I just know abt it ...

Besides the BIG 4, namely Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, and Best New Artist Grammy 2009 will have 4 more ...

Artist of the Year
Group of the Year
Male of the Year
Female of the Year

THE BIG 8

I think this move shows that artists should be more acknowledged ...

What do u all think??

Expect Day26 & Danity Kane to get nods now.

great new awards!!!

I heard this a couple of days ago. This is great! Artist of the Year should be a HUGE accomplishment.

Oh, somewhere, Christina Aguilera just had an orgasm.

Yay Solange, Ashanti, and Jessica won't be left out!!!!!!!!

I'm sooo excited for this.

I can't wait

Album OTY - Spirit Leona Lewis
Song OTY - Bleeding Love
Best New Artist - Leona Lewis
Artist OTY - Leona Lewis
Female Artist OTY - Leona Lewis

Haha, i think w/o album of the year. She deserves the rest!!

And i just realised that the BIG 8 will prevent an artist to win ALL the big awards like before....

Great change <3

that was the first thing i thought when i saw this thread lol

i think it's like this
Song OTY- Bleeding Love
Best New Artist- Leona Lewis
Artist OTY- Alicia Keys/Leona Lewis
Female Artist OTY- Leona/Alicia

OH Rihanna is gonna have a ball grammy night

i doubt it not with this years candidates

Will these be in the this years show??

It looks like its trying to compete with the VMAS or something.

I think Grammy is prestigious enough for it not to compete with VMAs. and yeah, this year!

I think Best Group will go to Coldplay!

^ yea more than likely

LMAO at Leona or Alicia winning everything. As if there weren't more and better females than them out there. Expand your horizons.

What Katy Perry.
