Miley Cyrus ain't no Taylor Swift. David Cook ain't no Carrie Underwood. Kanye West probably isn't happy. (What else is new?)
Here's a rundown of the snubs, surprises and other stuff of note from tonight's Grammy nominations, plus Michael Jackson's MIA status explained:
• Miley Cyrus started the year with a hit movie and hit soundtrack, and ended it with fewer Grammy nominations than Ed Asner. Translation: Zero. Translation: Eight fewer than Taylor Swift.
• Cyrus' "The Climb" earned one nod in a non-marquee category (Best Song Written for Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media, where it'll probably lose to Slumdog Millionaire's "Jai Ho"), but none for its singer (the award is for the songwriters).
• Welcome to the real, cruel world, David Cook. The season seven American Idol winner got nothing for not growing up to become Taylor Hicks. Most notably, Cook came up empty in Best New Artist, the category fellow Idol alum Carrie Underwood won in 2007.
• Demi Lovato and Justin Bieber likewise failed to get Best New Artist love, making it a bad night for teenagers not named Taylor Swift.
• Where to begin with Kanye West? Yes, the award-show Grinch netted six nods, but no big fish: No Album of the Year, no Record of the Year, no Song of the Year, etc. Plus, his favorite Beyoncé song, "Single Ladies," got shut out of the ultimate prize, Record of the Year.
• Can't stop hum-hum-humming Owl City's "Fireflies?" Grammy voters could. The song and Adam Young's alterna-outfit got zip.
• The Black Eyed Peas are so powerful that only the Black Eyed Peas can stop them, with "I Gotta Feeling" nabbing a Record of the Year nod over the group's just-as-ubiquitous "Boom Boom Pow."
• Whitney Houston, we have a problem: Zero nominations for you and your comeback album, I Look to You.
• Michael Jackson, sit tight: This Is It, the soundtrack and the single, were absent from the nominations because the collection wasn't released until after the Aug. 31 eligibility cut-off date.
• Britney Spears, happy 28th birthday: You nabbed one nod. And while it wasn't for a prime-time award—with apologies to the Best Dance Recording category—it was for an award.
