The latest CD she has worked on was released in August of 2009, ouch just missed the cut homie.
I'm not looking for e-beef but she isn't new, I don't like Drake or Justin like that so don't come at me like that's all I listen to.
According to their (National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) rules she shouldn't even be nominated. That is my argument not who should have won, just that she shouldn't be in there.

Also from Wikipedia:

The official guidelines are as follows: For a new artist who releases, during the Eligibility Year, the first recording which establishes the public identity of that artist. Note that this is not necessarily the first album released by an artist.
So really this counts

Are you seriously over here upset Justin Beiber didn't win? You better be a female and have Beiber fever.

Did I mention Justin? No Did I mention Drake? No
Why didn't Lady Antebellum win best Rap Album........OH! because they don't create Rap Music

So an artist who has been professionally making music since 2006 shouldn't even be nominated in the Best New Artist category.
I retyped my first statement in bold on the off chance you misread it.

So who do you think should've won? Because not one of those artists are technically "new". All of those artists had songs on the radio in 2009. Two years ago. So if you got beef with her because she's not new than you should have a problem with everyone in that category. Maybe except Drake since his album just dropped in June but even he had a song on the radio in 2009.

Nobody nominated in that category made the deadline though homie 
I guessed they felt that they needed to bind the rules this time around

On another note didnt Justin win that last year

 

[checks mcgee]

 they shoulda held this +%*% on April Fools Day.  The $%*+ is going on?

Seriously, shut up.

You don't like it, not your taste, fine, but why do you think your opinions are so important? My goodness, grow up.

To the guy a few posts up, Suburbs was their third album. Personally, I liked Neon Bible the best.

you're such a predictable, no-taste-having hypocrite


run of the mill, blissful type dude.

Then I retire, I am wrong, no sarcasm. I'll let her celebrate in peace.
I'm not the typical NT type that would keep arguing for nothing.
While she was the second most googled person I wonder why she flew under my radar, I don't just listen to Hip Hop and I hate modern radio.

EDIT: (during the Eligibility Year) ?? Why accept the whole year when it started in September? I take my surrender back until this is explained.

 

[joe cool23]

To help end this argument, here are some previous Best New Artist Winners: Amy Winehouse in 08 (First album released in 03), Zac Brown Band last year (04), Lauryn Hill in 99 (if the fugees counts), Carrie Underwood, and the list goes on and on. The best way to look at the award is when the artist "blew up."

 

[falcon4567]

I already answered to that - but the album she was nominated for is a month before the cutoff date which is the issue

Well according to that than Drake shouldn't be nominated either because he dropped 3 albums prior to his debut album last year?

 

[falcon4567]

My theory; they wanted to nominate her last year but didn't and gave it to her this year instead

Edit: actually according to allmusic Chamber Music Society came out in August of 2010 making her eligible; maybe someone screwed with Wikipedia?

I agree. Most of these artists never are. I remember that one year Maroon 5 was nominated for a album that came out 2 years prior but they considered them Best New Artists. And its been a LONG year because I could've sworn Drake and Justin were nominated last year for this same award.

Sure feels like it anyway.

For what it's worth, I'm pretty sure Brothers won best alternative album.

[visualmusic]

This year was a horrible show. Bruno, BOB and Janelle KILLED it though! While unfortunately, this was the first performance from Gaga that I wasn't feeling.

Eminem needs to lighten up sometimes too. Dude always got that stoneface on
