And the Grammy would go to...2010 Nominations

I have been disappointed with the Grammys for a while now...but looks like this time around its going to be good. They got the nominations right for a lot of categories especially R&B..phew...and looks like a tight race in a lot of categories. Eminem leads the nods with 10, Jay-Z, Lady Antebellum and Lady Gaga earned 6 each, B.o.B and John Legend earned five noms and Rihanna has 4. Beyonce earned 2.

Listed below are the full list of nominees. Hopefully, they put on a good show in February as I'll be glued to my couch! 

Album of the Year
» Arcade Fire - The Suburbs
» Eminem - Recovery (should win)
» Lady Antebellum - Need You Now (may win)
» Lady Gaga - The Fame Monster (should win)
» Katy Perry - Teenage Dream

Its a tie for me between Eminem and Gaga, although they may be trying to appease Gaga's monsters for the snub she received last year. However, knowing the Grammys, Lady Antebellum might just end up as wining.
