Vedo che Jennifer Hudson ha un bel pò di Nomination…
Spero porti a casa un sacco di statuette perchè è giusto che sia così!
buon natale a tt grnd riri !!!!!!!!!! dai ke spakki tt vinci tu nll categoria best dance , devi preoccuparti solo 1 pò x give it to me anke se fa molto skifo quella canzone io nn la sopporto + ogni vlt ke la sento mi viene 1 attakko d nervoso give it to me yeah ma kee oh ? w ririii xò nn so se vinci tu in qll altra cn if i never see your face again xkè è sempre combattuta cn madonna e justin vabbè dai si vedrà !!! t prg nn deludermi cn l’album !! rimani a fr il tuo buon R&B lascia perdere il techno e il punk t prg nn m deludereeeeeee !!!!!1
Anche io mi trovo molto in disappunto sulle nomination come dice il commento qui fatto in inglese…perché non elogiare un po Alicia che con As I Am ha fatto 1 lavoro stupendo, e mettere le mani avanti sul lavoro di Beyoncé(che adoro) facendolo pero sembrare un miracolo della musica…la cosa che mi ha scioccato di più è vedere come best performance Me,Myself&I…beh con tante cosa piu nuove e fresche in circolazione si poteva trovare qualcos’altro, ad esempio si poteva benissimo trovare un giusto rimpiazzo nell’album di Mariah(che ci ha abituati a performance straordinarie) che con le vendite non è andato come si sperava, ma qui non si parlava di vera musica a prescindere dalle copie vendute e dalla pubblicità che un artista si fa?
Questi grammy mi danno l’idea di velare un qualche tentativo di promuovere gli artisti che vanno di più per farli vendere ancora di piu, fortunatamente non a discapito delle nuove reclute(Jazmine Sullivan,Duffy,Adele)…fortunatamente ho visto artisti nuovi e sopratutto meritevoli tra le varie nomination…
I grammy romangono come dice Junkie…la piu importante e prestigiosa(e pubblicizzante aggiungerei) cerimonia di premiazione della VERA musica, quella che conta!!!
forse, pikkolo, ti sfugge una cosa: che non si premiano gli album in quella categoria, ma le singole performance vocali in singole canzoni. Sarebbe bello se Bee vincesse quella categoria perchè nessuno è al suo livello dal vivo, tantomeno Mariah (negli ultimi anni poi…). Quindi è inutile che gridi allo scandalo.
Nessuno ai Grammy ama particolarmente Bee su altre artiste, si vede che hanno ritenuto quella sua performance meritevole di una nomination. E infatti lo è, perchè è fantasiosa, musicalmente molto interessante, piena di soul, vocalmente notevole.
L’hai vista?
Per chiunque conosce l’inglese….
Another year, and more weird Grammy nominations from left field. You can count on it as a definite right up there with death and taxes. The big disaster: all but total snub of Alicia Keys’s album, “As I Am”. It should have been in Best Album, Song and Record. Instead, Keys was relegated to Best R&B album, R&B vocal performance by a female, and her duet with the ubiquitous darling of the awards, John Mayer. That the Grammys chose to snub Keys – maybe the leading performer/writer of her generation – speaks volumes.
Second big disaster: not a single nomination for Mariah Carey or anything from her “E=MC2″ album. Not even a throwaway nod in R&B. Just an outright, across the board snub. What’s worse: they put Carey through the agony of participating in the Grammy live telecast last night and then giving her nothing!
Only two nominations, and minor ones, for Madonna for her Hard Candy album. Strange nominations: tracks from Paul McCartney and Beyonce each came from unofficial albums, or side releases that are generally unavailable or unknown. In fact, the McCartney nomination is for a live version of his song “That Was Me”, taken from a limited edition twelve inch vinyl release of four songs from his promotional performance at Amoeba Records in Hollywood.
What? Is this the bootleg Grammy show? McCartney released a very good album called Memory Almost Full including that song, that got nothing otherwise. Or how about the Best Song nomination for a track by unknown singer Estelle and Kanye West? There are seven collaborators listed. The “song” also includes three samples. Best Dance Record maybe. But Best Song? I’m not convinced the judges on this panel knew what constituted a song. It’s very disappointing because they had many other better choices, and ignored them.
Of course, the big money is on Coldplay to just sweep everything and call it a day. Their album and title track, “Viva La Vida”, is the equivalent of U2 from a couple of years ago. And the value added of Coldplay wife Gwyneth Paltrow in the audience, being thanked by Chris Martin, etc. is incentive enough for the Grammy telecast.
Then there is the annual Kanye kerfuffle. He sampled a Daft Punk track called “Harder Better Stronger Faster” for his own track, called “Stronger” on his 2007 album, “Graduation”. That album was released in September 2007 and was eligible for last year’s Grammys. However: this year, the original Daft Punk track is nominated for Best Instrumental. According to amazon.com it was released on December 4, 2007 and was discontinued. It’s not available except maybe on a downloading service.
