Guest hardyz1 Report post Posted January 7, 2003 2003 Nominations I patiently await the well deserved flaming from the metal heads regarding who was nominated for Best Metal performance. On the plus side: Aerials and No One Knows are nominated for Hard Rock Performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Youth N Asia Report post Posted January 7, 2003 I love how they add Eminem and Nelly to record of the year to try and make it seem like they know what popular music is. Bowling for Soup??? Best pop song??? It's an alright song...but damn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Shawn 5 Report post Posted January 7, 2003 Whoo-hoo, Slipknot & Stone Sour both nominated for Best Metal Performance. Corey Taylor truely is GOD!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest starvenger Report post Posted January 7, 2003 Lots of love for Norah Jones, although oddly enough no nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album. I mean I suppose that she's more pop than jazz, but still... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Edwin MacPhisto Report post Posted January 7, 2003 The nominees are pretty poor, even for the Grammys. Petey Pablo? Pick a rapper with some hits, dammit! I will not be caring about this year, as usual. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 7, 2003 It's too bad there aren't really any dominant pop stars anymore. I miss the days when Michael Jackson could walk out of the Grammys with 10 or 15 awards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Metal Maniac Report post Posted January 7, 2003 This annoys me every year...if you're don't have anyone on the committee who knows what metal is, and they obviously don't, then don't make asses out of yourselves by pretending that you know what you're talking about. They have NO idea, none. And how much time does a band have to get nominated? I mean, fuck, How You Remind Me came out in like, 2001. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Hamburglar Report post Posted January 7, 2003 Shit, I swear Craig David's first album has been out since early 2000 and he's still getting nominated for it. Unbelievable. Daniel Bedingfield has been nominated for a Grammy...fucking hell. Lavigne, Nelly, total lack of any of the good guitar bands this year. I didn't realise the Grammys were that ghey.

Guest spiny norman Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Look at the nominees for Best Music Video. Bloody hell, where's Kylie Minogue's Come Into My World? That is easily the best film clip from this year. The Grammies are so terrible. Why do they have no idea what people want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest redbaron51 Report post Posted January 8, 2003 well they want to target the teen audience, so they throw those bands so they can get some ratings!!! Lets hope that Bruce wins a lot of grammies Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest ant_7000 Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Do the judges no shit about music? The Rap Category is fucked up, Eminem gets it by a landslide his only competition is Ludacris from rap fans point of view. But the judges point of view it will come down to Em and Nelly. They must drew names out of a hat or some shit because how in fuck Petey Pablo and Mystikal get a nomination and Scarface, Jay-Z, and Nas (He did get nominated for a rap single) didn't? Thats rappers don't even bother to show up to these bullshit awards. R&B wise im glad Ralphel Sadiqq got 5 nominations thou he is very underrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Kotzenjunge Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Kylie - Totally IGNORED in the Pop arena. Fucking bullshit, sez I. At least she got a nomination for Dance song, but will probably lose to some infinitely less worthy person (I didn't bother reading her competition). Okay, I read the competition, and they are decent nominees to be sure (although "Hella Good" is NOT a dance song), but Kylie is just SO much better than all of them. Still, that she didn't get a single Pop nomination gets my goat to no end. Their nominees for Pop album are bull, with the exception of Norah Jones. I'm VERY glad that "My Culture" by One Giant Leap's video was nominated for Short Form Music Video. It's a tremendous video. It has Robbie Williams in it as well, and he's superb as usual. Notice how Dance was one field, and was only one category, that being single SONG? Where the hell is the techno? It's music too, you know. You let New Age get in there, why not Techno? I HATE that.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Well, I'm not going to look at the metal nominees because I know they're stupid already and Corey Taylor is involved with two of the bands. The award should go to Nile... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Instead of a Grammy-hand picked committee, that no one know who it consists of, there should be a group of experts in each field of music, and they get together and select the nominees for their respective genres.

Guest Agent of Oblivion Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Yeah, but then pop music would be generally ignored, which would piss off fans and record labels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest starvenger Report post Posted January 8, 2003 You know, I just noticed this, but Remy Shand got 4 nominations (all in R&B categories), which leads me to ask: have a lot of Americans even HEARD of Remy Shand? I'm guessing that much of this board hasn't but I don't think he's mainstream, so... what gives? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Still Fly Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Why rappers like Nelly and Petey Pablo are nominated for Grammys is simple. Crossover and mainstream apeall. Unfortunaltely Jay-Z and Nas dont really have that in there corner. Face it, a LOT of people like Nelly more than Nas or Jay-Z. Rappers like Nelly are non-threating in that sort of way .If thats the way it is then fine who cares? Its a stupid award it doesnt mean anything. Its not anything to get worked up at night. Im sure some rappers dont evn give tow shits about getting nominated. While im not a big Nelly fan (he does make good party music and feel good songs if your not feeling serous at the moment) I can see why he would get nominated for Grammys and not Jay-Z.

Guest EricMM Report post Posted January 8, 2003 Well I'm sure that no one will care about these Grammys, just like no one ever does. The list reaffirms my faith that no comittee, ever, for any awards shows, ever, knows what it's talking about. I could rant about the Grammys but I feel that I'm preaching to the choir. I'm sure no one on this message board is out of touch with popular music enough to think that anything on that list is correct. Clearly if Sk8ter Boi wins best rock song SOMEONE has to pay...

Jay-z is popular both in mainstream and the streets and already won a Grammy (Eventhough he boycotted the grammy's that year). He should got a nomination for "Blueprint". As for Petey Pablo and Mystikal getting nominations is beyond me considering both albums were garbage to me compared to Scarface's and Nas's albums. But, anyway most rappers don't show up to the Grammy's accept the ones that are nominated for album of the year (maybe). I could care less anyway about Grammy's thats why we have our own award shows like Soul Train and The Source (eventhough that might not last). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
