“Rehab” better win both those categories
Who is “feist”? I am apparantly so far out of the music loop. I haven’t heard a lot of these songs
That’s right keep kanye happy, give him 8 nods, wouldn’t want him to have another meltdown.
he’ll still melt down when he doesn’t win anything….or even if he wins 1 or 2.
He’s a whiny bitch!
lol
I don’t see anyone else win in a category where Amy Winehouse is nominated. She reigns supreme.
That is pretty much the ugliest poster I’ve ever seen. I think I’m getting an epileptic attack over here.
GO AMY!! Also,congrats to Ledesi, Jill Scott and Chrisette Michele for holdin it down for real soul music!
this award show has become a popularity contest! lmao kanyes new albumb is mediocre and DAUGHTRY?

P.S god bless amy winehouse
Leslie Feist is a Canadian indie artist…you know the “1,2,3,4 tell me that you love me more” ipod nano commercial? thats her SHE’S GREAT !!! I second that psl Amy Better win everything shes nominated for and i am sorry 2007 was a shit year for music if Rihanna wins i’ll be so pissed (she’s talentless)…YA THATS RIGHT I SAID IT lol
“Back to Black” is the most incredible album I’ve heard in years–I think it’s a shoe-in for Album of the Year. An added bonus would be seeing Kanye throwing a hissy fit over losing to Amy
Hey Cree, brilliant! I’m not the only one out there that loves Feist. I went her concert this past Saturday night here in St. John’s. It was fan-friggin’-tastick!
i’d never give a grammy to winehouse. in fact i’d ban her until she manages to get sober.
Snair, you’re from St.John’s?, i’m from Gander!….wow, small world indeed!
Anon, I’m not from St. John’s, I’m a displaced New Brunswicker going to school here… however I could easily be convinced to stay!
Yes we all know Kanye moans most of the time, but sometimes he has a point, sometimes the people he loses to are riduculous. Anyway Amy Winehouse and him should lead because they both have great albums.
I swear if Fergie wins best pop vocal over Christina & Amy i’m gonna have a meltdown !!!!
I think Kanye is talented but his whining has affected nominations this year. Of his 3 albums his latest album is by far the weakest. I thought his second album deserved recognition. I definitely think Amy deserves to win the categories she’s in.
OMG Snair you lucky BASTARD:) I want to see her in Toronto in January 08′ but its sold out…
Too bad Amy’s wasting her talent away. I hope she doesn’t fall into deeper troubles and that she gets better cause it would be such a waste.
Cree, her original show sold out in a couple of hours here, there was such a high demand for tickets that they moved it from a high school auditorium to the small-ish stage setup at the stadium. I’m pretty sure that sold out as well, or at least it looked like it had.
I was afraid I would be disappointed by her live performance, but it rocked my socks off!
I agree, where the hell is Daughtry??
…FERGIE?!? FERGIE?!?!?!?
WTF were they thinking?!?!?!