And there’s more. Beyonce is nominated for a track called “Me Myself I”. It wasn’t a single and it’s not from an album. It’s from the ITunes audio version of a DVD live concert called The Beyonce Experience. Again, are there are any rules anymore, or is this just a way to make sure Beyonce is on the show?
Of course, there may be more to the snubs than meet the eye. In the cases of Alicia Keys and Mariah Carey, it could be a punishment for appearing on the American Music Awards last month, and accepting awards from them. There has long been an unwritten rule that if an artist did anything with the AMAs, owned by Dick Clark Productions and considered a minor rival, the Grammys wouldn’t allow you on their show.
What happened on the AMA’s: Keys won two “favorite album” awards there, and performed the show ending blockbuster, her “Superwoman”, with Queen Latifah and opera diva Kathleen Battle. Carey took home an honorary lifetime award and sang the hell out of “I Stay in Love”. Next time they’ll know better. I guess.
category1: PAPER PLANES!!
category4: Jazmine!!
category13:ROBYN!!
Wow!
Spero che Bee vinca nella sua categoria, anche se Alicia è una grande…sarà difficile, cmq una sfida tra talenti.
Non male le nomination…ma Mariah???
sono contentissima per le 4 nomination di jennifer hudson,spero che vinca almeno un premio,stessa cosa vale per ne yo,e per i coldplay,che mi auguro possano trionfare in maniera eclatante.
Mancano sicuramente dei grandissimi nomi, ma sono contento per i Coldplay, Adele, Jazmine, Jennifer e alcune nominations interessanti qua e là!
Mi sembrano piuttosto….innovativi direi sti Grammy, un po’ fuori dai soliti canoni, più giovani oserei, e forse è per questo che siamo un po’ spiazzati da alcune assenze.
Sono contentissimo che l’artista con più nominations della serata sia un rapper, anche se sinceramente ho la sensazione che Lil’ Wayne inizi ad essere sopravvalutato… Comunque sia, grande Weezy ovviamente!!
Contentissimo poi delle 6 nominations a Jay-Z, Kanye e Ne-Yo! Complimenti anche ai Coldplay che meritano le loro 7 nominations!
Quest’anno non vedo davvero l’ora di vedere i Grammys, è pieno di nominees interessanti!!!
Comunque sono pienamente d’accordo con Junkie, questi sono ormai gli unici awards seri e che contano veramente qualcosa…
grande weezy !! è il fenomeno dell’anno…
anche i coldplay meritano !!
Contentissimo per le nomination a Leona!
Bene anche i Coldplay, Ne-Yo, Jazmine.
cmq x quanto riguarda britney nn è strano se fosse stata nominata.. xk fino ad ora ha avuto 6 nominations + 1 vittoria di toxic…
Cioè se i Jonas Brothers vincono un Grammy credo che mi suiciderò.
Che tristezza.
si concordo…nominations davvero terribili qst anno
nn sn ttt le nomination…incredibile weezy nominato nella categoria album of the year O__O stupendo!!!
addirittura i jonas brothers, jasmine sullivan e lady gaga hanno una nomination ai grammy??!…wow
Hai mai sentito il disco di Jazmine??
Ah ma tu sei quello che elogia le PCD??
Ecco..
cmq x la cronaca Mariah ha una nomination nella categoria gospel x la canzone
“I Understand” assieme a Kim Burrell, Rance Allen, Bebe Winans, Mariah Carey & Hezekiah Walker’s Love Fellowship Tabernacle Church Choir
meglio di niente ^^
si ,ci mancherebbe pure che le avesero dato il best r&b,o tanto più il record of the year,sicuramtne non vincera nemmeno l’unica nomination che ha ricevuto,artisticamente non e stato il suo anno, un’album scarso,e singoli penosi,si rifarà fra qualche anno,ma ora e tempo per altri artisti più meritevoli.
Uff.. La Chris quest’ anno quota 0 nomineeeeees.. Peccato!!:(
che bello è stata nominata leona *___* sarà lei a vincere nelle categorie assegnate *___*
Son davvero contento per queste nominations.. Questa è davvero bella musica!
Devo dire che i due artisti più attesi dell’anno (apparte Coldplay, Beyonce e K. West), Mariah e Usher son stati davvero ignorati! Non mi aspettavo 5-6 nomination come ai passati grammy, ma per lo meno 3 nomination si.. Cmq per il resto son d’accordo! Inoltre vorrei dare una preferenza per le categorie piu vicine a questo blog:
record of the year: M.I.A. tutta la vita
album of the year: Coldplay
song of the…: I’m yours (anche se son combattutto con Viva la vida)

Ormai i grammy cosi come gli oscar sn diventati una pagliacciata…tra l’altro snobbati da tutta l’america l’anno scorso e figuriamoci quest’anno…non hanno piu l’importanza di una volta adesso è solo una tradizione portata avanti in qualke modo…prima era un evento!! anke questa è andata….!!
Stai parlando forse degli MTV Awards?
