我也说两句。
看来因为9 月30号截至，很多强劲人士没有赶上班车啊。不过没关系，一般强人都是截止后专辑红一年后再拿Grammy，这样人家学院权威（Academy）也好参照大众口味。我关心的几个：Alicia Keys今年就首单曲No One入了Best Female R&B Vocal Performance， Best R&B Song。John在06年火爆的辑子也不能继续了，小EP The Village Sessions中的Belief也照进Best Male Pop Vocal Performance。倒是KT赶在9月18号发了却没有被提名。不知道有幸是要等到下次还是就此被遗忘呢。。。Feist居然被提新人，4个奖项中有个最佳短MV——不知道是不是借iPod Nano之风啊，总之大有盼头，虽然我个人更喜欢前一张专辑。虽然不喜欢，但我比较看好Umbrella这首歌，因为记得N长一段时间iTunes都被其和其MV包揽第一。 Amy Winehouse挺厉害，不过以前还真没听说过，当前正下好专辑在边听边写。Kanye West每年都有今年提名还最多，真是没话说。不知道DC去年爆了冷门后今年谁是最大赢家呢？
iTunes也加上了，自然是连上音乐下载链接：
最绝的是什么（见下图）：
左边：55-06按年分辑的获奖歌曲下载。只要有钱你可以一晚上搞定50年的Grammy获奖曲目。
右边：本年提名大部分奖项都有直接连接到下载页的。（没有的就是All Categories全部显示）
