I loved that Paramore record. Although I think its in the wrong category though. Hayley's lead vocals are dope on that track. For some reason I hear a young Michael Jackson influence in her delivery. Ionno, call me crazy nuts

-

Iggy will have a good night, but Sam Smith may give a more lasting impression for the voters in this category.

God awful, that is really all i can say about this batch of nominees very little value in that, there is really no variance in what they nominate at all. Really the only good things i can see were the nods to ryan adams that album was one of the best albums of the year, Barry Manilow is interesting to me because it was a totally indie release and also NO DIGITAL and some retailers were cut out, though it still was a top 10 record. But dreadful are the Coldplay nominations that album is terrible, sorry, but they are toast at this point, they need to take time off and get back to basics, but the whole dance groove shit, they suck doing it.

Surprise was U2 for Rock Album of the year, the reason being was that BILLBOARD when on a whole hatefest because this was free, and pointed out everywhere that this ALBUM came out too late to be nominated so its interesting that they were too late for Album of the year but not for Rock Album of the year, again more grammy nonsense.

Big miss was the Foo Fighters, though the album was too late the first single should have been in their for rock.

I hear Beyonce has 5 nods. Looks like she going to de-thrown Aretha by becoming the black female with the most Grammy awards. She and her PR crew are probably preparing trade ads and press releases as we speak, declaring herself "The New Queen of Soul". lol

Honestly, The MTVVMAs, AWAs, & Grammies just about looks the same. It like I've said in previous threads, most music awards shows these days are nothing but a damn neo-Illuminati block party.

Beyoncé Is Now The Most Nominated Woman In Grammy History

-

12/06/2014 @ 9:45AM

-

he nominations for the 57th annual Grammy Awards were announced yesterday, and while she didn’t pick up every nomination the masses thought she might (the singer was surprisingly left out of both Record and Song of the Year), Beyoncé has a lot to celebrate. Adding 6 new nominations to her career total, the superstar is now the single most nominated woman in Grammy history. After receiving one nomination last year, she was tied with Dolly Parton for first place, but the two no longer hold that distinction together.

-

With 52 total nominations over her years in the business, Beyoncé has shown that you can be both commercially and critically successful with every move you make.

-

The singer was first nominated in 2000 with Destiny’s Child for their song “Bills, Bills, Bills”, though they went home empty handed that night. She won her first trophies the following year for “Say My Name”, which took home two R&B awards, but missed out on the larger Record and Song of the Year, for which it was also nominated. The group would go on to be nominated for over a dozen awards before they finally took a bow a decade ago.

-

Since then, Beyoncé has continued to collect nominations and awards left and right, seemingly for everything she does. Impressively, she has been nominated for at least one award every year since 2000, only missing 2003.

-

While Beyoncé has gathered the most nominations of any woman, she does not actually have the most wins for a woman in the business. Right now, she is in third place on that ranking, behind Aretha Franklin and Alison Krauss, who is in the lead for women, having won 27 Grammys. Come February, Mrs. Carter will likely move into second place, as Aretha is only beating her by one spot.

-

With this new switch up, Beyoncé moves into seventh place on the overall ranking of artists with the most recognitions, switching places with industry veteran David Foster, who has produced some of the biggest songs and albums in history. Foster actually holds the distinction of having won Album of the Year—a prize Bey still has yet to take home—three times in the 90’s, for: Natalie Cole’s Unforgettable…with Love, TheBodygaurd soundtrack, and Celine Dion’s Falling Into You.

-

Quincy Jones still holds the record for the most nominations in history with 79, followed by composer Georg Solti, Beyoncé’s husband Jay-Z, composer John Williams and jazz musician Chick Correa—who are tied. Immediately above Beyoncé is close personal friend Kanye West, who now has 55 nominations.

-

It is yet to be seen how many (if any) trophies Bey will take home on Sunday, February 8th, but it isn’t often she goes home empty handed.

I will never understand how someone feels honor by paying for accolades that they technically did not deserve. When Bouncy has her downfall she is going to have an absolute melt down. She is so use to people giving her things instead of working hard to earn them. Bouncy must be paying them good because they love kissing her ass. Nice to see Aloe Blacc, Jack White, Annie Lennox and Barbara nominated although they will probably not win anything. Sad the Grammys has turned into "Who can pay for the most nominations"

Co-sign! And how da elle Kanye got 55 nominations! eek eek eek And Jay Z has more noms than them both? whofarted Yeah, I'm sure its all because folks in the industry think their music is really that good. Yup, these noms are totally deserved...on their own merit. neutral

This is very true.

For anyone that doesn't agree with this it's obvious that you do not realize that an online world of amazing music is at your fingertips.

The music industry is far from dead.

As for these nominations, Sia, Sam Smith, St. Vincent, HAIM...these are good choices.
