The funny lady has moved one step closer to her goal of winning a Grammy, as her comedy album, For Your Consideration, was nominated for Best Comedy Album at the Grammy nomination ceremony tonight. CONGRATS KATHY!!! You deserve it!!!
Somehow the Jonas Brothers were nominated in the Best New Artist category. WTF??? First: they suck and Second: They’ve been around way longer than 2008.
In fact, all the Best New Artist noms kind of suck: Adele, Duffy, Jonas Brothers, Lady Antebellum, Jazmine Sullivan … uh, where’s Katy Perry? Colbie Callait? Sara Bareilles? Stupid.
The full list of nominees is here.
Oh, Beet. Sara Bareilles had an album out in 2004.
Also, Adele and Duffy are both critically acclaimed and amazing IMO. Then again, I’d probably take anything over one of Katy Perry’s painfully manufactured pop singles.
At least we can agree that the Jonas Brothers totally suck!
Adele is my goddess. Sometimes you can tell between someone who has Good Producers and someone who has a Voice (capital V). Adele has a Voice. I love her.
YES! Adele is awesome!
sorry beet but Duffy is f*ing great! love her
what do you want Katy Perry for ???
we agree on the JoBros
I hate award shows cause they nominate people that deserve only a school talent show award, on the other hand i think people like Adele,Duffy, and others deserve the awards
it would be insulting to katy to put her in the same category as the jonas brothers for consideration. i know it’s for new artists and that’s really all they have in common, but still. having her name read on the same list as theirs would be painfully degrading to her god-like talent and charisma.
just saying.
I love Kathy, but running against George Carlin… that’s tough competition!
Kathy is one step closer to taking over the world.
Katy Perry is NOT good… when will people realize?
Um, Duffy does NOT suck. She’s got a great voice and has potential for a long career. And Adele, though I odn’t care for her music, also has a great voice.
And well, Katy Perry is one giant bowl of suck, who will become a “Whatever happened to…. “story on VH1. She’s supercute, but her songs are trite and annoying.
I love Lady Antebellum. Has anyone here listened to them?
Colbie Callait? Really, Beet?
Plus I think the “New Artist” category has to do with when you broke out into mainstreamness, as opposed to being Disney’s playthings in the JoBros case. Though they still don’t deserve the nod.
I’ll say it before and I’ll say it again, I have an irrational fear of the Jonas Brothers.
Hey Beet, delete this post ASAP, it embarrassing.
I see, if EB had her way TRL would still be around and she’d be front and center with a bunch of 14 year olds from LA. Stuff really simmers slow on the West coast. Your category is quite telling, sun shine. They’re like Jennifer Aniston with a lil spice (Katy Perry). I know who Katy Perry, Colbie Callait, Sara Bareilles are (I like them to different levels)…for like a long while now. The other people are barely making it huge in the mainstream. I could name like one good mainstream song from each. (If I was 12 maybe all the songs from the Jonas Brothers but that’s an age and hormones gap. everything looks good when your’re that young.)
Oh, I don’t like Griffin, but I’m not sour she won.
Oh no, Beet! Adele is amazing. She doesn’t prescribe to that stereotypical singer/celebrity vibe and she can actually sing.
I’m with Beet, if the Jonas brats can get nominated, Sara Bareilles should have been too. I love that woman.
Beefy should seriously start it’s own blog. I’d sign up.
hey beet, who’s funnier, kathy griffin or chelsea handler?
ADELE IS AMAZINGGGGGGGGG
I <3 KATHY SO MUCH! I hope she wins.
i can’t believe that I’m disagreeing with you! Adele is just amazing! Her voice is like velvet! Someone with acutal talent that can sing without the help of some major production behind her. Have you listened to her live? And these compliments coming from me… well, I haven’t said that about an artist in quite some time… and Katy Perry… c’mon, Beet… seriously?
i really like jazmine sullivan! shes really good
I’ve watched comics for 50 years and Kathy tops them all!
She should get her Grammy AND a crown.
All hail Queen Kathy.
she looks like more carrot top each day
KG was only funny on Seinfeld, and that was only because she was playing herself (an awful comic) next to actual funny people.
