Sad in Gaga's case.

Congratulations to all the other contenders, though.

[£100]

I don't get why the American music industry is so obsessed with Drake. I mean, I like a lot of his stuff, but it's very random. Canadians don't even like him as much as the Americans do. Best I Ever Had peaked at, what, #22, on the Canadian 100?
I just find it strange that he might be nominated for a Grammy.

[arkl]

Ya'll ready for Taylor "SWIFT"?

[ozlovezashlee]

YAYY GAGAGAGAGAGAG

GaGa on front!

[Rockstar101]

Taylor is gonna sweep & then never gonna be given a Grammy again.

[R!ck]

I hope Taylor loses...

BEP deserves all GaGa could be nominated for the most important awards

[Hërøiñ]

GaGa, Beyoncé, Greenday

Yeah they were. Billboard know zilch when it comes to the Grammys. Head over to Goldderby if you really want to get into the Grammys... the people are freaks when it comes to awards over there and they really know their stuff.

There's no real front-runner this year, except for Taylor Swift, and even that is kinda shaky.

[MrDeeds]

SWIFT.

[thegmangrant]

NO TAYLOR SWIFT!
Sorry but she doesn't deserve a grammy
She's good but not that good
Cobra Starship for nomination please!
Rumors is that they may be nominated for Best New Artist even though they aren't that new
But Jonas Bros. were nominated and they weren't new either

[Viico]

Gaga And Taylor ¡¡¡¡¡

You think Cobra Starship should get a nom, but no Taylor Swift?

Taylor should get nominations for:
Best Female Country Vocal Performance
Best Country Song
Best Country Album
Record of the Year
Album of the Year
Song of the Year
