You all better appreciate this thread, been hand typing this since nominations came out for it to glitch out and wipe everything after 40 minutes for me then to copy and paste and spend an hour sorting it all out 

[Tweener]

This is fucking gross.

Gaga and Sheeran get Grammy's nominations and not Katy, Miley, Demi or Dua.

New Rules is like TSOTY. How could they snub it so bad?!?!

However, it was all expected. For Grammy's it's quantity over quality. That's why Taylor Swift has so many of these awards. That's truly saddening.

They could get nominated for the 2019 Grammys. I think it depends on when the album or song is released...

nope

[liberation]

 

Did you gays really expected Katy Perry to get nominations with that messy album?  

Of course tho is gross that Ed Sheeran was nominated, but i barely care about grammy's besides the best pop vocal album and best solo performance, which i'm really happy about! 

Kesha won't win this but obviously i'm cheering for her. Demi maybe deserved a nomination even with TMYLM being one of my least favorites from her in terms of music, it's clearly the album which she put her soul into. 

Julia Michaels better work those nominations  And as usual Kelly was nominated too, so happy for her, in a year we're getting her nomination to best pop vocal album too  

[Ari]

I'm kinda disappointed in the nominees this year but understandable that Ariana didn't get nominated with her not having much work out this year compared to everyone else (I was really rooting for her to get nominated for Somewhere Over The Rainbow however)

I do think Demi deserved, Miley as well but maybe in the country categories for Younger Now (album)

Kesha and Pink deserve them nominations + so much more and are the ones I'm going to be rooting for next year 

[Rose]

What's with all the awards shows this year being mostly male?

It Ain't Me was a hit/worldwide success and Tell Me You Love Me deserved a nomination, it's truly Demi's best and showed us a side of her we haven't seen and has a mature sound, she released it early for the Grammy's deadline too and didn't end up with a nom which is disappointing..

Kesha and Pink got their deserved nominations which I'm happy about though! I wish Somewhere Over the Rainbow could've gotten something too though.

Why is Alessia still nominated for best new artist? Didn't she have an album in 2015 

Also The Chainsmokers getting a nomination over so many talented artist this year, uhm.. 

Hope next year there will be more deserving females like Dua, Camila, Rihanna, Demi and many more.

Pink's album is eligible to the next year's grammys because it was released after the deadline

And I hoped Ariana would get a nomination for Beauty and the Beast. I loved her rendition.

And I hoped Ariana would get a nomination for Beauty and the Beast. I loved her rendition.

 

Ahh, that makes sense why it was only WAU was nominated and not the album

I like Beauty and The Beast but I had my hopes up more because of the orchestral version that was teased in an advert before the release of the song, but it turned out it was an edit from the editors and the "orchestral" version doesn't exist.
I hope she gets some recognition for Manchester though, maybe not an award but just a mention or something along the lines. What she did with the benefit concert was something so big and amazing and it deserves credit. 

[Tweener]

Grammy's HATES ex-acts. That's the real tea.

I am happy with Kesha tho. I hope she wins (she won't of course) but I am rooting for her. Out of all the albums nominated, Rainbow was truly a masterpiece. She deserves it.

I don't think it was a great song but even Katy's fart might sound better than Million Reasons

Cum trough Kesha
