The
45th annual Grammy nominations where announced Tuesday morning by
several musicians including Ashanti, Avril Lavigne, John Mayer and
Nelly from New York’s Madison Square Garden. The nominees for such
categories as Album of The Year and Record of The Year span diverse
genres of music from country, to rap, to jazz and in some cases were
dominated by women.
Bruce Springsteen was nominated for Album of The Year for “The Rising” along side Eminem for “The Eminem Show,” Dixie Chicks for “Home,” Nelly for “Nellyville,” and Norah Jones for “Come Away With Me.” Springsteen was also nominated for Song of The Year for his 9/11 inspired album’s title song “The Rising.” The Best New Artist category nominees, dominated by women, include; Norah Jones, Ashanti, Michelle Branch, Avril Lavigne and John Mayer.
The Song of The Year category (which honors songwriters), full of
female nominees, include Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated,” Norah Jones
performed song written by Jesse Harris’s “Don’t Know Why,” Bruce
Springsteen’s “The Rising,” Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles,” and
Alan Jackson’s “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).”
Springsteen, Lavigne, Ashanti and Jones walked away with five nominations each and Eminem close behind with three. The much hyped garage bands The Strokes, The Vines, The Hives and The White Stripes were turned away at the door without a single nomination. The 45th annual Grammy Awards are scheduled for February 23rd at Madison Square Garden in New York City and will include 104 categories, up from 102 last year. Like this article?
