December 8, 200520 yr And I can't even comment on the fact that X & Y was snubbed for Album Of the Year. I was surprised to see they didn't get a nom for Album of the Year as well. Such crap..
December 8, 200520 yr :lol: :lol: yeah...**coughs** mariah carey**coughs** :lol: Its weird, i was only thinking earlier what a shame it is that Mariah Carey has gone so shit.....i was listening to 'Fantasy' earlier (ooold schooool! love that song!) and i thinking how great she used to be years ago. Her music now is teeeerrible, and she looks a mess. And yeah - why isnt X&Y up for album of the year!?! :stunned:

December 8, 200520 yr ^**claps** you got it!! you got it!! mariah carye, kanye or anyone else should be compared with u2 or coldplay!!! truth is, they should even put the two in the same category! i wont be able to decide!! :huh:
December 9, 200520 yr And what happened to people like Sufjan Stevens and Bloc Party??? Not even one nomination for either anywhere! :sick:
December 9, 200520 yr I watch it for the performances. That and hoping to hear Coldplay win something. :)
December 9, 200520 yr Oh I really wanted for Coldplay to be nominated for Best Album and Best Record and win them as well...oh well CONGRATULATIONS!
December 10, 200520 yr I can't express how mad i am about them getting 'snubbed' like this, out of the major nominations. i normally could care less about awards or awards shows, but i want Coldplay to be publicly recognized for making such a great album, and when they snub Coldplay seemingly just for the sake of spite, i take it personally. i think it was Chris Martin's own mouth that did them in though. all his talk about wanting to be the next U2, i think that's the only reason they gave so many major nominations to U2, because i really dont think it was much of an album, especially compared to X&Y. that's the only explanation i can think of anyway

December 10, 200520 yr Or, um, maybe U2 deserved their nominations as much as Coldplay? Just a thought. Anyways, the Grammys are completely commercial. I don't expect Coldplay to win, nor U2, nor the Rolling Stones for that matter. I really don't feel that the "academy" (or who the fuck ever runs these things) who chooses the Nominees care about what Chris says. They just pick the albums that seemed the most commercially successful and give them all the nods. That can be good, and bad. Honestly, I didn't notice a LOT of publicity here in the states for X&Y. Not as much as Kanye West got, that's for sure. It's unfair, but expected. And hasn't Coldplay always been put up in the Alternative category up until this year? Interesting.

Interesting. thats true...X&Y was publicised very little in the US compared to people like Kanye and Mariah. the grammys always favor American bands, its always been that way unfortunently...and the categories this year dont make any sense...coldplay belongs in the alternative category

Not as much as Kanye West got, that's for sure. It's unfair, but expected. And hasn't Coldplay always been put up in the Alternative category up until this year? Interesting. its clear that we both share almost the same views on music. grammys are completely commercial indeed. the so called academy, as far as i know, is the same artists that nominate each other. since x&y wasnt given that much publicity here on the states, i dont expect that kanye and 50 cent have x&y playing on their ipods :stunned: (although they claim chris as an influence) artist only nominate whats popular or whats known to them, i can name probably 10 artists of the top of my head that werent nominated and should have been, sadly, their only sin is to lack popularity or perhaps a lot of songs that are inmediate hits. i do believe that populatity is a form of talent, many songs that have been popular(maily in the 80's) is because they were good, however, that's not always the rule. there are thousands of artist that have truckloads of talent, but have never been recognized. there are a couple of exeptions, in which a complete pariah in the music world wins(norah jones anyone?) no one knew who she was...yet she won. :confused: maybe the musical community gave coldplay a chance this time. they are nominated in the rock category, were they always should have been, except in parachutes, but the not biggest chance. they still have lots to recognize from this excellent band. in my opinion, u2 was only nominated, and i say it sadly, because of bono's character this year. he was up for a nobel prize, and was very active during live 8 and africa related camapings. HTDAB was amazing, but i say it again, i dont see any of the big and popular artists now, buying this album kanye's or 50's album....its just sad, plain sad. ok...i'll stop now...i write wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too much :stunned:
