In my opinion, any general field nominations for Whitney Houston are unwarranted. For the record, I think it's a perfectly fine album and her voice is not as wrecked as many would have thought, but I think any nominations in these categories will simply be because of a Clive Davis-supported/Comback machine, which is a shame for other artists.
Additionally, while I may be surprised come Grammy night, Maxwell will get the short end of said stick when Whitney wins for the R&B Album category over his phenomenal effort.

This thread is kind about the "hateration", but I gotta agree and say that my worst nightmare would be if U2 was in all 3 general field categories (I might could live with just 1, but even that might make me a little sick) and if Eminem somehow got in to the general field at all (which I doubt will happen).
I think Whitney might be deserving of an AOTY nomination, but just not at the expense of Maxwell. Hopefully both can get in.
Not to start any hateration for Beyonce, but if her album ended up in AOTY (which no one is predicting and could very well happen given that she's released 5,000 singles from it), I would not approve. As of now, I only predict her for SOTY for "Single Ladies" (since not eligible in ROTY with that one).
Also, I feel like we have enough great music this year to fill the general field, that we don't need filler oldie nominees. Please NARAS!!! No "classic" artists nominated in the General Field unless they've A) Had a hit single or B) A hit album. That would tick me off (as it does every year!).
Normally weird nominees in Best New Artist would be a nightmare, but I think this year they might have to given the lack of potential candidates. I hope either MGMT or Owl City can get in though (which BTW...I didn't know Owl City was a solo male performer...sounded like a band's name).
For Your Grammy Consideration: Kanye West for "Heartless" and 808's & Heartbreak Adele for "Hometown Glory" Taylor Swift for "You Belong With Me" & Fearless Maxwell for "Pretty Wings" & BLACKsummer'snight Kings of Leon for "Use Somebody" The Cast of GLEE for "Don't Stop Believin' " Mariah Carey for "Obsessed"

Britney in the general field, or pop vocal performance.
Beyonce in the general field. "Single Ladies" warrants ROTY though but it wasn't sent. Also, she does not deserve any songwriting nominations because she is not a songwriter.
U2 in AOTY or ROTY.
Kanye West in AOTY. Sorry his album is overrated and I don't care what anyone says, he is not "due" for anything.
Lady Gaga showing up in the GF b/c I previously predicted she wouldn't show up there (it would suck to have to eat my words).
U2, Eminem...agreed. Add Kanye West for me.
I don't mind if BEP gets a nom for ROTY for "I Gotta Feeling" but if "Boom Boom Pow" shows up anywhere in the GF, or their album shows up in AOTY, I will vomit.
That's enough hating from my side for the day lol.
