But does NARAS (Grammy people) really care about sales? I can think of some people off the top of my head that would have been nominated if that was the case. Although that DOES explain Britney's nominations over the years...
IMO Justified only has a handful of good songs. "Cry Me A River" definitely deserved an award, but I don't think the album did.

Genre R&B GRAMMY Category Best Contemporary R&B Album Year 2002 - 45th Annual GRAMMY Awards Title of the Work Ashanti Artist Performing Work Ashanti That's impossible because Ashanti's album came out in April 2002 after the grammy's in 2002.

I'm glad you believe the Grammy committee can think for themselves in determining what's good music as opposed to relying on what a handful of critics and 12 year old girls think. I think that gives the Grammies SO much credibility because, you know, sales charts are THE authority on what's good music. Cuz everyone else likes it, therefore it MUST be good. Good is subjective. The grammy committee is made up of recording experts and what not. Just because everyone likes something doesn't mean you are going to like it. It simply means the majority of the people like it. That's all.

Usher and Kanye West.
I think Alicia Keys is fine. Her album was legitimately good. The others were just overhyped and overplayed.

I agree with you 100% although Kanye deserves it more than usher IMO, I was starting to think i was the only person sick of Usher. The album was by far not one of the best albums released this year, actually not even close. But the fact he had 4 number one singles led everyone to think its the greatest album ever, which i personally dont think it is or even remotly close. Ashantis album was released in 2002, after the grammys. April 2nd same day as tweets if i remember correctly

I was very, very annoyed when Mariah Carey sat in her seat through five or six nominations, without winning a single one for her Daydream album. Not ONE. Disgusting! >:(

The past two years the Grammy website has put up a list of the awards that they are going to televise and then you can print out the list and guess who you think will win. Has anyone seen that on there?
Thanks, Ben

I love how everyone freaks out about the Grammys as if they MATTER. Face it guys, the Grammys are completely worthless. They pluck the face of the year, shower them with trophies, and await the next big thing. It's been like that for years. Christina fans needn't worry. I personally think MANY artists, especially veteran ones, are "over" the Grammys. I can't say I've really FULLY enjoyed any of the Grammy-drenched albums that have been clogging up the program for the last decade. There were some highlights...Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Songs In A Minor, etc...but as far as the others go, like Beyonce, Norah...I'm just pretty indifferent. If that Grammys are gonna chase after mediocrity like that (my opinion ) then I'm glad they're not chasing the albums I truly love.
