Stevie's Grammy Submissions - Page 2

Except for Street Angel and TOSOTM...she always gets a Grammy nod. TILL had several nominations as Album of the year...Planets Of The Universe was best song nod...

Maybe she will even get a lifetime achievement Grammy!

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.

I'm not sure but didn't Coldplay and Red Hot Chilli Peppers release new albums this year? I think they have pretty good chances of winning album of the year if I've got my facts right.

I really wish they'd put Moonlight forward for a nomination, IMO it's the best song from the record.

A lifetime achievement thing would be cool, I'd love to see her win anything tbh, she obviously deserves recognition for her work.

The only one Stevie has any chance at is Best Pop Vocal Album. Since that's not one which carries a lot of notoriety and prestige, she just might be able to get away with winning it. Though like others have mentioned, I can definitely foresee an Adele clean sweep this year. But just as 1977 was Stevie & Fleetwood Mac's time in the sun, so is 2011 for Adele.

I agree Stevie's chances of a win are very slight. I'd be amazed if she wasn't nominated in two or three categories, though.

Edit: I initially couldn't fathom the choice of Secret Love for the songwriting award, but now I've realised it's because she can't submit anything with a co-credit, isn't it? That does rather leave the field a bit more sparse, and SL probably not a bad choice. It has no chance of winning, though.

For songwriting and video, For What It's Worth should have been put forth.

...but strangely enough, the "geniuses" in Stevie's camp did not submit IYD for best rock album.

You really have to wonder what drugs these people are taking. Or maybe they know something the rest of us don't know... After all, there have been some oddball album of the year Grammys given out over the years: Turbulent Indigo by Joni Mitchell, River: The Joni Letters by Herbie Hancock, Two Against Nature by Steely Dan, etc. From what I can recall, none of these albums exactly blew the minds of the critics when they came out (although Turbulent Indigo did garner some glowing raves). I do believe that IYD absolutely deserves to be acknowledged with a Grammy, but the whole marketing of the album just seemed so reticent and tentative. Instead of assaulting the airwaves with the A-list "hit" songs from the album right from the get-go in rapid succession, they just kind of allowed it to plod along while releasing radio-unfriendly songs to radio without accompanying videos and spacing the releases too far apart. It would be a miracle if even half of the voting Grammy Academy knew Stevie had released an album.

I definitely think that the FWIW video should have been presented rather than Secret Love.

However, I think Song of the Year is awarded to the composer, which for FWIW, would have been Mike Campbell, at least to my understanding. I'm not sure if Stevie would get anything for having written the lyrics.... I might be wrong.

ETA: And all this just reminds me of when Kathy Griffin & Bette Midler called Stevie because she thought she was a member of the Academy, haha.

I would love to know what was going through her mind at the time.

Amazing!!!!

I agree. Soldiers Angel is her best shot at receiving a Grammy in this (rock) category. BUT if nominated she'll also up against males & bands in the rock category, since the Grammy's eliminated best "female" rock performance and lumped them all together. It would be nice to see IYD at least earn a nomination for album of the year, but no way would she win that. Adele is going to sweep. And Stevie has not got a chance in the pop categories imo.
Soldier's Angel is her best bet!

gypsy4life · #25 10-28-2011, 02:18 PM

That performance of Soldier's Angel DESERVES a Grammy!!!

jwd · #26 10-28-2011, 02:18 PM

I would have nominated IYD best rock vocal album. That is all.

Jondalar · #27 10-28-2011, 03:05 PM

Secret Love should not be nominated for anything. However, Soldiers Angel I think deserves a nomination, so does the album.

Thank you!

On another note, I love what Stevie has put forth, but I don't think she's gonna get much out of it. Maybe for the album but not for Secret Love or Soldier's Angel. A nomination would be really great though!

I'm sorry.I'm not puting down other genres down.Rap was fine when it first hit the airwave.now I'm just tired of it.It's not my cup of tea anymore.