Guarda che vittorie ai Grammy significa che le vendite degli album vincitori tornano a salire alle stelle.. non mi risulta che questo effetto lo faccia anche uno qualsiasi degli altri Awards! (guarda un nome a caso di qualche anno fa.. Norah Jones… o ancora le Dixie Chicks)
Tu parli veramente da carampana, attieniti a fare i commenti da carampana …
Ma ancora non lo banni??
Non avrei tollerato nomination a Britney, questi sono premi seri, non quelli di MTV, votati da teenager brufolosi; detto questo abbastanza giuste le nomination, peccato per Beyoncé, il suo album urla Grammy ad ogni nota, ma sono sicuro fara’ il pieno di nods l’anno prossimo, darei tutte le categorie in cui e’ nominata a Jazmine Sullivan, merita sul serio, ai Coldplay, assurdo Album Of The Year per NeYo, il resto mi interessa poco; Beyoncé nominata per MM&UI mi sembra un po’ una forzatura, ma sicuramente la vincera’ dato che quella performance e’ semplicemente GRANDIOSA.
non essere troppo certo, io credo che se la meriti (o lei o Alicia), ma se decideranno di lanciare grammy dietro al debutto discografico dalla mediocre riuscita di Jennifer Hudson, le daranno anche questo premio…
Lady GaGa nominataaa *_*
best dance tifo assolutamente x rihanna !!!!!!! poi sarei felice ke vincessero anche i metallica !!!!!!
mi aggiungo a te ovviamente x tifare la nostra adorata riri!!
poi sxero vincano qlcsa anke il grande neyo e bee k meritano tanto!! poi anke i coldplay e i metallica..
Secondo me Rihanna avrà + difficoltà a vincere nella categoria in cui c’è if I Never See Your Face Again che in qll cn Disturbia.
L’unica ke le puo dare fastidio è Lady GaGa, ma vincerà RiRi :Q___
Molto interessanti i grammy di quest’anno,spero che adele vinca io ogni categoria,è sicuramente l’artista dell’anno!x record of the year assolutamente paper planes,m.i.a. meriterebbe molte + nominations..e ovviamente spero che la regina porti a casa l’ennesimo grammy x me myself and i….
oppure…Erykah Badu???
Io su beyonce world ho visto che la bee oltre che per me myself and i è candidata anche per if i were a boy e singles ladies.
P.S spero che nella categoria dance vinca madonna con give it 2 me meritaaaaaaa
Anche io sono d’accordo sul fatto che è facile vinca molti premi la hudson…
Inoltre sono contento per le nomination dei Coldplay e della Sulliva…meritano proprio.
Junkie,perchè non posti le esibizioni del concerto per i grammy di ieri?*_*
ok…mente aperta…Mariah???????? o Janet??????????????????? significa proprio carriera finita per Janet se manco i Grammy se la cagano più..
Ma le categorie hip-hop dove sono?
hei non prendere per il culo buffone…pieces of me nella categoria dance meritava
guarda ke britney ha già vinto + di quanto si meritasse…..campando sul fatto ke nn era + psicopatica quindi….
Non prendo in giro. Ma apri la tua mente.. Britney ha già vinto troppo agli MTV awards, questi sono premi di vera musica.
..c’è ma che fa scherzi..qui non parliamo degli awards ma dei grammy,se pensavi di trovarci Britney Spears in chissà quante nomination,sbagli.Piece of me tra l’altro ha una coreografia pessima,basta che sopra il titolo c’è scritto Britney Spears e l’obbiettiviva va a farsi benedire.
Britney era entrata nelle liste da cui sarebbero state scelte le nomination,infatti la Jive Record aveva proposto Blackout da inserire nelle nomination x Album Of The Year,poi aveva proposto GimmeMore per Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
Quindi Piece Of Me nn centra nulla!!!
Ma…Mariah?? e Britney???
Ceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerto! BRITNEY?!?
AAHAHHAHAAH
Matt… qua parliamo di un minimo di qualità eh… Cioè Britney nn c’ azzecca proprio!
sono convinto ke saranno all’insegna di jennifer hudson,soprattutto considerando quello ke le è successo
spero trionfino i coldplay e la sullivan,se lo meritano proprio…
Cosa c’entrano gli effetti!?!?!? io parlo a livello di interesse …infatti gli ascolti di questa cerimonia sono crollati ai livelli dei telefilm americani ….ormai non interessano piu come prima! in america sono mooolto piu avanti ormai vanno oltre a queste pseudo-cerimonie!
ale tu sei l’emblema di quanto dice junkie e parli proprio tu?evita…
Andres!!!! Dove ti eri cacciato?? Ciau Niciozza!! Che bello sisentirvi! Allora? Come state? Che mi raccontate? Devo rileggere meglio le nomination, ma sono abbastanza soddisfatta finora. Che combina al Riri? Ho letto il post dell acòassifica americana…. mi disp! Ma vedremo che succederà….. Rx!!
ciao number 29…non ti preoccupare x rihanna…stavano da tanto al 1 posto lei e T.I…..era anche ora che lasciassero il posto a qualkun altro…cmq di riri nessuna novità in particolare…soltanto che il video rehab sta salendo sempre di + in classifica !!!!!!! =) ci sentiamo ciaoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
