This year Grammy Awards Nominations

[musician]

I just looked up the nominations lists with a sad feeling, coz Vanessa isn't included.  :cry:
I remember 5 years ago when she was nominated for three categories, i.e., record of the year, song of the year, and best instrumental arrangement accompanying vocalist. Eventho she didn't win any of those categories, but at least ppl recognized her pretty well and appreciated her works.

Even if her album went to #1, she still wouldn't get nominated. She isn't eligible this year.

If only I were the judge, I would definitely submit her into the nominations. I believe she would have been if Nolita Fairytale hadn't been the first single, but More Than This, at least for the best record or best song...

But then again, it's the eligibilty year (October 1, 2006 - September 30, 2007) that counts any released records for the nominations, since H&T was released on October 2007...

I was wondering what the eligibility rules were. Cuz I saw Beyonce's "Irreplaceable" got nominated! I was like, whoa, where'd that come from!  But I'm really excited about it, actually.

It's the year in which music records are released and valued by the grammy awards judges, so any records that are released before or after it, automatically not eligible..
