I'm just happy she got nominated at all. I was not expecting anything, especially not an album nom. That's awesome! AIEW is one of the best pop albums I've ever heard. I'm glad to see it get some love :)

AIEW is my favorite album of hers and I am so happy its being recognized. I think a lot of people put Breakaway higher just because of its commerical success. AIEW is superior IMO. Would have liked to see AG in place of HNC but at least now there is no chance of unnecessary drama. Praying (along with Kelly I'm sure) that she'll one day be nominated for song, album or record of the year. 5 noms now right? Love you Kell...

I hope she can pull out would apparently be a surprise victory! And I hope they slap a "Grammy Nominated" sticker on AIEW and start taking advantage! And I hope she performs at the Grammy's! haha i hope alot.

Congratulations to Kelly and Pink for their nominations. I'm happy for both and I honestly don't care who wins. I'm just glad Kelly was recognized at all really.

I think BEPs are gonna be this year's Mariah from 2005/2006. They will win a couple but it wont be the landslide of wins that people expect based on the nominations love. I think Pink is the front runner followed by Kelly followed by BEPs.

Hope Kelly can pull an upset over Pink and BEP. They had better selling albums, especially BEP's huge success this yr. But if even Leona Lewis got snubbed so badly at the last Grammys, I think a win by Kelly is still possible. Well if she gets to perform I will be totally satisfied whether she wins or not Haha. I am always praying that she can do an amazing cover on the Grammys instead of singing her own song, then ppl worldwide can see how freaking amazing she is :)

OMG. I just read the nominations and I'm sorry, but I'm FUMING right now!!!
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad AIEW is nominated for pop vocal album, but Female vocal performance is the one I wanted more. An award for female vocal would have gone just to her, not producers etc. How on earth can Taylor and Katy Perry be nominated if they can't even sing. I just can't believe how everyone is falling for the hype- Swift is TERRIBLE.
You Belong with me - Lyrics of the year? WTF!!! It's the biggest piece of bubblegum teen trash I've ever heard. And Fearless for album of the year? It's soooo samey and I just don't see how a teen album about boys and high school crushes should win. Sorry Taylor fans I just don't like her. ' Ok, so here's my take on pop vocal album: The Fray and Breakthrough by Colbie Caillat got medicore/average reviews, I can't see them winning, tbh. The END could win as BEP have had a huge year. Funhouse too. I think AIEW has a shot, but I don't think it will win.
And,,,, Don't even get me started on all the nominations HALO got! Every single one should say Already Gone instead. I'm sorry, I'm just SO gutted right now.
If Kelly doesn't win pop album, I'm jumping off the nearest building, I swear to blog!

Oh dear. No good. The verses are fine, but that chorus--it just falls totally flat here. It's like the demo voice on karaoke tracks, or really good kids bop. Of all the Kelly songs, I figured this would be one of the easiest to cover and pull off, but I guess I managed to underestimate Kelly a bit. She can really turn an average song and make it much stronger.

I'm trying to follow Kelly's example and stay positive here (I can always go take the negativity to the Grammys thread, but gotta find my asbestos long johns first). I'm more happy for the AIEW nom than upset about the Already Gone snubs, and if I had to choose, I'd prefer she be nominated for the album for a couple of reasons: 1. An album nomination is more prestigious, IMHO, because it recognizes the whole body of work. 2. If she were to win, how cool would it be to have four albums and two of them won the Grammy? I'm sure other artists have a batting average that high, but it's still cool. 3. The album needs the publicity more than AG - the song has gone almost as far as it could, but more people need to buy and hear the album. They should definitely get as much promo mileage out of this as they can. 4. The competition is weaker - neither BEP nor Pink is the kind of awards-show juggernaut that Beyonce or Taylor is. I'm guessing BEP is the favorite because Kelly and Pink have similar appeal and will split some votes, but it's definitely possible that she could win here. 5. I'd love Kelly to be able to perform something other than AG on the show, if she gets a performance slot, and after her performance at the AMAs, I'd think the show organizers would want her there. If she was nominated for AG, she'd probably have to sing it, but maybe she can sing the 4th single instead, or if one isn't out yet just do the title track or something. I'd so love an epic national TV performance of AIEW or IICHY. The downside of being nominated and the show being a few days before she leaves for the world tour is, she'll have to go to Clive's party again. Maybe she can sing Lies and Walking After Midnight and tell the audience she wishes the label would let her record stuff like that ;) PS - the official statement is up on Kelly's website: kellyclarkson.com/?news_id=17504&inc=5

