The REAL 2008 GRAMMY Nominations

The 50th Annual Grammy Awards

Sunday, February 10, 2008

Im taking the Time to SPOTLIGHT quite a Few MAINSTREAM Artists Who have been NOMINATED for the Distinguished, 2008 GRAMMY AWARD, BUT Whom have ALSO been IGNORED and Looked Over by the 'MAINSTREAM MEDIA'.

It BOTHERS Me, to The Heavens, that EVERYONE, including ALL of the Bloggers and Central WebSites are STRICTLY Focused Upon KANYE'S 8 Nominations and AMY's 6. I Mean, While I DO Agree that Both Artists have had STELLAR Years, Musically, and have Presented Prolific Albums, Artistically, there are OTHER ROCK, R&B, POP, COUNTRY, RAP and ALTERNATIVE Artists Whose Work has Made a Significant Impact on the Industry in Late 2006/Early 2007.

So, UNLIKE Any Other Site, Who STRICTLY Posts the Grammy.Com WebSite, Leading their Viewers and Blog Audiences to a LONG, 100+ Category Listing, I am actually going to VISUALLY Acknowledge these Artists; MOST of Whom I hold a Moderate to Major Respect Towards.

I CANT Say, However, that Im XCITED about the 2008 Grammy Awards. I have a FEELING that AMY WINEHOUSE is NOT going to Show Up and Perform, and those Who DO, are going to be BLAZE' and LACKLUSTER...Not including Alicia; of Course. Shes a MAVERICK~

MeanWhile...Here are MOST of the SIN.Sational Artist(s) Who the Media are NOT HighLighting!...DESPITE their Numerous Nominations; though it May NOT be 6 or 8 a Piece~
