John Mayer to Date, Taylor Swift Miley Cyrus Grouse, Jennifer Hudson smile
Taylor Swift Gets Zip—and Other Grammy Surprises. Here we say, John Mayer has a reason to get a date (like he needs one). Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus have a shared reason to grouse. Jennifer Hudson has a reason to smile.
We’ve outlined the top Grammy nominations. Now we’re going to sort through all the Grammy nominations—the noteworthy, the weird, and, yes, the snubs. Here goes:
* Mayer earned his annual ticket to the Grammy party with five nominations, including one for his non-euphemistic duet with Alicia Keys (”Lesson Learned,” up for Best Pop Collaboration With Vocals), and one for his artistic contribution to The Bucket List (”Say,” up for best song written for a movie).
* Swift cohosted the “nominations concert,” watched ex-Joe Jonas and his brothers score a Best New Artist nod—and got nothing. Not a single nomination. (Her just-released album Fearless wasn’t eligible, but some of her earlier released songs were.)
* Like fellow teen Swift, Cyrus didn’t rate any nods for her Breakout hits.
* One day after her estranged brother-in-law was charged with killing three members of her family, Hudson notched three nominations, including one for Best R&B Album for her self-titled debut.
* Hudson’s success helped make for a solid Grammys for American Idol. Fellow alums Jordin Sparks, Fantasia (who dueted with Hudson) and award-favorite Carrie Underwood also represented. Which is good for the show since the likes of Blake Lewis didn’t.
* Tia Carrere—yes, that Tia Carrere—scored as many nominations as Mariah Carey, who can be thankful that the Best Gospel Performance category—she’s up for a group sing-along—saved her from getting zip. (Carrere, the former Wayne’s World vixen, is up for Best Hawaiian Music Album for her collaboration with Daniel Ho.)
* Simon Cowell endorsement or no, Leona Lewis, up for three Grammys overall, failed to crack the Best New Artist field.
* Where was Robin Thicke’s name? Listed in the fine print of Lil Wayne’s Album of the Year nomination. Thicke was one of the producers and mastering engineers. He received no other nominations.
* At a combined 126 years old, Paul McCartney and James Taylor are this year’s Tony Bennetts in the Male Pop Vocal category.
* At 50 years old, Madonna is still the Madonna of the Best Dance Recording category. She’s also up for her collaboration, “4 Minutes,” with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland.
* One last age thing: Mayer is the only under-40 nominee for Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance.
* Kylie Minogue and Cyndi Lauper are both up for Best 1980s Survivor Electronic/Dance Album.
* Wayne Brady did not forget the lyrics to “A Change Is Gonna Come,” up for Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance.

i honestly don’t get how the jonas brothers are even considered as a new best artist. dont they already have 3 full studio albums out? its not like they were/are on indie labels either(Columbia and Hollywood), both were/are major labels. and with their type of music that just makes me wonder why miley cyrus wasnt put up for best new artist either. jobros are basically the male version of miley.
Maybe they are new to the union that makes up the grammy voters? Not sure. That would make them newbies to the grammies, but not newbies to the music scene in general. I know they have many stupid rules, hence why **** Clark started the AMA’s all those years ago.
I’m thinking Taylor Swift didn’t get nominated because there were better people to chose from and she didn’t deserve a nomination. She’s got an okay voice with the help of a recording studio but she’s not a great singer. Luckily for her she’s young, cute, and popular, her manager has done an excellent job marketing her every girls friend. Country music fans eat that up!!
I don’t know who Taylor Swift is either, but from looking at the picture, she has that “Jada Pinkett-Smith countenance of sitting on a pedestal where the rest of the world better acknowledge me, for I am Mrs. Will Smith and I will play that down so the rest of you will envy me even more.” Sorry, gotta call it like I see it.
Taylor Swift butchered the Brenda Lee song and how dare her go into that Joe Jonas stab at the end of the song. The ONLY reason she was even singing that classic is because Carrie Underwood was on tour. Carrie can sing any classic and do it justice. Taylor should never get a grammy for her vocals. She sounds horrible live. She is just a marketing sensation. Carrie is a talented artist and proven it time and time again.
Regardless is you think Taylor Swift has talent or not. Im sure she is laughing all the way to the bank. She should get a grammy for setting such an outstanding role models for young women. How can someone not know who Taylor Swift is? She is on every other show, magazine cover and hits country and pop stations What planet are these people on?
first of all taylor swift is way more talented than the jonas brothers. its that simple, she writes or co writes her songs, and sings better. the only jonas who is really talented is nick, the others just stand there and look good. as for taylors singing voice, i don’t know what you have been listening to, but she sounds pretty decent live.if the grammys are give for best voice, jennifer hudson and carrie should win every year. but they don’t write their songs, they barely play instruments, all of which taylor does, so i think its a little unfair
Taylor Swift sucks- and gave the worst performance of the night lasst night. she butchered that Brenda Lee song- and then cut it off to shamelessly promote her own crummy song.There is no snub here- Taylor cannot sing and does not deserve any grammy nominations. Ever. The Grammy voters have a clue– which is why they only nominated the BEST SINGERS, who deserved it.Carrie Underwood, Trisha Yearwood, Martina, Leanne Rimes, and Leanne Womak, all deserved nominations because the category is Female Vocal Performance, not most popular myspace tween.
Carrie Underwood has more talent in her little finger then Taylor Swift does in her manufactured, fake, fantasy land where she thinks she can actually sing.The taylor fans who actually are here saying Taylor is better then Carrie— are so out of touch with reality, that I truly feel sorry for them.Carrie is one of the best singers out there– whereas Taylor sounded like a 12 year old kid singing with a hair brush to a kareoke machine, in her basement. She is horrible, end of story.Last night showed the whole world how bad she really is. She was an embarassment to country music.
Taylor Swift Gets Zip—and Other Grammy Surprises. Here we say, John Mayer has a reason to get a date (like he needs one). Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus have a shared reason to grouse. Jennifer Hudson has a reason to smile. aw, jeez i guess maybe Taylor Swift should have gotten at least 1 grammy nomination, she an up and coming popular singer these days. I can’t wait till she’s old enough to date…
