Ok, this is how I did this. I did the categories I know, have heard music from, or are just worth while categories to do. I did only categories that I have heard music from. I did this on an artistic level, not popularity or how much I liked the song, though that had a little bit of influence. I picked who I thought deserved to win these awards. So, if you would like to do the same thing you can go to www.grammy.com and click on the nominations link.

I'm very upset that Incubus only got nominated for one award, Michelle Branch also only got nominated for one award and Good Charlotte got none and System of a Down got nominated for only one also...*shakes head*</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>A lot of good nominations, but they seam to be nearly all North American groups.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah sum41 never got nominated, and Celine Dion didn't either, bet that makes you cry? :)</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>1) They didn't release any albums this year, 2) They're from Canada which is the largest country in North America and the Western Hemisphere, 3) What have you been smoking? =P</div>

<div style='font: 11pt arial; text-align: left; '>You picked Hero to win LESS than five grammy's? You are foolish indeed.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Yeah they did, 'Does this look infected' sound familiar to you?</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Well then, what is the point of your comment when you yourself listed Canadian mucisians to win quite a few categories? And again I'll repeat, Sum 41 and Celine Dion are both from the North American continent. Don't make me get into my geography lessons for Americans again!</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Seek, calmly respond to this question. WTF are you getting at? Of course they are north american groups, the latin grammy's are on later on and no one gives a shit.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>You said that Celine Dion and Sum 41 weren't from North America.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Only album I have is 'A Rush of Blood to the Head', which is fantastic. I don't even know if the releases by bands I like were nominated.</div>

<div style='font: 11pt "EngraversGothic BT", "Copperplate Gothic Light"; text-align: left; '>Oddly enough, I couldn't find that statement anyway.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>I said that nearly all the bands were North American. Barret said I must be angry that Sum 41 and Celine Dion weren't nominated which either means he thinks those two bands aren't from North America or he's a space cowboy, your pick.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>It seems to me his comment about those two had nothing to do with your North American comment - it was that they were Canadian.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt Arial; text-align: left; '>Thank you Kupek! It's nice to know someone understands me! :)</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>I think he was just being difficult.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>Well you are wrong.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>Seeing how Barret told I was right, and it is something he said, I don't know how you can say that.</div>

<div style='font: 9pt ; text-align: left; '>I hate the grammies. They should rename it to "Top Selling Albums of the Year" award, because it seems the requirements are that you need to be on a major and sell gold+ to get nominated.</div>

<div style='font: 12pt ; text-align: left; '>1) My topic stated that there were few non-North American bands nominated.

2) Barret said I was just upset that Sum 41 and Celine Dion weren't nominated.

Celine Dion and Sum 41 are both fom Canada which (despite your lack of geographical knowledge) is a part of NORTH AMERICA. Not only a part, but the largest part.

I am sorry I can't make it more clear, because I know it is impossible for you to understand anything that anyone says.</div>

<div style='font: 10pt verdana; text-align: left; padding: 0% 10% 0% 10%; '>His statement had nothing to do with your statement about North America. He was (trying) to kid you about Canadian performers not being nominated - it was independent of your North America comment.

I'm also going to make the request that when you disagree with others, make the attempt to be civil. I'm making this attempt.</div>
