For the full list of nominations, check out the official Grammy website.
Hell Yeahhh Lady Gaga For best song! She better be nominated more !
this web site sucks! bring back the old idolator! no one cares about the grammys except stupid people
“I’m On A Boat”-Best Rap Collaboration Grammy nominee. Nuff said.
No one cares about the Grammys except stupid people? Sure, there are some stupid nominations, but they are kind of a big deal. And as for the old idolator, Maura was tweeting about the Grammys all night.
I hope “I’m on a Boat” wins!
@t.rex, @will: If ‘I’m On A Boat’ beats out Jay-Z and wins, it’ll be the hands-down greatest moment in the history of recorded music.
The grammys are a fucken joke period. As for Taylor Swift girlfriend cannot sing i would rather listern to junkie amy winehouse on a worst day. Most people dont even know her music. Kanye West what have you done? On beyonce that occultic stupid album ties with a classic and timeless album which is still superior than anything out there (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill). Can somebody tell me what is going on with music nowadays?
“I gotta FUCKING feeling”!! Best Record?!! are u kidding me? i can understand dat every moron likes dat song but now its getting awards? siriusly its obvious dat they’re just trying to please the masses this time…
I mean come on!
Oh Kanye…my dear dear Kanye…please don’t take this personally. Your nipples are more talented than Taylor Swift is. Just know, these are sympathy nominations she’s getting. You have trancended and her lyrics sound like they were written by a 5 year old.
Anyways, Beyonce is my queeeeeeen. I hope she takes home a few.
I hope Drake takes one too.
Lady Gaga WILL take one.
U2 gets nominated three times for a garbage album? they must have the committee in their back pockets.
I’m on a Boat should definitely be song of the year!
lolo said everything!
Easily the worst list of nominees ever. It’s like they went from “out of touch with anyone under 60″ to “out of touch with anyone with an IQ over 60.” Truly disturbing.
I hope this encourages Taylor Swift to take some singing lessons, though.
Clearly the Grammy folks didn’t even listen to some of the songs they nominated. Any one who has heard the Willie Nelson/Norah Jones version of “Baby, It’s Cold Outside” and didn’t throw up a little in his/her mouth is either fucking someone significantly older/younger or is Hugh Hefner. Seriously, it’s gross.
Im on a boat.
Robbie, are you sure that would be the greatest moment in the history of recorded music? Better than “My Humps” beating out Death Cab’s “I Will Follow You Into The Dark”?
U2 – No Line On the Horizon is their best since Achtung baby. Critics agree but it’s not popular enough to get the big nominations. Still the best selling rock album of the year worldwide.
this list proves what a dismal state music is in. time for a revolution… and maybe some actual TALENT ??
Thanks for such a nice music information, nominations are liked by many fans of actors.
Love Song Lyrics
u r rite lady ga ga ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Those metal nominees are amazing :o Dissident Aggressor!?! Thats a really really old song (1977 to be exact) but never put out a live recording of the tune till now. I really hope Megadeth wins though – Headcrusher, and the rest of the Endgame album for that matter, was the most inspired-sounding orgy of musicianship Ive heard in a very long time!
You must search beyond the realms of mainstream media, my friend. For many years the music biz has been split into 2 categories – Music and Business. These awards represent the latter, except one category (do they even air the metal performance one on tv?)
Theres so much great music to be heard – you just have to search a bit.
GO CARRIE UNDERWOOD. SHE MUST WIN AN AWARD. if taylor swfit takes all the awards i will be pissed.
This is the worst hip hop nomination ive ever seen!!
No one has even heard of half theses songs!! And the ones people have heard of are from 2008!!!! WTF!!! Catch up PLZ!!!!!
yeah! but the grammys have a history of screwing things up, like the time they chose Will Smith over B.I.G.
maaaaan, there are like 10 times when they've majorly screwed up: http://mog.com/MOG_Features/blog/1731195
We actually discuss that in our Grammy's Worst Calls gallery. You should check it out: http://idolator.com/5377552/photos-grammys-wors...
UR RIGHT!!!!! WHY WASN'T OWL CITY NOMINATED!!!!! GRrrrrrrrrrrr………….
GGGrrrah can't these people see that Fireflies was the best song this whole FREAKING year?????? What the hell.
lady gaga should have walked the f**k out thats bullshit she should have gotten that grammy not hatein on taylor swift but what the hell were they thinking gaga has gone over the top and proven herself over and over and over again
