Billboard.com associate editor Jason Lipshutz and Billboard associate director of charts Keith Caulfield talked in a podcast about interviewing P!nk, you can check it out here at http://www.billboard.com/articles/co...interview-more:
He [BB director] said: "She said she kinda wished Lorde was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys, so I guess P!nk is a big Lorde fan. So that's cool. And she was totally humble, self-deprecating, really vibrant and just so sweet and genuine."
Yep. Per Grammy rules, Sheeran should have been considered last year. This is another Gotye situation. She'll probably win a couple of her nominations despite being massively snubbed for Best New Artist.
The way people are seething over this and the JT snub though . But I guess it does prove that at the Grammys, sales don't mean everything ..... I think its a good thing and if Lorde was going to succesful both cormecialy and award wise in future then this won't stop her,so it ok.
