Music Minute - Grammy Nominations

The 2011 Grammy nominees were just announced during CBS's Grammy Nominations Concert Live event and with so much amazing music released this past year -- not to mention monster tours -- it's was as competitive as ever.

Eminem is the frontrunner for Grammy gold with ten nominations and country trio Lady Antebellum racked up four.  While stars like Justin Bieber and Miranda Lambert got nods, noticeably absent from the nominations list was 'Tik Tok' star Ke$ha.  

I'm most excited to see that newcomer Bruno Mars nabbed 7 noms beating out Lady Gaga who received 6.  He's a great vocalist and song writer and deserves all of it!

I'm also happy to see that Ceelo nabbed a nom for Song of the year for his song "Fuck You" or the radio version "Forget You" *lame*  That record was HOT from jump!!  Good luck to all the nominees.
