Grammy Nominations

I don't usually care about this kind of thing, but I noticed MSN's headline that the Grammy Noms are out.
Kanye, Winehouse Lead Grammy Nominees
Kanye West is leading with 8. Good for him. Can't say I'm overly familiar with his stuff (especially recent) but after that stupid rivalry with 50 Cent (who bothers me in many, many ways), I am glad Kanye got it. Some people have beef with him-- I enjoy his music.
The one I don't get is Amy Winehouse. First of all, "Rehab" is a shit song that is horribly overplayed, obnoxious, and bores little holes into one's brain in which the song manifests itself and repeats until it drives you nuts enough to take up a drug habit and, well, end up in rehab. But seriously... can ANYONE name another song by her? And she has SIX noms? That's it, I'm gonna start wearing my hair in an enormous unbrushed circa-1950's beehive, wear 7 pounds of makeup and take my marital & drug problems public and score myself some Grammy noms.
Other thoughts: I have a strong dislike of Beyonce as well. I remember the first time I heard a Destiny's Child song and thought, "THIS band will be gone tomorrow, thank GOD." Well I was technically right-- the band is gone. Beyonce, however, is here to stay. Again, I don't see the talent.
I'll give Rihanna props. Although "Umbrella" has that same "bores holes and lives in your brain" issue that "Rehab" does, it's OK. At least I could name another Rihanna song.
JT: OK, I love JT, I admit it. But I don't think his latest album is Grammy material. Nonetheless, if JT wins Record of the Year, I will be happy.
I would love to see Vince Gill win the Album of the Year award. I love Vince Gill, and have for years. I bet most people (including/especially anyone reading this) couldn't name a song by him, which is, among other reasons, why he probably won't win.

Overall opinion of the 2007 Grammy Awards? A disappointing pile of stuff I see all over the sidewalks in Troyes every day of my life.
