As bizarre as the Grammy’s can be in general, I always appreciate… ESPECIALLY this year… that they take time to truly consider who should be recognized in the country genre.
I LOVE… LOVE… LOVE that Patty Loveless, Kathy Mattea, Trisha, and Randy Travis are rightfully recognized.
I also love that “Last Call” is given a nod. That is by far one of the few truly “country” songs to come out in a loooong time!

The narrow-mindedness of the CMA’s and ACM’s are always such an embarassment.

Carrie Underwood deserved a Country Album nod. Otherwise– I am fine with this list.

I would have liked to have seen Miranda on there somewhere- but the 5 ladies nominated for female vocalist are deserving.

Taylor’s performance was dreadful, that is for sure. I have no idea what the grammy producers were thinking asking her to sing that Brenda Lee song. It was beyond embarassing to country music.

Just saw the list and very impressed: lovin; the love for Krauss/Plant, Loveless, Strait, Yearwood, and Womack.

I am disapointed that “EOW” didnt get nominated and also I wish Miranda was nominated instead of McBride- Lambert’s track was clearly better.

Zach, that’s exactly how I feel! I’m also rooting for Kathy Mattea, and in non-country, Adele, Radiohead, Duffy, and Coldplay (to a lesser extent).

whoo!!! Im rooting for Trisha’s female and album of the year grammys, and Sugarland for group and song. YAY!! and of course im rooting for alison’s other noms too :)
OR if Trisha loses I’d like to see Lee Ann Womack or LeAnn Rimes take home the trophy

It is high time Trisha wins for album of the year, all of her albums that have been elligible have been nominated!!! That has to be a record!

I love Patty but not the duet with George, not really a Strait fan! But like I said really excited for Trisha!

Plant & Krauss are an early favorite in four of the five categories, I would say. Record of the Year likely goes to Coldplay, and they are the prime competitor for the pair in the Album category.

If artists are nominated in multiple genres, as Plant/Krauss are in the collaboration categories, winning both is highly unusual. Yearwood & Urban are Grammy faves, and Strait & Loveless seem to have strong support, so that category is tough. I know Krauss will win something, but I hope that Johnson, Strait, Yearwood and Loveless can all come home with a trophy.

I’m obviously rooting for Patty’s Sleepless nights as album of the year and for her duet with George, but based on the non-country noms, I assume Alison is going to sweep. I know I’m in the minority and I love Alison, but I didn’t like the album with Robert Plant.

I’m pleaseantly surprised by some of the country nominees. And much happier than with the CMAs or ACMS.

So many veterans I love it. The Grammy’s are known for usually picking music over popularity, hense no Taylor (thank you). Martina out Miranda in I really thought this would be a year of a little more Miranda. Glad to see Leann Rimes back in the mix, she would be a satisfying win. Don’t think Carrie’s Last Name will cut it, had it been Just A Dream it would have been a lock especially after the CMA performance. I do enjoy Allison but I think the two together got more than they desereved just not a huge fan of that colaboration, but good luck to them. Again so glad to see all the veterans back in action.

If Sugarland wins something for Stay again I may throw up.
