wow, great news. 2 songs for Max
I don't see him winning. Grammy winners are usually boring and safe choices, mostly I don't even remember who won, it's hardly ever anyone I like.
Probably Bleeding Love will win or Duffy
I can't pick the Dance album winner. I hope it's Cyndi Lauper or Robyn.
I hope Leona wins Record of the Year,I'm afraid that Coldplay might win a lot of them this time,I never liked Coldplay,their music is just boring and stupid...
I like Sara Bareilles too,I don't see Katy or Pink winning the category,Pink might win only if she belongs to the female rock vocal performance category like Trouble did last time..But it's a big achievement for Max, 2 songs nominated for the same category..
And what the heck, Lil Wayne's album is nominated for album of the year? It's completely cheap and rubbish..I can't understand Grammy,they're always choosing the most generic ones...
Both of Max songs were hits, so technically they have to be rewarded.
Lil Wayne is nomimnated, and they say grammy is the most respectful awards ::)
I hope Leona wins something, cause she really deserves.
GOOD LUCK MAX!!!! ;)
woww , two max songs! , exciting! I hope max win something
So exciting though just as you Reb, I don't see him winning.
I have more hopes for the ASCAP this year...
Anyways, good luck Max!
I Would love to see Leona wins over So what and I kissed a girl , BL is so much better song!
Yep, probably Leona Lewis will win - but will they give it to an X-Factor winner?
I think the music industry is more accepting of Idol singers etc now, but still, it could go against her, there are still a lot of music industry snobs.

Category 93
Out of that list I hope Rick Rubin wins, but it will probably be Will.i.am.
Agree with you Unexpected that Leona Lewis is excellent and I thought that Bleeding Love at the beginning was an Andreas or Kristian's song, the rhythm is similar to Celine's I'm Alive, have you ever noticed? But for some reason, I don't really like Leona as a show girl and her personnality is not as strong as others. Maybe it's just a matter of taste.
Imagine what if I Will Be got released earlier,then there might be 3 songs written by Max in the same category... ;D I Kissed A Girl, So What & I Will Be
I always disagree with Grammy noms and all that, sure Katy Perry got robbed by the Jonas Brothers, she was not even included as Best New Artist!
About the Lil Wayne, I used to hate that song, Lollipop, but if you anlize the track from a production perspective, the mixing, the sound game etc, you will notice how a crappy song turns into a masterpiece. Sure I hate to addmit it, but it's true.
Oh! Almost forgot, notice that this is a year in which a nice percent of nominees are british. Thank God!
Jonas Brothers??? Gosh,Joe Jonas needs a lot of vocal lessons....I can't stand his voice...Lil Wayne is rubbish and will always be :)
I hate the Grammy's. They wouldn't know a quality pop song if it slapped them in the face. I'm still furious about them choosing Christina Aguilera over Britney in 2000. That made absolutely no sense at all.

Yeah, Slutina instead of Britney, I didn't forget this one! >:(
actually I had forgotten that! Christina over Britney - crazy. I like Christina but not most of her music, but clearly Britney is the bigger star.
Usually every year I can't believe who the winners are.
and I think it was Santana who won over BSB - another crazy choice!
I agree with you Reb about the crazy choices. I think the Gammy organization prefers to award less 'commercial' acts (take 'commercial' in a good way ;) ).
Christina has better vocals than Britney, but the reason why she got nominated I think was because of her songs which really showcased her singing ability...(I Turn to You is what I mean)..But not anymore after Dirty..And now she oversings everywhere...I love Fighter and The Voice Within though....btw,I thought Genie in a Bottle was written by Max,it's surprising to know that it wasn't...
