Nominalizarile pentru Grammy Awards 2012 au fost anuntate printr-un eveniment special. Lady Gaga a cantat iar Kanye West si Adele au primit vestea ca au cate sapte, respectiv sase sanse sa mai ia cate un trofeu din partea industriei americane.

Grammy Awards au ajuns la editia cu numarul 54 iar evenimentul prin care vor fi anuntati castigatorii celui mai prestigios trofeu din industria muzicala mondiala va avea loc pe 12 februarie.

Incep prin a va spune ca eu cred ca Grammy-urile din 2012 nu mai sunt deloc ce erau. Asa cum la VMA sau AMA au fost tot felul de interese pe baza carora au fost alcatuite listele cu nominalizari si castigatori, asa s-a intamplat si aici. Ca un observator atent al acestui fenomen in ultimii cinci ani, e destul de evident ca totul se transforma intr-un show iar cei care se afla in promovare au prioritate cand vine vorba de trofee.

Anul asta, Kanye West a spart gheata cu sapte nominalizari, e urmat de Adele, Bruno Mars si Foo Fighters cu cate sase, Lil Wayne si Skrillex cu cinci iar Rihanna, Drake, Mumford & Sons, Radiohead si Nicki Minaj au cate patru.

Rihanna se poate bucura, in sfarsit ca e pe val. In schimb, Lady Gaga are 3 nominalizari, Beyonce are una singura iar Britney Spears – nici una. In partea masculina, Chris Brown si Jay-Z au cate trei mentionari insa numai in categoriile dedicate muzicii urbane.

Va las sa vedeti mai jos nominalizarile iar dupa aia sa urmariti showurile prezentate de Lady Gaga, Rihanna.
