I'm surprised that Laura Izibor was not nominated for anything at all.
Her music is fresh and transcends many music-listener demographics.
I'm a saddened fan of feel-good music. Somebody please help me put
Ms. Izibor out there.

I believe the first requirement of the Grammy’s is that one is able to sing. That would certainly eliminate voiceless Taylor Swift.

Where the fucking fucknuts is MGMT?

It says on their Facebook page they’ve been nominated for “Best New Group” and “Best Song by a Duo” for “Kids”.

It's good to see the Grammys sort of getting it right with the nominations in most categories. and I'm actually excited about the show tonight. But I still have a hard time with their "recording calendar year and voting systems." The music industry moves so fast these days that albums like Lupe Fiasco's the Cool which was release last year, is now just getting on their rap AOTY. If it's possible, the recording industry has to come up with a system that works with the speed of the days. if they did it might actually help sales.

Oh, and the whole MIA giving birth situation is a nice way to boost ratings, too..whether it was intended or not.

If Coldplay wins a single grammy for the song viva la vida i will be very shocked and disappointed.. Joe Satriani deserves that grammy for writing the song “If I Could Fly” 5 years ago that coldplay crudely and poorly ripped off and called viva la vida.

I hope Metallica gets the Best Rock Album!

I am doing a project in my Music class about the Grammys.

I think Leona Lewis will get Best Female Pop Performance.

We had to pick 3 categories for the project...The last one i chose was Best Soundtrack. I hope Sweeney Todd wins! I absolutly LOVED that movie and all of it's songs. Well...minus the song Alan Rickman and Timothy Spall sang. That just weirded me out. And the Joanna song bugged me as well. That is just my opinion though. ^.^

hmmm it is a shame about MGMT not receiving noms. I totally agree they should be there instead of Gnarles B.. On a happier note, finally some recognition for Kings of Leon!!!!! Though, I would have put them in the Alternative category but whatever. 3 noms is awesome! They have had so much more success in the UK then in the states which is sad since they are homegrown out of Tennessee! Even if they don’t win, I am just glad to see them get some recognition!

For anyone (including myself) that thought these noms were interesting...
Here is some perspective:

Katy Perry got a nom
Santogold didn't get a nom

The Grammys are still the Grannys.
And they blow.

If you get nominated for AOTY, does that mean you get the Best [genre] Album by default? Like won't Radiohead and Lil Wayne get best alternative and rap albums because they're the only ones in their respective categories to be good enough for an AOTY nom?

Am I expecting too much logic from the Grammys?

@antistar2000: what was missing? i'm just curious.

@doctaj: the grammy committee probably had trouble categorizing m.i.a. as a "rapper", in their minds

In true Grammy tradition, they always like to have familiar faces in the nominations. That would explain all the Gnarls. Overall pretty pathetic, although I expected the Plant/Krauss album to be in the running. They pretty much ignored all the great year end best of lists we’ve seen.

now, as far as i can tell, the ONE female MC on the list is not nominated in a rap category? hmmmm….

Sorry, are you sure these are accurate? I don’t see “Let Me Smell Yo Dick” on there anywhere.

@Maura Johnston: Don't matter, Erykah Badu's got it in the bag.

I audibly gasped when I saw Robyn got nominated. I'm a little ticked that "Closer" didn't get a Record nomination, but that's just personal fandom. Radiohead is going to get AOTY ("In Rainbows" is their "The Departed"), otherwise it's going to go to Allison Kraus (Grammy bait, but I've heard it's very good).

Do you think they'll actually show up, or will they save carbon and go live via satellite?

So many obvious omissions I don’t even know where to begin, but I am only genuinely insulted that Hercules & Love Affair’s “Blind” didn’t receive a nomination for best dance recording.

YAY for M.I.A. and Radiohead. Adele’s 4 noms is brilliant – loved 19. I’m actually surprised the Academy didn’t eat up Arular in 2005 though, or even Kala last year. Leona will probably win ROTY.
