I think Tony is a lock to win Traditional Pop Vocal Album as he'll most likely be getting votes from all the artists on his album and their respective labels, teams, etc...
Carrie could very well have a total of 7 Grammys the night of February 12th!
Wishful thinking... Well this was a surprisingly good night. I was expecting to go to bed and be pissed that Carrie wasn't at all nominated. Instead she got one VERY unexpected nomination, and a bonus nomination. No complaints here!

I'm pretty sure Carrie wouldn't get a Grammy if Tony's album won. She only would if he were nominated for and won the general Album of the Year category.

On the nominations list it says: Tony Bennett and Various Artists. Yes, but Tony also won the same category for his first Duets album, and his collaborators on that record were not awarded a Grammy for that win in 2007. Unless the rules have changed since then. |

I'm not sure.. I just assumed that meant all the artists on the album with him... I don't see what else it would mean. |

LOL at Mama's Song getting a nomination, but obviously it's is for vocal performance, not quality of songwriting, and her vocals were lovely. Happy she's more popular than Miranda Lambert with the Grammy voters and Music Row politics can't influence the outcome. On the flip side, Brad isn't popular with the Grammy voters either like he is at the country music associations so that's probably why RM didn't get a nomination.

I do not think all of the artists will get a Grammy if Tony's album wins. It's his album, not theirs.
Mama's Song has actually grown on me quite a bit. I'm not going to lie, I originally wanted to slit my wrists when I heard it was the 4th single, but I feel like MS showed a side of Carrie's personal life, that no other song she's released has. Her delivery/emotion on that song is one of her best, and right up there with "Don't Forget to Remember Me" in my book.

Well I'm very shocked that Carrie got a Grammy nom for MS! I agree with Typo that with the right music, Carrie could dominate the awards, especially if she gets a nomination for MS...lol
I hope she gets a performance slot now. Great time for her to promo some new music! :)

You could argue Country Female Vocal Performance has been a weak category over the last several years. I'd consider Beyonce and Sheryl Crow as Grammy darlings but I don't think Carrie has defeated anyone big enough to be considered one yet. Congratulations to Carrie on the nomination(s).

^ I think they merged female and male country vocal performances into one category, which makes Mama's Song's nomination more impressive than what you make it out to be.

It's only one nomination though. In recent years Country generally doesn't win the big awards. Personally I prefer classic Country over modern Country music, and I think those voting feel the same way. I don't think it's impossible for Carrie to win Album Of The Year or Record Of The Year but I think the odds are stacked against her.

I believe Carrie is fully capable of doing the same with the right music. |

ETA: When Fearless first came out, it was my jam. So before anybody says I'm trolling, I'm not. But I in no way would award it Album of the Year. |

So, it's definitely possible for her to win/be nominated in the General Field. I truly did not expect her to be nominated this year, with the new rules. Her vocals shine on that song, though, so I'll take it. |

Country artists won Album of the Year 4 times within the years of 2000-2010, Record of the Year 3 times within the past 5 years, and Song of the Year 2 times within the past 5 years. It's not like Country goes unnoticed, so with the right material, Carrie certainly doesn't have any odds stacked against her. JTTW was never nominated for Song of the Year, it should have been though... Yes, it was. Nominated for the 49th Grammy Awards, lost to Not Ready To Make Nice by the Dixie Chicks. |

I'm thrilled Carrie got a Grammy nomination for "Mama's Song." The lyrics leave much to be desired, but in terms of vocals and production, this is one of her best songs. I think Carrie's emotion is what really sells the incredibly dull lyrics; I'm thinking her interpretive skill is what gave her the edge with the voters. Lyrical quality aside, she deserves to be nominated for such a beautiful, emotional vocal performance. Since the nomination is not based on the quality of the song, I see nothing wrong with this nomination, because it is about the vocal.
I'm interested to see what Carrie has in store for her next album. I have supported her since Idol and even though I have loved most of her material, I'd be lying if I said I didn't have incredibly high expectations for this album based on Carrie's comments. Although I have been pretty defensive when it comes to defending Carrie's choices as an artist, I hope she knows what she's getting herself into. Most of her fans are going nuts for new material, and we've gone almost a year without a new single. The press has heard plenty of comments about how she's taking her time on this album and wants to make it her best yet, but I hope it doesn't backfire on her if it doesn't live up to the hype.
Honestly, I'm a little concerned that Carrie has mentioned she has written so much for the new album. In my mind, you better be a darn good writer to pick your own songs over those of professional writers. I think Carrie has potential, but she could use some guidance to grow in terms of increasing the quality of her writing. If she claims this album is her best yet and it's a "masterpiece," she better be DAMN sure these cowrites are the best songs she could find if she's going to include them. Carrie has proven she knows a great song when she hears one, but considering her history with songs like "Undo It" "Mama's Song," "All-American-Girl" and don't know how much confidence I have in Carrie to pick the best songs she can possibly get her hands on.

Caitlyn Smith works as a songwriter with Brett James. Her most recognized song is off of Jason Aldean CD. She co-wrote It Ain't Easy.
If I remember right wasn't Steve McEwan one of the co-writes to I know you won't?

I love All American Girl and would say that is one of Carrie's better co-writes. It has been a very popular song - a lot of sales and is one of her higher spun songs. I think AAG is a song-writing success for Carrie. However, I completely agree that she should choose the best songs for the album even if that means she did not write them. In fact, I fully support this idea. I hope that she can try to be impartial when looking at her options and really try to choose the best quality songs even though I know she must be invested in the songs she writes.
