I agree.Anyway I hope Adele cleans house.

Part of me thinks "what does this woman have to do to get a nomination!?" She worked really hard to get her name out there with this album. Another part of me thinks she's better off not being nominated and rising above the fray like she always does. With the current nominees that I saw tonight, not being nominated makes her stand out more positively it seems.

Let's see, Kanye West, Lady Gag, Rihanna, and Cat Perry on the list
of nominees - who needs them? It's like it's always been, just another
popularity contest for the music industry to pat themselves on the
back. I can't even make myself watch that show anymore.

Didn't Pat and her husband Neil receive a Grammy last year? That's the Grammy I was betting on. Lifetime Achievement type...

Reading more about the Grammys I discovered that they had over 17,500 submissions this year, so that's pretty daunting. Also, the number of catagories shrunk dramatically, dropping from 109 last year to 78 this year. They also consoldated 52 of them into 21. This obviously made it a LOT harder to get in this year versus years previous. Obviously she would have had a much better chance if she could've gotten IYD out last year, but coulda, shoulda, woulda, right?

Submit better songs. Seriously, there's so much better material on IYD than Secret Love.

Not a big surprise to me considering the sh*tbomb they submitted. a as was stated a WHOLE record of great tunes. They pick one of the weakest tunes on the album Although I do enjoy Soldiers Angel. Anyway.....GO ADELE!!!!!!!!!!

If you give awards any validity at all, then you have to go with what they choose. Stevie's music didn't just get worse because they didn't nominate it, just as those other people's music didn't get any better. Would Stevie have found it pleasant to get a nomination? Probably. But beyond that, I hope she shrugs it off and - as others have said - gets back in the studio and keeps on doing what matters: making new music for me!

No Grammy nomination? I don't know how you feel about that, but to see no female artist being nominated in Rock category makes me wish there was category like Female Rock Performance again. Rock's not only man's game.

[StandbackStevie]

I was hoping Stevie would get a nomination or two too for her In Your Dreams, I heard I think this year they changed the awards and took out a few catagories. They should but in classic rock performance by a female or male catagory. Grammy's want to go to the younger crowd. Stevie doesn't need a grammy anyway she has us that love the new album and anything she does. The Grammy Awards are not like they used to be they used to boost your album sales alot back in the day. Stevie will tour next year with the album and probably release a few songs with videos.

[poetinmyheart]

It's a shame. A Grammy nod would have been nice, but this has been a brilliant year for Stevie and Stevie fans regardless.

I recommend a music gender change to have Stevie get notice at the Grammys.I've been saying that for years.Rock tunes are dead now especially from older performers Like Stevie and others that we love.Stevie is old enough to be some of these young artists granny.Sorry Stevie.She's got keep to the current beat.She's got to make a change to keep up with the Lady Gaga'a,Adele's,Katy's and Taylor's.She probably got to start Rappin' Hip Hoppin' Or get on the high horse and belt some country tunes out .or sing with Katy Perry or somebody that is current.At lease Stevie will get a nod for a collaboration Grammy award.Now I feel like my parents when they were watching the Grammys back in 1978 when Fleetwood Mac was hot.They were saying the same thing as us.wheres Perry Como,Benny Goodman,Dean Martin,Sammy Davis Jr or Frank Sinatra.In the meantime WB records is not helping with any promotion.

Part of me feels that way, yet the other part of me is so pissed!!! I also wanna say Stevie please get back in the studio pronto! Put out another quality CD by June....you def can do it! The momentum and positive reviews from this last opus prove that you are still a viable artist. And honestly I Don't feel Secret Love was an inferior track. It glistens and is frothy...like an ice cold Corona on a summer afternoon. if I was her....I would def get another project out there and soon.
