Here are the nominees www.grammy.com/latin/9_latin/#00Thoughts: - Cafe Tacuba!! :o  - I'm glad Juanes was put into Pop now. - Panda nominated again? And for a live album? Another filler spot for them.  - Was Thalia eligible this year? - No Luis Miguel? LMAO - What about that Amandititita girl? Too much of a novelty I guess. - Molotov better win Music Video for "Yofo". |

Thalia's LUNADA released near the end of the deadline, June 24,2008.. The deadline's June 30,2008.. Yes, why Luismi wasn't nominated, Luisfo too (No Me Doy.. simultaneously released with Thalia's Lunada), and even Thalia.. Thalia's a strong contender for Alejandra Guzman's Fuerza.. Tommy Mottola magic never worked in LG 2008?? Just joking...
In my opinion, it's clear for me that COMMERCIAL VALUE is one of the criteria that an artist should be nominated in a Grammy category.. Thalia and Luismi's albums didn't created fuzz in the USA market, (*never seen or heard them promote their recent albums in radio or TV*) thus, they weren't nominated..
Obviously, together with kinglouiexviii, i'm an ardent Thalia fan (*wanting that her glory decade in the '90s to be continued in this generation*) but i'm really disappointed that she "take her musical career for granted". She has time for releasing a new perfume and baby clothing line but she do nothing for her Lunada. Thanks for a Daddy Yankee collaboration, her debut single from her sabbatical help her squeezed out to the bottom of the charts. But, did she learned from her Anglo album and Sexto Sentido mistakes?? Obviously NOT. She really have it all (Talent, Brains, Beauty and MONEY-check!!) but with an idle promotion, sorry to say this, better be a good mom to Sabrina and take care of your business empire..

- Was Thalia eligible this year? - No Luis Miguel?
Yes, Thalia released her album one week before the dateline for elegibility for this year's Latin Grammy's. She and Emi Latin dropped the ball: big time! If they would have promoted the album more and given a couple of concerts, it would undoubtedly have been nominated. The Latin Academy likes her (as much as they can like a mainstream pop artist). I mean they nominated her Exitos Con Banda album!!!
:o
Yes, I too was surprised that Luis Miguel wasn't nominated. The Academy worships him, but I agree with Mark; neither of these albums created much buzz. Though in the current music marketplace, what artist actually does. Recent releases by super acts like Coldplay, Usher, and Madonna fell flat. The Latin scene is doing any better. It's been an awful year for cd and music sales.

I only watched some of it. It was kinda boring and the big collaboration at the end with Juanes, Rosario, Belinda, Jeremias, and those others was so cheesy.
I can't believe Juanes won Record and Song of the year for one of his worst singles. Yuck, I hate sweeps like these.
Who is this Kany Garcia girl?
Belanova won like I thought. Their speech wasn't aired though.

You know you're in trouble when Belinda is the best part. All the performers looked bored to death. I didn't watch the show, but I looked up some of the performances on YouTube. They were all pretty dissappointing. Cafe Tacvba put me to sleep; so did Julieta Venegas. They're both so good live, but for some reason when they perform on live television they suck major a**. Juanes & John Legend was a snoozefest, and don't get me started on Flex & Belinda: atrocious! The one I liked best was La Guzman. I'm she sang live even though she was off key a couple of times.  |
