The GRAMMYS! The Grammy's is the epidome of the music industry. One would think its the most creditable awards there is for music. But sometimes they come a lil short. To me, this year's nominees are disapointing and a lil lil somewhat predictable. Like Coldplay nominations. Coldplay is a Grammy fave. With a total of 6 nominations. But the person who got the most nods is Lil' Wayne! With a whomping total of 8! He's the only artists this year who managed to sell a million in the first week. Making him the biggest seller this year in the US. I dont get it Lil' Wayne music! Lollipop and A Milli to me is the worst songs ever!