Great quality on her recent Maybe performance
She kills it live.
dbhmr - One of the first things I noticed when I heard MLWSWY is that the song would just be another mediocre pop song without Kelly's vocals. She really sells it and brings it to a completely different level.

I was shocked Kelly didn't receive any other nominations, so I'm really hoping she takes home the album award, 'All I Ever Wanted' is a strong, cohesive work and I think that will be recognized.

I think BEPs are gonna be this year's Mariah from 2005/2006. They will win a couple but it wont be the landslide of wins that people expect based on the nominations love. I think Pink is the front runner followed by Kelly followed by BEPs. Mariah won R&B album and R&B female vocal so that means BEP is winning Pop Album if they are going to be like her. Of the nominees, BEP's is not only the biggest seller of the bunch but also has the biggest hits. No way any of them in that category will beat an AOTY nominee who also has stronger sales. Remember, this is the pop field we are talking about and that's how kelly got her album grammy for breakaway, she was then what BEP's is now. I don't think anyone expects BEP's to win AOTY but POP album, they will snatch it up and FAST and not only are they the front runners, the others might as well stay home, that's how far out in front they are. If I was betting I'd bet on them, any other bet and you're wasting money. There is no logical explanation to think anyone other then BEP's is the front runner.

That may all well be true; it's always an uphill battle to beat sales as a measure of Grammy-worthiness.
Then again, BEP's music sucks. OK, that's my opinion, but I'm not so sure a sufficient number of the Grammy voters won't share it, in which case it would be more a battle between Pink and Kelly. You can't always predict these things.

Wallace I think you're right! Your post made me feel better at the AG snubs. The album is more important. And what with AG being snubbed and Halo being nominated, it would kinda be inappropriate to perform it, so I hope she performs single 4 (If she gets a performance slot!) God how I hope she wins Pop album!!!!

Britney and Kelly should have been nominated for BFPVP instead of Taylor and Katy. I can't believe Kelly, in particular, was snubbed.
I love Taylor, but it's ridiculous that she keeps getting nominated in both pop AND country categories. They need to choose one or the other, because it prevents other deserving artists from receiving nominations.

^I know right? At first I thought it was cool that Taylor was submitting songs to pop, because she's not Country in the slightest. But now I'm kinda pissed, 'cause it means Kelly and other deserving pop vocalists have now been snubbed over someone who can't even sing.

I wouldn't say Taylor can't sing. She doesn't have a great voice, but she sings well enough to fit the style of her songs.
Really she reminds me a lot of Avril, vocally.

^ Vocally, Avril is head and shoulders above Taylor. She has a great voice, whereas Taylor's is just passable.

For the billionth time, the word 'vocal' in the category does not mean that they gave the best vocals on their particular song, it's just to clarify that it's not an instrumental song.

^I still think that to win Female Vocal Performance in any category, you should at least be required to be on key and on pitch. I guess I thought that was implied. lol

I'm just happy she got a nom. Period! Do I think she deserved more? Sure I do but I'm truly happy for the one an if she doesn't win, that's ok too. I just hope that if she loses it's to Pink. ![:d](http://images.proboards.com/cheesy.gif)

Wow- that video clearly illustrates the HUGE gulf between a well-rounded amazing vocalist and a technically good singer. ![:-x](http://images.proboards.com/lipsrsealed.gif) In this 'Glee' cover, the conviction in the voice as well as the strength in the chorus belts is eeriely lost into some robotic Broadway performance. As others have said before me, it goes to show one just how important having amazing vocal richness and vocal expression are on a tune's ultimate sonic aesthetics....
