The nominees for the 2011 Grammy Awards have been announced, and some of your favorites including Kanye, Lady Gaga, Nicki Minaj and Adele each have multiple nominations. Also happy to see my girl Robyn nominated in the Best Dance category and Skrillex in the Best New Artist category. I'm sure it will go to Nicki Minaj, but hasn't she been around for a while now? I guess when you have certain artists shoved down your throat every three seconds you forget they've only been out for a short period of time.
Anyways, to find out who wins, check out the Grammy's when it premieres on Sunday, February 12 on CBS. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that Madonna hits the stage to perform her new single. In the meantime, check out a list of the nominees (the ones I care about since there's too many categories to list) and a few performances from last night's Grammy Nominations Concert below...
