Les nominations sont tombées pour les Grammys 2012 et on doit reconnaître qu’on a un assez joli cru. Je suis assez ravi dans la catégorie R&B de retrouver Tamia, Robert Glaspert,Anita Baker SWV ou encore Tyrese, Luke James et R.Kelly. C’était pas une évidence de les voir nommer donc c’est plaisant, la catégorie ” Best R&B Album” sera absolument impossible à départager.Monica a été snobbé mais c’était prévisible.
La surprise par contre,c ‘est aussi de voir qu’ils ont snobbé Mary J.Blige malgré ses bonnes ventes cette fois et c’est une bonne chose pour lui remettre les idées en place. Dans la catégorie pop, on a évité le foutoir mais je suis content de voir Kelly Clarkson en espérant que ce soit elle qui l’emporte comme je souhaite que Frank Ocean ait le ” Best New Artist”.
Dans la catégorie rap, Nas est très présent et ce n’est que justice, il mérite de rentrer avec tout ce pour quoi il a été nommé quand John Legend devrait avoir le ” Rap/Sung Collaboration”.
Enfin tout ça est très excitant et ça fait longtemps que les Grammys ne l’avaient pas été. Je vous propose de donner vos favoris dans chacune des catégories et le 10 Février, on saura qui a gagné.
