Yep, still no reason to watch the Gammys.

Thanks for confirmation.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

Ugh.

Quick question: was Magic released after the nomination cutoff? Just wondering.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

You don't want to watch Amy Winehouse pass out in the middle of her acceptance speech?

 

[phanan]

Wow, Springsteen didn't even get a nomination this time for Album Of The Year.

 

[Lancemc]

You don't want to watch Amy Winehouse pass out in the middle of her acceptance speech?

I'll catch it on youtube, duh.

 

[joyfulgirl]

Yep, still no reason to watch the Gammys.

Thanks for confirmation.

Really. If it's not the most dreadful list I've ever seen, it's way up there.

 

[phanan]

Ugh.

Quick question: was Magic released after the nomination cutoff? Just wondering.

As I understand it, the vinyl was released a week earlier than the CD so that it qualified for the Grammy award nominations this year.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

I'll catch it on youtube, duh.

fair enough... There's something to be said about watching a train wreck in real time though...

I hope Vince Gill wins, that guy needs to win more awards imo...

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

As I understand it, the vinyl was released a week earlier than the CD so that it qualified for the Grammy award nominations this year.

And nothing?

That's disappointing.

Meanwhile I think three people have picked up the Foos new release and it's nominated. Just another reason why the Grammys don't make any sense.

 

[phanan]

In a surprise, Bruce Springsteen -- whose critically praised "Magic" was expected to do well -- didn't get an album of the year nomination.

He got four nominations in the lesser rock categories.

He was robbed in 2002, he was robbed in 1984, and now he can't even get a nomination.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

Wow, Springsteen didn't even get a nomination this time for Album Of The Year.

I didn't even think of that. He's too "old" I guess, and Hey Delilah is superior songwriting.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

Just another reason why the Grammys don't make any sense.

What are you talking about? The Umbrella song was nominated, that’s hip, right?

ella… ellla…

I predict next year Soulja Boy will win Single Of The Year

 

[phanan]

I didn't even think of that. He's too "old" I guess, and Hey Delilah is superior songwriting.

If he had won the award previously, I would've understood it a bit more, but he has never won Album Of The Year. What a joke. I mean, Vince Gill? Come on.

 

[MrsSpringsteen]

It must be cause he's a Communist

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

I predict next year Soulja Boy will win Single Of The Year

mark my words... i will forever boycott the grammys if that happens.

 

[u2popmofo]

Yes, Feist is a new artist. This is her second solo album. She's been in a band since the beginning of the decade, but people who saw the iTunes commercial didn't know who she was so she must be new!

Herbie Hancock and Vince Gill. Wow.

 

[elevated_u2_fan]

mark my words... i will forever boycott the grammys if that happens.

Your words have been marked.

 

[LarryMullen's POPAngel]

mark my words... i will forever boycott the grammys if that happens.

I thought you did when the Dixie Chicks won everything last year?

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

they're so brave

 

[babyman]

Time for Foo-Fighters to get it!

 

[u2popmofo]

they're so brave

They're not ready to make nice for completely misinterpreting the demographic of their entire fan base, give them an award....or every award we have to offer!

 

[Headache in a Suitcase]

you'd think that Magic would have been nominated for album of the year, seeing as the academy's a bunch of tree hugging hippies and all. ponderous.

a song about an umbrella is nominated for a song writing award.

equally ponderous.

I bet Delilah wins and there will be mass hysteria on this forum because of it.

Maybe next year.

 

[phanan]

It won't qualify for next year.
