It is official…the 50th Annual Grammy Awards nominations has been finally announced. Bajan born Rihanna has been nominated in four individual categories in addition to two collaborations, shall we say six nominations then, we certainly will.  Rihanna’s “Umbrella” featuring Jay-Z  from her recent album, ‘Good Girl Gone Bad’ has been nominated in the categories, ‘Song of the Year’ and ‘Record of the Year’.  It has also been nominated in ‘Rap/Sung Collaboration’.  

Atypical of her usual sultry singing style yet innovative “Don’t Stop the Music” is nominated in the ‘Dance Recording’ category; also from her recent album.  ”Hate that I Love you” featuring Ne-yo has also been nominated in the ‘R & B song’ category and it is also up in the category ‘R & B Performance by a duo or Group with vocals’.  
I must make mention of the fact that Rihanna’s “Umbrella” in the category ‘Record of the year’ is vying against previous award winning ‘big dogs’ namely Justin Timberlake’s, “What Goes around, Comes around”; Beyonce’s “Irreplaceable”; and Foo Fighters “The Pretender”.  In the ‘Song of The Year’ category, her contenders include two of my favorite singers, Amy Winehouse, with, “Rehab” and Corrine Bailey Rae’s “Like A Star” , I’m proud of them for being nominated also, being female and new that’s an acheivement.
The 50th Annual Grammy Awards will be televised live on CBS on February 10th, 2008 at 8pm(ET/PT).  Boy, I am biting my nails for this one, I strongly believe there is going to be some shake up this time.  New artiste taking over in 2008..while I’m at it I must congratulate all the nominees and Mr Kanye West who is leading the pack with his eight nominations, let the game begin.

No disrespect but this a yawn of a category. The reggae grammy nominees look the similar every year. Not that these nominees haven’t contributed much to the reggae community, but…
