so I have high hopes for Prince. | |

many thoughts come to mind after reading this
1) Dreamer...after all the recent discussion about the tune 
2) I remember Prince saying something like "what the F is a grammy?" when he was really rebelling 3) Well done again, Prince...even if the digital garden digs ya, it can be a treat Snare drum pound on the 2 & 4 | |

Yeah, I phoned the radio stations just yesterday for a request and they gave me some crazy excuse the reason why they would not be able to play it or other songs from the albums. "It has to be a hit". How in the world do they exspect it to become a hit if you don't play it on the airwaves!! Crazy DJ.
I hope he wins!! 2elijah said: HonestMan13 said: 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. 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.

off this topic but Grammy related
WTF NPG backs Nick Jonas?? Nick Jonas & The Administration (Tommy Babarella (keys), Michael Bland (drums), Sonny Thompson (guitar) and some other dude (bass)). At the Grammy Award nominations David Ryan Harris played but Sonny Thompson is going on tour. guess they go with whoever pays the most. JT got Blackwell and think someone else for his tour a few years ago.. | |

Love the Dylan song, The Bruce one is boring, but I was never a massive fan (it'll prob'ly win )
Want to hear the Neil Young one and John Fogerty. Love them both. How weird that all the nominees are so old, tho... "We've never been able to pull off a funk number"

From what I understand, the use of the word "vocal" in the nomination title only suggests differentiation from the other categories, as in "Rock Song With Vocals". It has nothing to do with the quality, or lack of quality in the vocal delivery. Bob Dylan is nominated. Have you heard that crazy polecat sing? If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |

I highly doubt he will win or perform. There's a new poll on the front page asking who will win the award. In the coming weeks, when it is announced who's going to perform at the Grammy's, there's about a 90% chance that person will take the trophy home. If prince.org were to be made idiot proof, someone would just invent a better idiot. | |
