Her mother couldn't even console her. The girl was a mess. It trips me out because she always talks about how she's non-materialistic and isn't into the "glitter and gold." Yet, that chick was bent over on the floor bawling when she wasn't recognized for her music. You have to look beneath the surface, boo! It ain't even about the materialistic stuff, its about giving props & credit. Ain't nothing wrong with seeking recognition for your music. Shit, thats how you survive in the industry(Being eknowledged & respect by your peers and audience) otherwise, whats left? Donny Hathaway seeked for recognition & acceptance all his career and died trying. I totaly understand where Inida is coming from even tho I'm not a fanatic,,,maybe its a libra thing, who knows | |

Super Bowl will still be fresh in their minds. Even though "All Nite (Don't Stop)" could've gotten a Best Dance Recording nod.
no it couldn't. it's dance-pop by the numbers. and the Super Bowl is the least of the reasons DamitaJo will be overlooked by the Grammys. 
-U2 will perform and win something, as always.
not likely. didn't make the deadline. -Eminem will perform.
didn't make the deadline, unless D12 gets a nomination, which is highly unlikely. [Edited 11/20/04 13:38pm] "Awards are like hemorrhoids. Sooner or later, every asshole gets one." | |

Thanks for the opulent pearls of wisdom, dearest GrayKing. Peradventure your assessments are those of a teller of fortunes? Such mastery befuddles me. Lo, in the orient! There appears the gracious light of sarcasm lifting his burning head.  | |

Another thing about India.Arie, she was that year's top nominee. Wasn't it something like 6 or 7 noms? She had to think she was taking home at least one. When she didn't, it had to feel somewhat devastating. You predicted Eminem and U2 performances, but I don't think either will show, especially not Eminem. If he's not up for any awards, he won't be there. I believe the top three contenders for Album of The Year are: Prince - Musicology Usher - Confessions Ray Charles - Genius Loves Company I can see it going either way: Prince for returning to public consciousness and the fact he never got the big prize; Usher for massive chart numbers and technical studio achievement; Ray Charles for the recently deceased icon vote. | |

-Destiny's Child will be nominated for best R&B album, and "Smell My Breath" will be nominated. -In a strange stroke of luck, Ashlee will be nominated -- along with Hillary Duff. -Alicia Keys & Usher will pick up a grammy for "My Boo" or "If I Ain't Got You" -Janet will be snubbed. Super Bowl will still be fresh in their minds. Even though "All Nite (Don't Stop)" could've gotten a Best Dance Recording nod. -Anita Baker will perform and win something. -Queen Latifah's jazz album will be nominated. -Either Franz Ferdinand or the Scissor Sisters will be nominated in Best Rock category. -U2 will perform and win something, as always. -Eminem will perform. U2 & Desinty's Childs albums came out too late for grammy nominations Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3 | |

at least the grammy's are more fair when it comes to real talent i mean you'll never see Usher or Ashlee Simpson walk away with 4 grammys  Check it out ...Shiny Toy Guns R gonna blowup VERY soon and bring melody back to music..you heard it here 1st! http://www.myspacecomment...theone.mp3 | |

4 grammy's could be possible for Usher this year so I wouldn't speak too soon. I thought that his album was nice too. Studiotraffic-One of the fastest ways to get payed on the net! | |

IMHO, awards like the AMAs are too pop and the Grammys tend to be too snobby still (top pop and rock albums tend to be snatched up by artists like James Taylor and John Foggerty...still!). U2 is good but come on! | |
