I figure we can keep discussion on the awards in the other topic but have a nice compiled list of the nominations in this topic as they get announced.

[Gravity.]

Album of the Year is certainly unexpected. I've heard a lot from each of the albums, but I'm surprised that Lady A and Katy got nominations. Neither one of them really were that great. Katy's album was a lot of fun, but it burnt quickly. Lady A's album was just all right. It had about three or four good songs on it. "Need You Now" was the standout, of course.

lol. Interesting first post.

I'm okay with conversation in here too although maybe after the nominations have been announced so as to keep the nominations all on the first page, thus easy to find.

[Sure Thing]

Where in the hell is the R&B album for album of the year?

Or perhaps the nominations can all be placed in a modified form of your first post of the thread.

Yeah, I'll likely do that once they get posted on the Grammy page. Luckily I've also commandeered the next two posts in this topic because I'll likely run out of room.

I hope Kem gets a nom...

[bigb0882]

Katy Perry? I mean, her songs are hella catchy, but album of the year??? Lady A? They had one great song, IMO. Clearly the nominations are all about who had hype.

[slicknickshady]

Get it Em.

[Spidey]

Not liking the Bad Romance snub from Song of the Year and Record of the Year...

[slicknickshady]

Get it Em!

[Janhova's Witness]

Ridiculous nominations so far, for the most part.

We heard you the first time.

[HolidayGuy]

^It'[s the Shammys--- er, Grammys- what do you expect? :)

Arcade Fire and Eminem are critical hits- Gaga moreso with singles (i.e. Bad Romance- that seemed like a likely Record contender). I gather that the nod for The Fame Monster is to compensate for The Fame not getting nominated (because of eligibility issues).

[Night Senses]

No Janelle Monae for BNA? *Side eye*

Say Wha? The Fame was nominated last year. Shape up HG, you losing it.

[HolidayGuy]

Ooppppsss- I was thinking about her not getting the New Artist nomination. My bad. :)

[When I Ruled the World]

I'm VERY pissed that "Bad Romance" didn't get a nod for "Record of the Year".






VERY F*ing PISSED.

PREACH IT!

[Black Jesus]

GaGa not getting nominated for SOTY or ROTY for "Bad Romance" has got to be one of the biggest snubs in Grammy history. I guarantee you that song will be the defining pop song of the decade.

[ificanthaveyou]

The Grammys are so full of politics its sickening. Beiber can get an BNA but Ke$ha can't??? And I'm suprised Halo (Live) got nominated. Didn't it win a big award already last year?

I agree. I'm sorry but there is nothing spectacular about Ke$ha's music that would be appealing to the Grammy board. She doesn't write most of her own music, she can't sing...I don't know what else there is
