2009 Grammy Nominees

I liked some of the music, but I have to admit the Jonas Brothers cut left me cold. And the Eagles? Take a peek at the track listings and see if you're interested in the cd. If you don't care for the artists, you probably won't like the cd. Here's another volume of the annual Grammy Nominees series.

If you like pop music, this is a good collection.

You get almost 80 min. worth of music and a glimpse inside what is "big" in the mainstream music industry at this particular moment. Not all songs are worthwhile, but enough are. My favorite songs on this cd are "Going On" by Gnarls Barkley (I love it so much I bought the music video too), "Paper Planes" by M.I.A. (super-catchy, totally unique song), "American Boy" by Estelle & Kanye West, a fun & entertaining tune, "Closer" by Ne-Yo - he has a beautiful voice, "Love Don't Live Here" by Lady Antebellum, great song, beautifully sung, "So What" by Pink - powerhouse voice, and she rocks this fun song, "Mercy" by Duffy - excellent song, what a great voice this woman has, and "Bleeding Love" by Leona Lewis - wow, what a voice and she sings so seemingly effortlessly. Great listening!

I liked most of the tracks on this Grammy disc. Duffy's "Mercy" is a fun song to listen and dance to. I also like the track "Paper Planes" by MIA. I also like the country song "Love Don't Live Here". I like the track "American Boy" by Estelle and Kanye West. The unlikely pairing of Robert Plant and Alison Krauss works on the duet "Please Read The Letter" I like Alison's fiddle playing on this track The weakest tracks on this disc are Lil Wayne's "Got Money" and the Jonas Brothers "Burning Love". I know that both artists have legions of fans, but these songs just didn't connect with me. Adele has a good voice, but "Chasing Pavements" is a boring song to me. The disc has some gems, but it also has some weak songs.

If you don't care for the artists, you probably won't like the cd.
