Great album. Way better than many in the Pop category. <br /><br />Also, the list of Pop Solo Performance is upsetting. No male vocalist in there! That's what's going to happen every year now that the Grammys have erased the Male and Female categories.BBranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-58538483284600725152012-12-11T04:01:44.220+00:002012-12-11T04:01:44.220+00:00LOL there WAS that joyous moment but no, that was ...LOL there WAS that joyous moment but no, that was not the moment on my mind.

Namely people who in some capacity worked on albums. I guess that means ,besides a lot of actual musicians,a whole lot of sell out ''studio voices'' and the rest of the lot involved in producing a lot of crappy excuses for ''music'' who care mostly for fame. Oh, and it seems for ''god'' ( and in that order as well)...judging by many of the acceptance speeches. ;-)<br />No doubt the fact that real musicians also get a vote explains why at least at this war shows it's not about the Biebers etc.opieEvernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-85805061326611381892012-12-10T23:49:29.759+00:002012-12-10T23:49:29.759+00:00I'm kind of hoping Fiona Apple shows up and de...I'm kind of hoping Fiona Apple shows up and delivers one of these speeches again ... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSLwYrPbutsSerendipity.-noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-21422623555192158312012-12-10T21:52:07.578+00:002012-12-10T21:52:07.578+00:00Agreed.

I really don't see the point in these awards shows. Who is honestly responsible for the voting anyway, because they definitely aren't judging artists by merit and musical integrity if this list is anything to go by (save for a few people: Bjork, Fiona Apple, ect). Although I'm sure neither one of them would even bother show up to this sham.Also, Lana definitely should have been nominated for best new artist, and Melanie Fiona's the MF life should have been nominated for best urban contemporary album, but I digress. I just hope to see of my favs shut the place down.Mel Rhttp://twitter.com/Melo_R0noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-76417412974219626152012-12-08T02:31:16.940+00:002012-12-08T02:31:16.940+00:00But see, 21 really had no competition during the G...But see, 21 really had no competition during the Grammys. <br />You have to kind of view the social impact of the albums.<br />Daydream was seen as a Mariah reaching her peak, continuing on the wave of success she gained back in 1990. Where as 21 is seen almost as a personal savior to music, people see 21 somewhat as the Jagged Little Pill and Tapestry of it's time (which I don't enjoy those comparisons as both those albums are far more rounded and diverse but oh well). You have to look at so many factors, I agree 100% Mariah should have collected at least 1 Grammy for Daydream. One huge aspect about music is timing. Artists' success in many aspects depends on this.<br /><br /><br />And of course Beyonce has a large collection of Grammys. It's fairly easy to rack them up when your father is a judge on the committee *cough cough*. Beyonce is talented though.Serendipity.-noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341723937148634092.post-79725838290010367092012-12-08T00:43:03.696+00:002012-12-08T00:43:03.696+00:00Call Me Maybe is the most annoying song i have eve...Call Me Maybe is the most annoying song i have ever heard! wait ! second after Gangnam Style !
