Grammy Nominations 2012

Apparently, Grammy just released the nominees for major and minor nominations. Grammy is the most outstanding awards rather than MTV EMA's, VMA's, or any awards that the votes of the majority are always the winners because (sorry for the Directioners and Beliebers) but One Direction and Justin Bieber will always reign with those awards. Unlike Grammy's, of course you're not allowed to vote. But the judges are the Music Experts that they choose the real talent, most unique and artistic way of making their own Genre.

I'm just wondering why "Call Me Maybe" is nominated. Yes it's catchy (not for me) but the meaning of the song is just draining like the Girl has the crush on this guy then he was so obsessed with the guy so he wants to have his number—

Yes! Coldplay is nominated for two awards. Best Rock Performance on Charlie Brown and Best Rock Album for Mylo Xyloto. Apparently they announced after their Australian tour that they will have a 3-year hiatus and they will make another album that the name is easier to pronounce. I'm shock  that even though the Mylo era is ending, they still have nominations on the album itself. 

Coldplay and Muse are both nominated for the Best Rock Album. In Muse it is their latest Album, "The 2nd Law." While Matt Bellamy (Muse's vocalist) is in his process of being well because of his condition that his foot broke, that's what I am agonising of. What will I expect in the awards night, holding a crutch? Hopefully not. Matt Bellamy is a guitar god that when he do his guitar moves, it's awesome. Perfection I shall say. Well, I'm also idolising these two bands (with Yellowcard), to God be the Glory.
