As the year comes to an end the time when musicians come together and celebrate their adroit talents has arrived. Nerves rack up and artists succumb to the anticipation of what was and what could potentially be while we, the onlookers, anxiously await who’s going to wear what and who’s accompanying who. February marks the 55th anniversary of the Grammy award ceremony. It sounds crazy but besides the designer dresses and pretty faces I never really got excited about music awards because I always felt as if the same artists win each year; with the occasional sprinkle of surprise. I usually waited until the next day to see what the buzz moments were and watch a few clips but I’m actually a little elated this time around. Last year when Bon Iver won Best New Artist and Best Alternative Music Album I was completely thrilled and after seeing this year’s nominations I’m even more anxious.
Frank Ocean has six nominations including Record of the Year, Album of the Year, and Best New Artist. Miguel has five nominations including Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance, and Best Urban Contemporary Album. Kimbra has two nominations for her collaborative work with Gotye for “Somebody That I Used to Know” including Record of the Year and Best Pop Duo/Group Performance. Ed Sheeran’s “The A Team” is nominated for Song of The Year. Luke James is also nominated for Best R&B Performance for “I Want You”. If you follow the blog you know that I adore these artists and I can’t wait for the show. The 55th Grammys will air on February 10th @ 8pm on CBS so don’t miss it!
