My Own Rendition of Grammy Awards Nominees

People, I'm running out of inspiration for the topic I'm suppose to write on. It is a temporary condition that can affect me from time to time. Running out of topics - politics too gimmick and sickening, ISA later I'll be put into jail, movie review is not here for me to write on...

Everyone knows what Grammy is right? Grammy Awards is the sort of Oscar Awards but it was awarded to the musicians instead of the movie-maker. Just like the Oscar, the annual list of winners were decided via votes among the panel of people who called themselves experts. The winners are nonetheless always caused some controversies, chaos, hoax and disputes over the past. For example, did The Departed, an American remake of the Hong Kong's Infernal affair truly deserved a Best Picture award? Back to the music scene, this year's Grammy night saw Amy Winehouse, yes, that British crack-head bitch abuser won 5 Grammys especially her Rehab song. WTF was that song? Go to rehab also can win Grammy it is? I suddenly realize that the Grammy, when deciding the winners was also been very subjective and sometimes certain songs deserved a title not even win any single trophy. That's why, I have this idea of counter-backing the Grammy, lists of what I think should be the winners. I bet next year's list of winners will be as weird as ever again. Unlike Grammy's January nominees list, mine is on September.
