- Best R&B is full of criminals - Chris Brown, El DeBarge & R. Kelly - sgtmike Dec 1, 07:07
- and good to see they're as on the ball with new artist as ever. -- nm - mafic Dec 1, 06:50
- what exactly is the difference between album of the year and record of the year? -- nm - mafic Dec 1, 06:48 3
  - album=album, record=song, song=song writing. duh!! -- nm - Don Homer Dec 1, 06:49 1
    - consolation prizes. check. -- nm - mafic Dec 1, 06:52
  - Album is the entire collection of songs; Record is a single song. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 06:49
- So, is this list something we can laugh at, besides the same people getting noms repeatedly? - Will Hunting Dec 1, 06:45 1
  - We can laugh b/c Wiz Khalifa got nominated for a grammy. That's worse than any of the pop star nominations. -- nm - MDH Dec 1, 06:47
- "Black and Yellow". Someone should be shot. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 06:43 2
  - Haha I knew you'd be all over that. -- nm - MDH Dec 1, 06:47
  - And I'm disappointed paul simon wasn't nominated for album. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 06:47

    - He had For Emma, Forever Ago in 2008. -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 1, 06:43 7
      - this is what I thought. I really liked that cd. -- nm - amanda Dec 1, 06:43 6
        
        Yeah. The way it was released made it ineligible for awards or something. -- nm - MDH Dec 1, 06:46 5
        
        "Independently" -- nm - Kim Pine Dec 1, 06:48 4
        
        That doesn't mean you are ineligible. It was something with that specific release. -- nm - MDH Dec 1, 06:50 3
        
        No, I believe they actually define new as "the album that entered you into the public consciousness" or something -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 06:53 2
        
        Also true, but I think I found the reason. - MDH Dec 1, 06:56 1
        
        Overthinking it, I think. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 06:58

  - someone explain the difference to me (i know there is one, somewhat.) -- nm - Andie Dec 1, 06:33 6
    - Album is album; Record is the performance of a single song; Song is for the writing of a single song. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 1, 06:40
    - album is for the "album". The difference between "record" and "song" is that song is a fine line but song is more for writing of the song. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 1, 06:38 4
      - There's no shades. Song is for writing, record is for therecording. -- nm - TFox Dec 1, 06:40 2
        
        then why not call it 'song writing' and 'song'? seriously. -- nm - Andie Dec 1, 06:41 1
        
        Grammys officially calls it 'Song Of the Year: A Songwriting Award. -- nm - Diva Dec 1, 06:48
      - thanks (in my mind 'record' is the entire thing too, even though i know i've been told this about 10 times.) - Andie Dec 1, 06:40
  - I have a feeling it's going to be the Adele and Kanye West show - MDH Dec 1, 06:33
