Grammy Praises Mammy

It’s no surprises that Amy Winehouse and Kanye West both came home with a handful of Grammy’s last night. It’s also no surprise that Kanye West loves his mother. What was a little surprising is the extent to which he wore his love on his sleeve. Instead of wearing his love on his actual sleeve, [...]

Amy Winehouse Finally Granted Visa, But Too Late for Grammys

British singer Amy Winehouse was finally granted a visa to enter the United States, but a little too little, too late to perform at the Grammys on Sunday. The embattled singer has been her own worst enemy of late with stints in rehab (like her song) and caught on video snorting illegal unmentionables. Nominated for [...]

Okay, so yesterday this dog made a few predictions about who would get the Grammy nod today. Let’s paws to reflect, then tally the scorecard to see how I did.

50th Grammy Award Nomination Guesses

Well, it’s the day before the 50th Grammy Award nominations are announced so I thought it would be fun to take a few guesses at just who will receive the honors. Of course, it’s an honor just to be nominated as they say, so there’s no harm in throwing out a few names and checking [...]

Bob Dylan Overlooked in 2 Grammy Wins

Well, the 2007 Grammy’s featured the Dixie Chicks, Mary J. Blige, Ludacris, Carrie Underwood, John Mayer, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Police and a bunch of others. But, even in this “bunch” the name “Bob Dylan” seems to have been lost. Bob Dylan, one of the greatest songwriters in history, who has been cranking out [...]

Once into drugs, alcohol and abusive relationships, Mary J. Blige has cleaned up both her personal life and professional image and now has 3 Grammy’s to show for her transformation. Nominated for a whopping 8 big ones at the 49th Annual Grammy Awards, Mary J. Blige also performed solo and with Ludacris and Earth, Wind [...]

Carrie Underwood Floats Atop 3 Grammy Wins

Carrie Underwood is floating on top of the world since winning three Grammy Awards in the 2007 competition. The understated Underwood was the winner in season four of American Idol as well. One of the Grammy’s Underwood won was for “Jesus Take the Wheel” written by Hillary Lindsey, Brett James and Gordie Sampson. The Christian [...]

Ludacris Is Not Ludicrous In Rebelling at Grammys

Rap star Ludacris joined the Dixie Chicks at the 2007 Grammy Awards in throwing out a little rebellion of his own. In a year that favored rebellion over convention, Ludacris decided to throw a little shout out to both conservative Fox talk show host Bill O’Reilly and talk show diva Oprah Winfrey. The Ludacris tongue-in-cheek [...]

Grammy’s Making Nice to Dixie Chicks

In last Tuesday’s blog entry I predicted that the Dixie Chicks would get their groove back in this year’s Grammy Awards Ceremony. Not only did the Dixie Chicks win for Song of the Year, but also for Album of the Year, Record of the Year and Best Country Album as well. A few years back [...]
