Glad to see the Bowie nominations. I doubt he'll win though no matter how much better his album is than his competition

First these are NOT nominations they are submissions and submissions are EVERYTHING, anything pretty much can be submitted by your record company, means nothing, industry votes it down to a few which is why you see the same limited nominations

What?!?! How is it even possible that any utterance from Beyonce did not end up on the list?

(That is sarcasm, BTW.)

sadly the grammies are a joke too exactly like the other awards..everything's decided by record companies..

They've put on a hell of a show the past few years though, nominations aside. It never fails to entertain.

That Pre-whatever-List is not EVEN half the categories the GRAMMYS will be handing out awards for...And trust me when I tell you the album Blurred Lines will end up with about 8 Nods when the final voting is done. The single itself is listed as "Disco, R&B & Pop"...He'll have crossover nominations..12-weeks @ #1 in The States with 5-Million copies sold domestically.
