Im so pissed right now...

ALICIA, MARIAH & Madonna: GRAMMY SNUBBED

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!

...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.

Certain people are just Grammy favorites, while others are not at all. The Alicia Keys snub is the only shock out of those to me. While I'm not a fan, she's usually a huge Grammy favorite. For whatever reason, Mariah isn't, which is stupid, but that's how it is. It was just that Mimi was so massive that they had to give it recognition. But to only have 5 Grammy's out of her entire career is insane.

Screw the Grammy's!

EmoJoe · 12-05-2008, 04:50 PM

THE JONAS BROTHERS? really?

Superstar · 12-05-2008, 04:57 PM

I'm really glad that Duffy is nominated, but it's a little bit of a joke when the Jonas Brothers get nods lol.

TJL · 12-05-2008, 08:38 PM

Kanye West must be pissed. He wasn't nominated for Best Artist Ever To Make Music?

MickeyMac · 12-05-2008, 08:43 PM

Frankly I dont pay attention to the grammys or other award shows, but Felix Caliverie and Steve Cropper got a nomination for best instrumental. They should also get lifetime achivement awards too.
