Totally agree with you.

I'll take one nomination in any category and be over the moon... of course, if there is more than one... this board might expire when the fees are due coz I'll be dead!

Hey Ghost Town was an unexpected hit. Most people I hear or know love GT, but had no idea that was Adam. That's Adam Lambert? And they are happy for him, I don't know because of how different he is, but they know his huge talent. So if their is a song on US Pop Radio this year that could be a darkhorse for song of the year or record of the year, it is Ghost Town imo. But watch this space.

Not to sound dumb or anything

, but does the label do the submissions for the Grammy?

How does that work? We probably discussed this when he got nominated for WWFM, but I forgot

Yes, the label submits whatever they want from the artists they choose. Then it's put to a vote by the members of the Academy... Nominations are announced in December.

Warner never misses a chance to promote him - right?

Nope! I was so happy that they put him in for at least 5 categories (they were not all listed in the article). TSP was never submitted for anything, AFAIK....

svca · #1072

Thanks for the answer, guys!

Watching how Warner promotes him, I can definitely see that they called him immediately after he left RCA. They sure act like they truly appreciate him.

I just wanna rag about Ticketbastard and their ridiculous system for presales!! Pure torture to get tickets for Adam's Wilkes-Barre show. AND, being the great Grandma that I am, I'm gonna have to go thru this all again next week for 5 Seconds of Summer tix for my granddaughter.

LMAO...cause I had to sign up for their fan club and buy their album to get presale rights for the tour. (My Grand is only 10). Her birthday is coming up...and she's like a Glambert...only for 5 SOS. Tix to see them will mean more to her than the Ipad I just ordered for her
