The Grammy nominations were kind of a joke this year. I'm glad that Bey got quite a few nominations, and I'm thrilled that Sia was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year (neither of which she'll get, I'm sure), but honestly, the Grammys are nothing without Adele. A lot of the nominees were picked based on popularity and how well the song or artist is liked by the general public. I was pissed that
1000 Forms of Fear got snubbed for Album of the Year, though. God, I'm just praying we at least get to see Adele at the Grammys next year. She better not ditch again. Maybe she'll even perform!

(Yeah, right....

)
EDIT: And I agree with you about Pharrell, Ichi. He seems like a pretty nice person and he's a musical genius, but I honestly cannot stand any of his solo work. He's an amazing producer, but his solo stuff isn't very good. "Come Get It Bae" is kind of catchy, but his work with other artists is far better than his solo work, and I think he's a bit overrated.
