These nominations are a MESS.
Bruce should have been nominated for Album and Song of the Year but 3 noms is still good.
We Are Never Ever getting a random 6th slot in ROTY though, lmaoo
And not Kelly Clarkson plauging the Grammys like that
I can't at LMFAO and Flo Rida getting nominations

Best Song written for Visual Media
Abraham's Daughter - Arcade Fire (Hunger Games) Learn Me Right - Mumford & Sons and Birdy (Brave) Let Me Be Your Star - Katharine McPhee & Megan Hilty (Smash) Man or Muppet - Jason Segel & Walter (The Muppets) Safe and Sound - Taylor Swift feat The Civil Wars (The Hunger Games)
I wonder if Man or Muppet could win here since they won the Oscar

Blown Away should have been nominated because it is her best album and an artistic progression. I think that merging the gender categories hurt her quite a bit. And has anyone heard The Time Jumpers album? I'm curious. There was never a Best Female Country Album, though, so I don't see why merging the gender categories hurt her. ??? The only category the Grammys merged in Country was the Male/Female Solo Vocals, and she's still nominated in it. Oh, well. She's got Country Song & Country Vocal. She wouldn't win a trophy for Song, but it's still somewhat to her accreditation, so I'm happy with these 2 nods! I'm thinking that she'll take Country Solo, which would be nice to see. I mean for Best Country Performance. She would still be nominated almost every year without fail if there was still a Female Country Solo category. I apologize if my words didn't come out well. Carrie still was nominated for Country Solo, as she should have for her career best single, but under the old categories, she would have likely gotten Country Female Vocal as well. I think she should have gotten Album as well, but alas.

Interesting to note that Carrie Underwood is the only female nominated in the Solo Country Performance category. I was sure Miranda Lambert would be in there too for "Over You". But then Miranda got an album nod and Carrie didn't? Go figure. I would have loved to see Carrie get nominated for her album. But, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger! All the more reason to work harder on the next one. Not that she needs industry approval, but it's always another reason to work harder at what you do. I'm just glad Carrie's name was somewhere, and I'm glad she's in a category she can actually win! Personally, considering her track record, and the fact that the only two people to ever beat her (Taylor and Miranda) aren't nominated against her, Carrie could very well win. Then again, the other competitors will be hard to beat.

Also, a general note: I'm shocked that "Springsteen" wasn't nominated in the general field. I thought it could have been in Song of the Year.

Why didn't Frank Ocean get any R&B song nominations? Frank got nominated for contemporary urban album of the year, at least. I can't believe the Grammys were so sorry about that category that they could only be bothered to nominate three people...and wasted one of those three spots on Fortune. The r&b vocal performance/song categories weren't a complete mess, but they lost me with the album categories. I'll post my full thoughts on things later, but I am happy to see the Grammys make up big time for snubbing Miguel last year (his ego is about to explode sooooooo much now, lol) and to see Kelly/WDKY do so well!

Well looks like Jay Z and Kanye will add to there lead on Eminem for Grammy's won. I think they at least get two wins each. But we'll see.

Adele only has one nod this year for Pop Vocal Performance. Well she dominated the awards last year so Grammys spread the love.

MOM was one of... two songs nominated for the Oscar. I'd say all four of these songs are better than MOM.

Some weird stuff as usual but I'm thinking this is one of the best overall years in nominations, if not the best since I've started following the Grammys.
The Song of the Year nominees are the most puzzling to me. Surprised to see no Mumford or Frank Ocean. Miguel is a lovely surprise.
While I love the nominations in general, the R&B field is again, startling.
fun. emerged as a real frontrunner.
I think Frank Ocean has a huge advantage in Album of the Year as the only non-pop/rock nominee.

I'm quite pleased with these nominations. I'm a little surprised Blow Me wasn't nominated for Pop Vocal, I would have thought P!nk would have been a bigger favorite this year. These nominations are a MESS. And not Kelly Clarkson plauging the Grammys like that Excuse you, Kelly is saving the Grammys thank you very much.

Jason's album did get nominated for something way down below though.
Norah Jones didn't get any nominations either.

Carrie Underwood the only woman in the Country Solo Performance category! Wow. Glad to see Wanted in there too! Which could give her an edge... But the category is tight! Yea, I could see Springsteen taking the win in this but I really want Blown Away to win!

Esperanza Spalding is nominated this year in the Jazz categories and long form music video. If Bieber had been nominated all 2011 BNA nominees would have been represented. Anyway, I remember a few pages ago that it was discussed that all 2011 BNA losers overshadowed the winner but well Spalding is still doing fine in her genre ;)

Just came in to say Frank Ocean has Best New Artist in the bag! I'm surprised they didn't nominate Gotye in the category. So many snubs. I just hope Fun doesn't sweep the awards.

So Run Boy Run is a beautifully shot, AMAZING music video. I'd love for it to win. And Houdini is very clever and visually arresting. It would make a good winner too.
I hope We Found Love doesn't win Music Video just because the song's so popular.
Otherwise: ROTY: Perfection, aside from the frontrunner, but frontrunner, so Gotye was always going to be here. SOTY: Pretty perfect. It's weird that apparently CMM is a better-written song than it is an overall record though. YES to The A Team. I'm predicting We Are Young, which I love. AOTY: Snub for Drake. Delightful surprise from Fun, my favorite eligible album. I wonder if anyone predicted Jack White. For the win: Black Keys or Frank Ocean.
+s New Artist Fun/Frank. Pop Solo Carly/Kelly. Group/Album (& Producer Bhasker) Fun. Alternative Album Fiona. Urban Contemp Album Frank. Country Group/Visual Media Song Civil Wars.
