I'm so excited for Alicia and Usher!!!  It'll be a tough call in some categories that they both are in but I know it'll be a big night for both of them. I was surprised that Kanye got as many noms as he did, but not quite sure if he'll win outside of rap categories (don't get me wrong I love his cd and production talents, but not his attitude  ). I am especially happy to see my girl JOSS STONE  nominated for best new artist and think she has a good chance of winning. It's definitely between her and Maroon 5, who I also love. Additionally thrilled for the late great Ray Charles... I wasn't at all surprise at the number of nominations he recieved... As usual most extraordinary artists aren't recognized or honored until after their passing. I'm already working on my grammy party...this is going to be a great GRAMMY'S!
