2010 Grammy Nominees Announced

We would be remiss if we didn’t acknowledge the 2010 Grammy nominations that were announced during last evenings “Grammy Nomination Concert”.   Beyonce wins the prize for most nominations (10), followed by Taylor Swift with eight nominations.  Other multi-nominated artists include Lady GaGa, Maxwell, Black Eyed Peas, Kings of Leon, Colbie Caillat, Michael Giacchino, John Newton, RedOne, Bruce Springsteen, T-Pain, Keith Urban, Kanye West, Jay-Z, Kerry Hilson and David Guetta.

The biggest surprise was the obvious snub of Whitney Houston’s “I Look to You”, which was supposed to be the comeback album of the year.  The album did not receive any nominations.

CONGRATULATIONS to our friends, ZAC  BROWN BAND, for their nomination as “Best New Artist”!  Way to go boys!
