 They're virtually the same critically. 71 vs. 73 on Metacritic (The 71 for BTW would be even higher if it weren't for some randomass review of "0" being included in the average). But the Grammy's do love Beyonce, so you could be right.

 98% of Katy's live performances of Firework have been sub par. You don't have to be an expert to hear how flat she sounds during the performances of that song.

 All of this plus Beyoncé being a grammy favorite. 
 
There is also the fact that 4 underperformed so she has an even bigger chance of getting more grammy love.

 Jesus Christ it's obvious that Teenage Dream isn't the album of the 2010. 
 
Don't even try to make this into an argument of differing opinions, because there's a difference between saying "I think TD was the best album of the year" and "TD is the best album of the year"
 
Between all the albums that outsold TD, all the albums that got more acclaim than TD, and all the albums that got more attention than TD, it's obvious that TD is nowhere near "Album Of The Year" status.

 Not gonna argue with you, but I have seen multiple performances of her singing it great, and several more sing it decently. I've also seen her live, so I would know a little more than someone who hasn't. But I'm done arguing, the committee obviously though otherwise.

The Grammy's have historically, I think, nominated pop albums in which the artist has had significant involvement in the songwriting, composing, and/or producing. I really can't see Loud being nominated. There are too many other viable contenders.

 i prefer btw over loud of course from the artistic point of view...but at the same time i am here for the meltdowns.

The  Facts still stand. Teenage Dream is not the best album of 2010.

 Your posts are getting tired and inane. Get off your high horse. Everyone knows Katy Perry is, by and large, a failure when it comes to live performances. The Grammy's are not going to nominate Not Like The Movies just because it's the only song that she can sing decently live. Firework was her single, and her performances of it are abysmal to put it nicely. You're arguing with someone else about letting a Katy fan speak their opinion and then you proceed to attack someone else for stating their opinion about Katy's live performances. Hypocritical much?

 Whichever way he/she said it, doesn't matter. It should be taken for an opinion because that is exactly what it is. End of story. No need to get all bothered.

 Read on, if you are capable:  You're arguing with someone else about letting a Katy fan speak their opinion and then you proceed to attack someone else for stating their opinion about Katy's live performances. Hypocritical much?

I'm so excited to see who gets nominated! I hope Rihanna and Katy get a few.

 JB's albums are much more critically acclaimed than anything Katy has released.

 If that's the case Loud as well cause its actually better than both

 They seem to be pretty equally acclaimed among respected reviewers.

 I wasn't comparing them, someone said JB might even get a nom, when he already has.
