I’m glad someone brought up the issue of David Cook not being nominated. He has an amazing voice, writes his own music, is hardworking and had an album that sold better than any other new artist (other than Lady Gaga, who isn’t technically a new artist). So by any criteria, he should have been nominated. I do, however, think that Beyonce deserved all the awards she got. I’m usually not a Beyonce fan , but her latest album really made me see her in a different light. Taylor Swift is so overrated, it’s almost a joke. She’s talented for someone of her age, but certainly not Grammy-worthy.

I totally agree… I used to not mind listening to some Beyonce or Taylor Swift on the radio, but they’re played so much, that I’m getting sick of them real fast, specially Beyonce. Don’t want to hear about her, herself, or see her for a very long while, thank you very much! And about the grammies, I’ve lost my faith in them, as all other major music awards, they’re all way overrated in my pov. Hoping that that will change one day, but I’m not holding my breath.

Couldn’t agree more with you on the omission of David Cook in this year’s Grammys. Not a single nomination ? and all of the nominations went to mostly the other 2 persons ? Come on, do i need to listen to taylor’s songs being played every 60 minutes on radio ? they are overly recognised and over-exposed. Great article !

Thank you for an interesting article. I definitely agree with you about the endless Taylor and Beyonce nominations. This particular Grammy show came off as too commercial, corporate and slick for me, with the exception of the wonderful performance by Pink.

I also totally agree with the ridiculous snub of David Cook for BNA. It certainly left many, many viewers feeling contempt for the old school Grammy machine.

Perhaps next year, they will get over their narrow minded snobbery and include that fine artist who has fought his way up in the music world the hard way, despite what they think.

Thanks again for a fine article.

Thank you for recognizing the frustration of many fans re the omission of a nomination David Cook from the Best New Artist category. If the Grammys were looking for commercial success, his first album went platinum in 12 weeks and was one of only three new artists that went platinum. If they were looking for popularity, look at the over 150 tour dates (mostly sold out) that he played last year. He cannot be beat in raw talent – before idol he had several albums with his band Axium and a solo album, Analog Heart. Many of the tracks written by Mr. Cook. We appreciate your mention of this oversight.
