Stevie's Grammy Submissions

[GoldDustOrphan]

She did get a Grammy nomination for TOSOTM: Best Female Rock Vocal, "Whole Lotta Trouble."


Record companies and individuals submit recording to the Grammy nomination committee for consideration and to assess eligibility, etc.

This year, the Grammy org has reduced the number of categories from 109 to 78, and it has eliminated male/female category distinctions. So Best Male Rock Vocal and Best Female Rock Vocal is now one category: Best Rock Vocal. They've done the same with every genre. Best rock instrumental recording was eliminated.

These are the awards for the entire Rock category:
Rock Field

Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance
Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance
Grammy Award for Best Rock Song
Grammy Award for Best Rock Album

Stevie has good shot at a nomination or two in this category because this year she's met all the criteria the Grammy committee responds to, including her recent Grammy museum appearance/student lecture. They'll also want both sexes represented in the Rock Field or risk criticism. (However, Lady Gaga will probably take the nomination for her big rock hit "You and I," which features Queen's Brian May on guitar. Lindsey won't receive any nominations in the rock category. The nomination process filters out artists and albums with what it considers "insufficient sales" (i.e. less than 50,ooo units).

But, it's Adele's year. Album of the Year, Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Pop Vocal Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal will all go to her. With 4 million in U.S. sales, 21 is 2011's biggest seller. That's twice as many albums the #2 best-seller, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way"1.9 mill. Adele also has two #1 singles, Rolling in the Deep and Someone Like You, and she just might find herself nominated twice for Song of the Year and Record of the Year. Someone Like You just moved back to #1 this week.

I don't care if Stevie is nominated or not. I rather see the organization demand that Beyonce return her undeserved Grammy for Song of the Year (which goes to the songwriter) since she didn't write it (or any of the other songs she falsely claimed to have written. NeYo, Rob Fusari, and a number of "collaborators" have called her out for it. The Oscar committee stripped her of a nomination when it discovered she had not contributed either music or lyrics to "Listen." Interestingly, Stevie is still unaware that Beyonce's father scripted her story of how she was inspired to write Bootylicious after hearing Edge while on a plane, etc..All scripted lies, as detailed in a two page interview with hitmaker Rob Fusari in Billboard.
