So who was overlooked? Carly Rae Jepsen and Miguel were the most obviously overlooked artists. While both are nominated in the Song of the Year category, Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe” and Miguel’s “Adorn” both deserved more recognition. Plus, competing in a category that also includes such heavy hitters as Kelly Clarkson’s “Stronger,” fun.’s “We Are Young” and Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team,” there’s a good possibility Jepsen’s song of the summer will be entirely shut out of the Grammys. Finally, while it’s not completely clear what the standards are for inclusion in the new Urban Contemporary Album category, it’s a bit odd that both Rihanna and Usher were shut out of it.
The Urban R&B category was stupid!! Why would they only have 3 nominations??? I mean out of the MANY R&B albums that came out, they couldn't have found two. (Usher, Rihanna, Trey Songz, anybody!)
That was just really, really, really confusing.
But, I am so glad that Miguel got the "Song of the Year" nomination.

Elle and Usher should have been nominated in the category.
I still can't figure out the Urban nominations and why they only had 3. I'm guessing Usher and Rihanna and Trey Songz figured they were r&b and didn't submit since the Urban nods typically are "less mainstream" artists in the field.
