| I cant believe Kanye's album only got one nomination. That beast of an album changed hip hop |

| I personally can't stand Skrillex's variety of Dubstep. However, I can also say that I haven't seen any artists cause such a fundamental music shift in a group around me quite the same way he has in a long while... jesus, everyone is listening to that stuff these days. |

+1.
Congrats to Joel for his nominations. I don't like his prog-electro sound but a grammy nomination is a MASSIVE accomplishment :) |

the more I think about it, 5 nominations is such an insanely huge deal for Skrillex... if you haven't heard of him of yet, you have now.
this is his introduction to peeps who never listen to dance (ie: our parents generation)
what a mind, Skrillex on the red carpet...
Skrillex 5
Kanye 1
lol! you know Kanye is pissed off about this somewhere (haha and he should be) |

LOL, true man. Watch him go the dubstep route like everyone else to try and $$$$ in on it. |

| kanye's last album did half a mio in the first week... so, pretty sure he'd be taking a few steps down by making Skrillex money :p |

| I just hope that when people get introduced to EDM due to Skrillex, they branch off into real types of EDM after a few days of saying "what the am i listening to" |

(but Skrillex is far from mediocre imo) |
I don't like him :(
apart from that some really solid nominees there, Daft Punk <3
I'm so happy for Adele - she's been sick & due for surgery, canceled all of the remainder of 2011 tour, so this would be awesome for her! |
