And Now, For Some Real 2013 Grammy Snubs...

Where was Demi Lovato at this year's Grammy nods?

If you just read my post about Justin Bieber and his not being snubbed by the 2013 Grammys, you're probably wondering who I really thought was snubbed. Here are some of my choices.

Give Your Heart a Break - Demi Lovato
It was a moderate hit, but Demi Lovato's vocal performance is one of the most captivating of the year, at least in terms of Top 40. She probably would've scored a Female Pop Vocal nod, had the category still existed. Grrr....


Swimming Pools (Drank) - Kendrick Lamar
Considering how critically lauded he was, I was very surprised to not see him or his hit single on the Grammy list. It may be because they are holding him off for next year, but I think he still should've scored at least a Best Rap Performance nod.

Let Me Love You (Until You Love Yourself) - Ne-Yo
In a year filled with pointless EDM pop, Ne-Yo's empowering Sia-penned track was easily one of the best. Again, the removal of the Male Pop Vocal award cut his chances big time.

One Direction
After the Jonas Brothers scored a Grammy nod a few years ago, I figured anything was possible. So, I was surprised that the fivesome didn't score at least a Pop Duo/Group Performance nod for "What Makes You Beautiful". Maybe "Little Things", penned by Grammy nominee Ed Sheeran, will score them something next year?

Azealia Banks
This may just be semantics, since she doesn't have a full LP out yet, but "212" is one of best rap songs of the year by far, and she definitely should've garnered some Grammy buzz that would lead her into next year, when I assume her album will be released.
