一年一度的葛萊美獎頒獎典禮又即將到來，而這也是最令我害怕的時刻，因為葛萊美的獎項實在太多，每每貼提名名單，總要耗費許多時間；還好自上屆開始葛萊美由一百零九個獎項縮減成七十八個，不過本屆又多了三個，但不管怎麼減，名單仍然是又臭又長。
今年有多個歌手與樂團都獲得六項提名，分別是Frank Ocean、The Black Keys、Fun、Mumford & Sons、Jay-Z 和Kanye West等六組，其中R&B的新星Frank Ocean不出所料，以六項提名並包含多個重要獎項，成為最亮眼的新人；而由Jay-Z與Kanye West合作的專輯"Watch The Throne"，橫掃饒舌獎項共獲得四項提名，加上兩人替其他歌手助陣的單曲，兩人各分別獲得六項提名。歌唱選秀出身的Kelly Clarkson，第五張錄音室專輯"Stronger"讓她獲得共四項提名，全落在重要獎項；另外一位R&B新人Migue也獲四項提名。黑人女歌手Rihanna三項提名。以"Call Me Maybe"紅遍全球的Carly Rae Jepsen，也有兩項提名進帳。
話說我邊貼提名單曲的試聽連結邊聽歌，發現這麼多年來我還是無法接受重金屬歌曲，聽完提名的那幾首歌，簡直像在地府繞了一圈。另外，Anita Baker重唱Tyrese的單曲"Lately"，在youtube上全被禁掉，竟然找不到專輯版，只好放上一首Live版。第55屆葛萊美獎頒獎典禮將在洛杉磯舉行，屆時Star World頻道會有現場live直播，時間為2月11日上午9點（台灣時間）。第55屆葛萊美提名名單如下，待各獎項公佈後，得獎作品將以"◎"符號標示。
