Carrie Underwood, Fantasia, and Adam Lambert Earn Grammy Nominations

Further proving that the Grammys are irrelevant, 3 former Idol contestants received nominations this year. Carrie Underwood predictably scored a nomination for her song Temporary Home, Fantasia received 3 nominations in the R&B categories, and Adam Lambert received a nomination for Best Male Pop Vocal for his payola crapsterpiece Whataya Want From Me. While that may sound good for this group, take note other "talented" nominees include Justin Bieber for Best New Artist and Katy Perry for Album of the Year. Hopefully the 3 former Idols will perform together on stage in one grand VFTW performance involving Carrie short circuiting while Adam Lambert humps a sweaty Fantasia from behind. That oughta be enough to get the show cancelled.

Here's some basic behind the scenes Grammy knowledge.

The Academy vote only for music in the genre they work in. That means shitty pop stars and producers nominated shitty pop stars and producers for Grammys (ie: Adam Lambert being nominated at all, Perry getting in for Album of the Year).

Another news flash? The Grammys are more heavily campaigned for by record labels than the Oscars are by film distributors. Katy Perry is up for Album of the Year because her label bought the nominations through heavy marketing and backroom dealings. Same with Adam Lambert for Pop Vocal, which he has no shot of winning as he's up against a famous dead guy. Carrie at least has some respect within the Country field and Fantasia lucked out in a weak year for contemporary R&B. And by weak year, I mean the R&B/Hip-Hop voters created Urban/Alternative Performance to push away the music that challenged their stasis. You aren't telling me what Cee-Lo and Janelle Monae are doing this year isn't R&B.

The whole ceremony is a big joke, driven by a bigger machine that early 20th century NJ politics. It's corrupt, slow to change, and impossible to regulate as rules can be broken if enough money is put in the till.

I thought the Lambert song was released way longer ago. No matter, it's still the only one of those that I've actually heard.

The other nominees in Adam's category are: the corpse of Michael Jackson (or rather, the people still trying to make money off it), Michael CheeseBalle, John "Racist Manslut" Mayer, and Bruno Mars. Ok, I don't have anything against Bruno Mars and don't mind him winning. But the rest of these people - if Adam wins I'll just consider it a VFTW victory at Grammies.

If Adam wins, I swear I will never listen to music again. If that idiot's song plays on the radio, I quickly change it and I don't hear it often at all. Heck if Daughtry who sold tons more that Lambert and never won what chance does Lambert have? All I can say is that the label was desperate to get him nominated so that maybe they'll be able to break even so they must have campaigned like there's no tomorrow. His album did not go platinum the year it was released which isn't something to brag considering all the media and pimping he got and all he has to his credit is only have one platinum song to boast about. Kris's single went platinum before Lambert's. So here's proof - get some idiot to die his hair, put on 1/2 inch of pancake makeup to hide the craters on his face, dress like some clown (actually clowns have more class) and scream your head off and that will get you a Grammy nomination. He hasn't a prayer of winning. I wouldn't consider it a VFTW victory at all if he won.
