What do you think of this year's nominations? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Firstly let me begin by saying that it is a well known fact that Stonewinner Entertainment considers the grammy awards to be a farce devoid of any credibility, secondly that does not mean that I wont comment on the absolute joke that is its annual nominees list:

1. Rihanna-Loud-Album of the year-really? seriously?

2. Why is Lady Gaga not featured in nearly every category? I may not be her biggest fan, heck I do not even keep any of her music but "Born This Way" set trends and made impacts that, at least I feel, deserve serious praise!

3. Best Dance recording and no sign of a nomination for "Party Rock Anthem"? It is without a doubt the biggest dance track for 2011, months after release it is still relevant. (I debated this particular one with a friend and apparently LMFAO are considered Hip-Hop?- have the genre line really become that blurred? and if even if that were the case then why are they not nominated in nay of the Hip-Hop categories-I give up)

4. Best RnB Album category has a Kelly mention, it is Price lol, all im saying is that next year this category better have a Kelly too, Rowland! Here I Am is a stonewinner, 4 can kiss my !@#$!@$!

5.Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, did you see it?? huh? did you? "Ima be your motivation" *breaks into song and some very not Kelly like dance moves*
