...yowch.
EDIT: Just checked, Record of The Year is awarded on the singer's performance. Still doesn't explain half the list.
Honestly, I'm not that big a fan of pop music, but there's seriously only one song on that list that doesn't make me say "Oh god I hate this song" every time I hear it.

Stay With Me is decent, and Take Me To Church is good. The rest are still shit.
Grammy people, you do realise that at the very least "Happy" was an option? If not... many other songs that deserve stuff like "Record Of The Year" and "Song Of The Year" more than Fancy and Shake It Off?
I'm not sure if it says more about Grammy priorities or myself when I say that that the """Alternative""" Music category actually looks pretty respectable compared to the rest.
Both the Song and Record categories are reminding me of the complaints about long-term memory issues people usually lob at the Oscars, isn't most of this stuff still in the top charts?

Well, I haven't heard Fancy in a while. That's about it.
Soundtrack Nominations are in. Aside from the two obvious ones, Wolf Of Wall Street, Get On Up and American Hustle get nods.
If you should happen to spot a mushroom-cloud on the horizon within the next hour then Album of the Year just got announced with no noms for Beyoncé.
It would have to be a big explosion, I live in Ireland.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!Hah, don't underestimate they Bey-hive, they'd form their own military nation given the means.
The Best Music Video category is actually quite alright too, I'd be rather pleased with a Woodkid upset but all the contenders are quite solid (Turn Down for What, woot).
edit: Igloo Iggs nominated for Best Rap Album, dear god, imagine if she wins.

At least Cage the Elephant was nominated for Best Alternative Album.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.I really like Take Me To The Church, so I hope that wins. The rest in that catagory though, blegh.
Sing the song of sixpence that goes burn the witch, we know where you liveALBUM OF THE YEAR

Sam Smith - In The Lonely Hour

Either Beck or Beyoncé, please, most likely it'll be the latter but we'll see, I guess.
...Please let Kendrick win Best Rap Song. If not him than Kanye. Please? They're the only good songs in the category.
To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."Iggy will win everything. Maybe I could see Kendrick winning best song just because they took pity on him for last year when Macklemore won.
There's no justice in this world.
To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."My only hope is that Aphex wins best electronic album, if only so that he'll have to show up on stage his usual unshaved, disheveled self and being completely unfazed by everything going on around him.
You are standing in an open field west of a white house, with a boarded front door. There is a small mailbox here.Assuming he'd even show up, he strikes me as the type to pull a The Knife and send people in monkey suits in his stead or something like that.
That would be more something that Boards of Canada would do, imo. Richard strikes me more as the kind of guy who would show up wearing jogging pants and a huge beard or pulling a troll move by sending Mike Paradinas and telling him to pretend to act like he's RDJ himself.

It's one of the worst videos I've ever seen.
To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."Norah Jones, Arcade Fire, Bon Iver and Esperanda Spalding won Grammys in the past few years. I honestly think the Grammys can be unpredictable at times.
I'm honestly disappointed that Let It Go wasn't nominated for Record Of The Year or Song Of The Year. Or that the soundtrack wasn't nominated for Album of the Year.
They do have medals for almost, and they're called silver!I can't think of a single soundtrack that was ever nominated for album of the year.
Insert witty 'n clever quip here.Wait, Jennifer Hudson had a single this/last year?
Wait, Rap God is nominated for Best Rap Performance? I didn't see it in the OP link; Bound 2 was in its place.

To pity someone is to tell them "I feel bad about being better than you."The soundtracks of "Saturday Night Fever", "The Bodyguard" and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" won the Album Of The Year category.

"Stay With Me" is a song of the year nomination?
Oh my God... it is without a doubt the laziest, most impassionate song I've ever heard; why do people like that song?
Please help out our The History Of Video Games page.
The nominations are currently being announced
the Record of the Year and the Pop Vocal categories are kinda making me want to cry just a little bit.edited 5th Dec '14 8:26:02 AM by LE0Night
