And The Grammy Goes To....

I think the Grammy Awards this year were pretty brutal as far as winners are concerned.

First of all... I barely even know who Allison Krauss is and I've worked at a country radio station. I don't think doing a collaboration with Robert Plant should automatically get you tons of Grammy Awards. They are my first major problem.

Second: I like Coldplay. I don't mind their music much. How is that they won so many awards? Album of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Rock Album, Best Pop Performance by a Group? There are tons of songs better than Viva La Vida. It seems like the only times that Coldplay did not win... Allison Krauss did. Really annoying.

After looking over the list of all the awards... I did find some joy in seeing that the Jonas Brothers lost for Best New Artist. I am completely against those boys. My boy bands are Hanson and N'Sync.

A couple of my favorite random categories are Best Surround Sound Album, Best Historical Album, Best Album Notes, and Best Polka Album. (The Polka winner, in case you are wondering is Jimmy Sturr and his Orchestra - Let The Whole World Sing)

Here is the list: (I wrote down a couple of the other nominees in each category to show my point. Winners are in italics.)

Record of the Year: Coldplay - Viva La Vida / Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love / Allison Krauss & Robert Plant
Album of the Year: Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends / Allison Krauss & Robert Plant
Song of the Year: Jason Mraz - I'm Yours / Sara Bareilles - Love Song / Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Best Pop Performance by Group: Maroon 5 - Won't Go Home Without You / One Republic - Apologize / Coldplay - Viva La Vida
Best Pop Collaboration: Rihanna & Maroon 5 - If I Never See Your Face Again / Jordin Sparks & Chris Brown - No Air / Allison Krauss & Robert Plant
Best Rock Album: Kid Rock - Rock And Roll Jesus / Coldplay - Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends

What are your Grammy thoughts? Who did you want to see win? Personally, I would be happy with anyone except Coldplay, Allison Krauss, or Robert Plant.
