So, the Grammy nominations have been announced for 2008. For the most part, I was pretty happy with them. Rihanna got lots of love (6 total nominations) for her killer year. Kanye, Amy Winehouse, Carrie Underwood, Justin Timberlake, Taylor Swift, Feist, Paramore, Dierks Bentley, Timbaland, Beyonce, Vince Gill, and others were recognized for their incredible contributions to music this year...
BUT...
There were a few unforgivable snubs.
Kelly Clarkson - She got one nomination for her duet with Reba in the Country Collaboration category, but she absolutely should have been nominated in Pop Vocal Album and Pop Female Vocal Performance for My December and "Never Again" respectively. This was easily her best album and most critics agreed, but no love...
Robin Thicke - The biggest R&B song of the year chart-wise and not one nomination. Should have had a lock on the R&B categories as well as Song and/or Record of the Year.
Fergie - She has one nomination for Pop Female Vocal Performance for "Big Girls Don't Cry". She had the third best-selling album of the year and THREE top five singles.
Elliott Yamin - Not a single nomination for Mr. Yamin and his monster hit, "Wait For You". Pop Male Vocal Performance and Best New Artist should have been his.
