Any comments/thoughts?

I don't think 30 was eligible because the album came out in 2005. I guess maybe they have had singles released, but I am not sure if that counts or not.

John Mayer got some noms.

I don't understand the grammys and don't pretend to. Sell a lot of records and get yourself a pretty prize? Maybe, no? I think most people here would agree there is better music out there. My opinion on the grammys would be as blunt as my opinion on the current top 40 ....and I havent seen a radio or a TV for 4 months.

They should be called "Most Mainstream".


But Imogen Heap has been nominated for Best New Artist. WTF! She is great, I love her music but is she new? No.

[Quila]

The grammys are a pathetic excuse for "music industry awards".

That's all I have to say.

I remember when the grammys were all adult alternative and weird music that only like rich people in their 40's and 50's listened to.
Now its the most popular song on radio awards.
I'm over it.

Jethro Tull won the first grammy for "Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance"
so i guess it shows how much they know

I find it funny how everyone is bitching and complaining about the Grammy's. Why? Because 30 wasn't nominated for anything? Oh, but if they were, would you still be complaining? I bet the Grammy's wouldn't be so "mainstream" then, right? Get a clue....

You all sound so hypocritical. You want to talk about mainstream, well let's talk about the Billboard Music Awards. That's as mainstream as you can get, but funny how I didn't read too much bitching about those awards. Gee, could it be because 30 WAS nominated for something? But I'm sure if they weren't you wouldn't have been on THAT bandwagon either, right?

I'm just as much of a fan of 30 as the next person, but I don't sit here and bash everything and cry if they don't get recognized in some award show. If they get the props, cool. If not, sure they may have been shafted, but oh well, something for them to work harder on next time.

So now I'll expect to see all of your "fuck you" replies back to me since you've been called out

[pale_existence]

oh man...you just made me realize that. I think I shall go end this miserable life now...bye..


I'm really going, bye.

don't try to stop me....I'm..slipppp

wait...WHAT is that you say? you are a tard who thought up a really unnecessary big bad comment as response to all of 7 people and really don't have any grounds for such a comment? oh

I don't watch the Grammys or the Oscars....or the BMA's. THEY ARE AND ALWAYS HAVE BEEN FOR the "older" people...imo. When i'm , like...60...then talk shit.(I think it was a Grammy that nora jones won, for that song?)

same with the juno's in canada. . . only the after partys are a lot lamer.

Yeah that was hilarious. The Grammy's used to be "serious", but since the rise of the Awards Show Industry the Grammys have to compete with thing like The WWE Music Awards (I made that up, but it wouldn't suprise me).

[Jacqueline2]

The grammys suck. Very few people I think deserve a nomination do. Oh and Michy I could careless if 30STM was nominated or not. If they were nominated I'd still think as a whole the grammys would suck. I think the only time I was happy watching the Grammys was when Christina Aguilera won best new Artist. That girl can sing and it was probably the only time someone I liked was nominated or even won. It's boring to watch too. There is nothing but the same garbage every year. Yes Dewey it used to be all serious and now it's like yeah who cares anymore.

[Quila]

Hey Michy, are you constipated? Because there's laxatives for that. It will make you a lot less cranky.

Someone brought up the Grammys and 30 being nominated months ago and I was the first one to say they won't get nominated.
They're too far under the radar for the Grammy commitee to take a moment to get their head out of their asses and notice.
I'm friends with a ton of bands who have been nominated and/or won Grammys (slipknot, mudvayne, shadows fall, etc...) and while I love them all dearly, these are very popular "mainstream" bands.
30, while being favorites of 14 year old girls everywhere, are not nearly close to the calibur of the aforementioned.
In fact, the only person(s) nominated for Grammys who are not in the mainstream are Imogen Heap, Elvis Costello & Allen Toussaint (although that ones debatable because of Elvis Costello) and Goldfrapp, who I am COMPLETELY surprised got 1 nomination let alone multiple nominations.

So why don't you take a moment to get YOUR head out of YOUR ass and realize some of us actually know what we are talking about.

I'm off to make a Billboard Music Awards thread.
