They were supposed to release it on September 1st but realazing that it would then miss the Grammy cut-off date they pushed it back to August 31st just so it would be eligible.

And the shit backfired because it wasn't even nominated. I bet Clive is pissed!

IMO he deserves 2...maaaaybe 3 of those at best.
This album was just OK.

How in the hell did Beyonce get 10 Grammy nominations? 10 GRAMMYS?

Again, it's a panel of judges. If they like you, they choose you.

Yeah but 10 Grammy Awards? What is the Academy coming to? Her album wasn't all that fly anyway, just another gimmick. This is just miserable.

I was mostly surprised by Album of the Year.

johnart said:

Oh it was because of the popularity of If I Were A Boy, Single Ladies, and Halo. Just like I was surprised Black Eyed Peas were nominated for Album of the Year for that horrendous The END, which everyone panned.

silverchild said:

Didn't Mariah get 10 noms for The Emancipation of Mimi?

Just sayin'.

All the Grammys are is just a snapshot of that particular year in music.


People could find something to bitch about every year.

Like in '85 when Lionel Richie won Album of the Year over Purple Rain.

Or in '01 when Steely Dan won over Radiohead, Beck, and Eminem.

There's always this kinda talk when these award shows come up.

People make post after post talking about nominations. Then when their favorite artist doesn't get nominated or win. Those awards all of a sudden become "irrelevant".

lol why are people surprised Whitney didn't get nommed? Her album wasn't even hyped and her music still sucks like it always did.

silverchild said:

You know I listened to the samples on Amazon and had no desire to pick that album up.

purplesweat said:

I think the release was pretty hyped up.
Also, the whole "sentimental" thing. I think a lot of folk (myself included) thought she'd be a shoe in on that alone.

Her music did not always suck. Maybe it wasn't your flavor, but she was an outstanding vocalist once.

Personally, I'm not complaining about the decisions that were made for the nominations because at the end of the day it's just a trophy of metal and no award is greater than talent. All I'm saying is that many of these award shows have become watered down by sales, popularity, and greed. Actually I'm glad that some of my favorite artists don't get caught up in all of this hype because in reality, many other people have talents and go unnoticed for their entire career, not only just because of an award show but because of these unloyal record labels.

Just when you thought that the Grammys couldn't sink any lower and become even more irrelevant, they release a list of nominees that nothing short of an indictment on American commercial music.

With a few exceptions, I honestly can't understand how any of these people sell their music(?). Or for that matter why people subject themselves to it on radio yet alone actually buy it.

johnart said:

Meh, she could hold a note for a long time, woopdeedoo. Her voice was powerful but her music has always put me to sleep.

Im not complaining but how does Hall & Oates get nominated for a 33 year old song ? Because they performed it on some live renegade album? I dont get all their rules. But congrats to Daryl and John. I will have to check out that recording of Sara Smile
