я шокирован. как проснулся, сразу же ознакомился со списком номинантов на грядущее Грэмми. такое ощущение, что у Бейонсе кругом лобисты, её каждую неделю какой-нибудь журнал называет то женщиной года, то певицей года, то звездой нового тысячелетия, то еще чем-то. да и тут в номинациях - где могли, там и впихнули. она номинирована и в рнб, и в рэп, и в поп, и в классических рнб и соул категориях, в то время как, к примеру, ту же lady Gaga не выпустили из танцевальной категории. у Гаги номинирован poker face и сам альбом the Fame, а у Бейонсихи, как минимум три песни с альбома и две с саундтрека к Cadillac Records. в общем, я негодую. снизу основные номинации, под катом другие, крупным выделены те, за кого я буду болеть.
