Wow. I am SHOCKED that Usher did not get nominated for "Looking 4 Myself" for either R&B album category. No surprise that "Climax" got nominated, but it has some serious competition with "Adorn." That POS "Fortune" got a nomination...L4M is actually quite good. Not very commercially successful (Usher's first "failure" I guess), but an excellent album. I'm just a little shocked right now. sorry but Fortune is the better album.

Now how is it that Bieber's the teenager, but Scooter Braun is the brat He needs to pipe down. Justin was never a favorite. Even Carly Rae, you got the feeling she was going to get something; there was some buzz there and she was being asked about it in interviews. I don't think Justin was getting that kind of attention at all; for him the big focus was on the fact that he was finally breaking free from the teenybopper image and starting to get some success outside of his Belieber fanbase. Because of Justin's history it is going to be a process for him to gain respect. Not to mention that there are probably many who still think his two nominations in 2011 were unearned and undeserved. One step at a time, Braun. I would hope Usher is giving Justin a pat on the back and the standard "Don't worry about it, you'll get 'em next time" speech to balance out Scooter having hissy fits in the middle of the Grammy mall. @nicki, I feel like the main reason she wasn't nominated is because of her personality? Sure, her record isn't up to the standards, but there are a bunch of records nominated that I wouldn't have guessed would be, as well. Since this is an industry voting thing, and from what I've read, Nicki has been cutting all her connections, I see it as the potential reason for her not to be nominated at anything. Oh yeah, by "not substantial enough to hang with the big contenders" I was also thinking overall clout and not so much actual merit. I agree, there are always nominations that seem out of place, but with Nicki it feels like she's been burning some bridges this year and it's done her no favors, especially in rap, where her best chances of getting any nominations were. As for pop I think it is a combination of her hits not being huge smashes and her not having politicking favor on her side. I keep forgetting about the mentions that Gotye didn't submit to some categories and almost considered not submitting to others. I've read a couple of his interviews and it's obvious that he really isn't into the overwhelming success or huge fuss that comes with fame, and he probably feels that the Grammys are just another part of that. I'm becoming inclined to stop considering him a major contender b/c if this is how he feels just about being nominated then he definitely won't be trying to get votes together for a win, whereas other artists and their teams will be.

I watched this yesterday thinking Pulse must be having a breakdown especially in the BNA and Album of The Year The closest thing to a diva Brittany Howard from Alabama Shakes. It would have been nice if Ceremonials would have gotten into AOTY, and Lana getting in somewhere but eh. And Taylor in Record of the Year is a f**king joke.

Is Scooter Braun's recent Twitter episode likely to harm Carly Rae Jepsen's chances with the voters?

Speaking of the Grammys, whatever happened with the story from earlier in the year about Chris Brown bribing the producer of the telecast to win his last time? Was it ever substantiated?

GRAMMY WHAMMY: CBS’ The Grammy Nominations Concert Live!!, which aired from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena for the first time, finished last in its time slot with a 1.5/4 share for persons 18-40 and an audience of 5.4 million. That total represented a 21% drop from a year ago. The show landed behind both NBC’s Chicago Fire (1.9/5/7.2m) and ABC’s Nashville (1.9/5.9m). (12/7p)
Seeing as this year's audience of 40 million was because of 2 major reasons (Whitney & Adele), I guess just over 20 million is something they can wish for 2013.

I throught Carly Rae Jepsen stood a chance for the Best New Artist nomination.She looked to be lock for a nomination for this award. At least she has two other nominations to make up for it.

I don't think anyone was expecting Lana Del Rey to get a nomination. I think Cher LLoyd had more of a chance than she did. Comparing CRJ to Lana is laughable. CRJ can sing live much better than Lana.

CRJ can sing live much better than Lana. are u sure? Hey my fave T.Swift has 3 nominations.As a fan,I'm happy about that. As for Lana Del Rey and her "Music". I think her awful SNL performances killed any chance of a nomination for her. Maybe she could try out for "Twilight" spinoff movies.

I think this is going to be a particularly difficult awards to predict. Lots of close competition and lesser-known nominees.

here are my grammy predictions.
ROTT
i think this is a three way race between Fun, Gotye and Kelly Clarkson. Fun and KC are in both ROTT and SOTT so they are the frontrunners, but you gotta throw Gotye in there bc he didnt submit to SOTT. So 3 way race. I think Fun and Gotye will split and i think Kelly Clarksonw ill actually win this award.
SOTY
without having to compete and split votes with Goyte, i think Fun will definatly win this award.
AOTY
I think they will either award Mumford and Suns or Frank Ocean
BNA
i dont think Fun will win this. I think Frank Ocean will definatly win. Hunter Hayes could get enough of the country voters to take it but doubtful.
Best Pop Solo
I dont see how Kelly could lose. She got general field nominations (i know sometimes the person who didnt get GF nominations can win ex: kellys past grammys). but i think she has this.
Best POP DUO GROUP
again i think Goyte and Fun are going to split votes. giving the award to either Florance or Maroon 5.
Pop Vocal Album
to me this is the toughest award. i guess I would put my money on Fun (bc they got AOTY nod) but sometimes that doesnt equal a win in the smaller catergory. I wouldnt be surprised to hear anyones name called here.
those are really the only ones i can predict bc i dont keep up with the other music. but i did notice BRANDY is nowhere to be found. i thought she had an R&B comeback year....

^Brandy's album was released after the eligibility period. She would be considered for the 2014 Grammys. Although unfortunately, I think her album will probably be forgotten by then :( That is the disadvantage of releasing an album in the fourth quarter. Of course, not all 4th quarter albums get forgotten, but typically you have to have to have a huge era, be an immensely popular artist, or be a Grammy darling for that to work in your favor.
"Put It Down" would have qualified for the song/performance categories this year, but there were a lot of good r&b songs this year and so it does not surprise nor particularly disappoint me that PID didn't get any nominations.

Below is what I think would be the ideal ceremony...
Alabam Shakes, The Black Keys & Jack White (could be a killer combination, and they're all general-field nominees) Kelly Clarkson ("People Like Us") Drake w/ The Weeknd (Moody R&B mash-up of Crew Love/Marvin's Room/Wicked Games/House of Balloons) Florence + The Machine fun. Gotye w/ Kimbra (I know we've heard this one a lot but they always sound great live on this track) Hunter Hayes (maybe a duet w/ Carrie Underwood?) Carly Rae Jepsen (I only list her because I think general nominees should perform but...I'd rather not) The Lumineers Miguel Mumford & Sons Frank Ocean Taylor Swift w/ Ed Sheeran Kanye West/G.O.O.D. Music (Mercy/Clique...or just new solo Kanye if it exists)
Album of the Year (Frank Ocean) Record of the Year (Gotye & Kimbra) Song of the Year (fun.) Best New Artist (Frank Ocean) Best Pop Solo Performance (Kelly Clarkson) Best Rock Album (The Black Keys) Best Alternative Music Album (Gotye or Fiona Apple) Best R&B Performance (Miguel) Best Rap Song (Jay-Z & Kanye West) Best Rap Album (Drake) Best Country Album (Miranda Lambert)

Any theories as to how Frank Ocean missed out on R&B Performance and R&B Song?
How did 6 singles make it in ROTY with the blue ribbon panel?
And can someone explain why they have Best Christian/Gospel Performance (i.e. a combined category) but then have separate categories for Song and Album?
