Aww...Justin Beiber's manager is mad that his artist was completely snubbed by the Grammys this year. "The kid deserved it." - Scooter Braun

Oh I'm sorry: Thinkin' Bout You.

Yea its mandatory to include Beyonce even if she had an album or song out that came out the year before They will cheat, twist, and make loop holes just to nominate or give her a grammys, dont have a clue why but the ass kissing is getting old and pathetic.

They could have nominated ANY R&B song that exactly came out in 2012!! Mint Condition Believe in Us, R. Kelly Feelin Single, Charlie Wilson or any of Kem songs instead of Love On Top...(I dont particularly like Kem) but Kem is played on HEAVY I mean HEAVY rotation on adult R&B stations for over the last 2 years its mindblowing how he has yet to be nominated in that category.

Hey, at least she didn't win one last year. So there's progress.

BTW, according to The Dream, looks like she's gearing up to dominate next year. Starting around the Super Bowl time. Your favorite artist will be all over radio before her halftime show

The Devil is a liar

I wonder how artists like Prince, Stevie Wonder, WAR, Aretha Franklin, Patti, etc all who have little grammys except Stevie and Aretha feel about all these artists having more grammys than them for making shit music just because their popular.

Although the grammys are meaningless, I probably would feel some kind a way a little bit.

Like damn I work my ass off to complete these albums just to be rewarded nothing but all these today artists work on albums in less than a year or months time and get a zillion grammys for it and the music is not even good

You never know, she might! The Grammy's are pretty messed up.

lol nah Frank got this or maybe Hunter. I can't see it giving it to her. Not saying it won't happen or that it isn't possible (because it is) but I just don't see it for now.

[Edited 12/6/12 0:42am]

How will you feel/react if she wins? I just think it would be insane and ridiculous. I think she has a chance though becuase of her Beiber connection and it was a massively huge hit and you tube sensation. Damn, we are living in sad times.

If she wins there should be riots in the streets!

In terms of sales, TBY was the hit so it's understandable. Pyramids should've gotten SOTY nods, I like that song.

To be nominated for a Grammy.

http://www.mtv.com/news/a...raun.jhtml

Here's part of the article from MTV...

Bieber dropped Believe back in June, and neither the album nor any of its singles received a nod from the Recording Academy. Braun made it clear that he was pleased that Carly Rae Jepsen and her track "Call Me Maybe" got two nods. Fellow Schoolboy Records acts, the Wanted and Psy, also didn't receive any nominations, but Braun focused his frustration on Bieber.

He wrote, "first...congrats to @carlyraejepsen . thought u deserved a best new artist nom, but proud Call Me Maybe got u 2 noms. so proud of u. second....this time there wont be any wise words, no excuses, I just plain DISAGREE. The kid deserved it. Grammy board u blew it on this one. the hardest thing to do is transition, keep the train moving. the kid delivered. Huge succesful album, sold out tour, and won people over... ...this time he deserved to be recognized and I dont really have any kind nice positive things to say about a decision i dont agree with."

Like I said, deserved what?

Most of these nominations are just plain sad.

Other than a small amount that truly deserve a Grammy, the rest are nothing but pop trash.

I can remember the days when a Grammy really meant something. I would always buy the Album of the Year after it was announced (if I didn't already have it). These days, I can't even be bothered to watch the show unless someone great is performing.

I'm surprised that fun. got as many nods as they got n Mumford n Sons is taking home AOTY.

Pryamids was a dope song. Beginning to end. Period. I loved the storytelling, the transition. Too bad he, Def Jam or both decided to go the route they did with their video treatment for the song.

First of all you eliminated the entire first half of the song and focused on the second probably because it was more radio friendly to your target audience. Since the song was long, I always thought that the first half should've been edited for Pop/Crossover radio and leave the 2nd for the "Urban" markets. Wishful thinking I know but that was my initial assessment of how to best promote the song.

Stymie said:

I have heard none of the songs listed for SOTY and have not heard any of the AOTY picks.

At least they crossed genres for these categories this time. I can't believe you haven't heard "Stronger" from Kelly Clarkson. It's been in commercials and on every singing competition show.

Name the ones that aren't trash for you. I actually dig the nods in the main categories.

That could've killed the momentum of the song but I still think it needed a SOTY nod regardless. Oh well lol

I'll say it and get the flack for it but Call Me Maybe is a damn good pop song.

The only Album of the Year I would even consider buying would be Jack White's and I can only take so much of him. I do think he's very talented though.

The rest........... I haven't heard every song on each album, but what I have heard, does nothing for me.

[Edited 12/6/12 8:31am]

"Love On Top" was officially released as a single in December 2011 (which makes the song eligible for nomination in 2012). That's how it works.

Kem was nominated last year for his album, but he lost out.

R. Kelly did get a nomination for Best R&B Album for "Write Me Back."

Charlie Wilson didn't have any official released in 2012. All of the stuff you hear on the radio are recurrents.

So your saying a song HAS to be released in December that previous year in order to be acknowledge the following? What about the other R&B songs that were released as singles in December?

Is that fair to all the other songs that were exactly released in 2012?

You do have a point if thats true but I still feel they could have nominated other R&B songs that came out this year besides that one and the only reason why they did was because its Beyonce. I still stand by that. I would like to see Melanie Fiona win in that category or someone else but thats more than likely not going to happen.

Overall I am not tripping about the Grammys because its a machine and I understand how it operates I just think its sad BUT I am pleased with the slight change this year with the nominations overall.

That's a Grammy lesson lol the deadline for nominations is September (forgot the date). It's understandable why Beyonce got the nod. I actually like the song.

I guess I am. I don't mind some pop music from time to time, but I prefer music with more depth.
