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.

My canine instincts told me that the following artists would be celebrating today including Bruce Springsteen, Paul McCartney, Kanye West, Akon, Beyonce, Chris Daughtry, Amy Winehouse, Linkin Park, Fergie, Vince Gill, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift.

The top honors go to:

Kanye West received 8 nominations including album of the year. Amy Winehouse gets 6 nods including song of the year, record of the year and best new artist. Springsteen got the nom 4 times including best rock album. Paul McCartney had the hat tipped his way for best pop vocal album.

Beyonce was if favor for record of the year. Chris Daughtry got the signal from the judges for best rock album. Vince Gill got the grin for album of the year and best country album. Carrie Underwood was honored for song of the year. And, Taylor Swift received recognition in the best new artist category.

Akon, Fergie and Linkin Park whiffed when swinging for the fences this year. The Foo Fighters were a grievous omission on my part as they received nominations for record of the year, album of the year and best rock album. So, by my little canine scorecard that I keep tucked in a secret hiding place, my results were 9 right, 3 wrong, 1 grievous error.

Not bad for a crazy canine with doggie breath, an old chew toy and a passion for music.
