Miley Cyrus has hit a low note: One of her songs is no longer up for a Grammy.
"The Climb," her single from her Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack -- written by Jessi Alexander and Jon Mabe -- received a Grammy nod for best song written for a soundtrack.

But in an unexpected twist, it was announced Thursday that the tune has been pulled because it was not specifically penned for the movie, thereby making it ineligible for the award. (Cyrus' camp withdrew the nomination the day after the Grammy nominations were announced last week, when the error was discovered.)

The nomination will now go to "All Is Love," by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. The song -- which received the next highest number of votes -- was written for Where the Wild Things Are.
The Grammy site does reflect the change, but a spokesperson for O's label confirmed the news to MTV.

"In an unexpected twist, one of the announced Grammy candidates for Best Song written for a Soundtrack has been disqualified after the fact," Matt LaMotte, of O's label Interscope Geffen A&M, said in a statement. "The nomination then goes to the song with the next-highest initial vote count, which is Karen O and the Kids' 'All Is Love.'"

O will now compete against Bruce Springsteen (for his title song for The Wrestler), Beyoncé (and others for the song Once in a Lifetime from "Cadillac Records"), Slumdog Millionaire score writer A.R. Rahman for "Jai Ho," and Paramore's Josh Farro, Hayley Williams and Taylor York for the Twilight song "Decode."
Tell Us What You Think
15serves her rite!! okay.. i like the song but the singer, dont even get me started!
What is wrong with you people,first Miley and Madonna are the only female performers to be inducted in the World Book Of Records,Second the Miley brand is worth about a BILLION DOLLARS...at 17..She has a movie that did great in the rateings. She is a very nice person on screen and off,listen to all her songs and watch her movie, of course thats to much to ask from hard core HATERS like you.....Get your own life like Miley...if you think you can.
she too much of a mad girl,she has a bad rep for little kids that like her from hanna montana.
a grammy are you kidding me? these awards shows are becoming a big joke nominating these manufactured no talents
what can you say? I personally don't like her or her music but do give her credit for keeping the young kids entertained. Her dress stlye leaves a lot to be desired. Remember Miley you do have a lot of young followers and it would be wise to dress a little more appropriate for a girl your age. Yes 17 is almost grown up but take it slow because the memories you make now will affect you the rest of your life. Make them good one with no regrets.
By the time traci Lords was 17.. she had conquered the porn world and sent her women competition wimpering to the caves. 17 is more mature than you think it is. And if it isnt mature... the parents goofed.
millions of years=millions of dollars. Ok ok. I concede. I'm not an advanced typist. I was flying planes when I should have been learning to type.
the audacity of women making $40,000 a year thinking they are qualified to tell a woman making millions of years how to live. hahahahahahah! ladies, i've seen arrogance before but that takes the cake.
She isnt growing up too fast. She's not 7 you morons. She's 17. By the time I was 17, I was a business owner in junior achievement and I was flying airplanes as a hobby solo. 17 is the age people start getting accepted by ivy league colleges for advanced science classes. 17 is the age many military men started their career as freedom fighters. If your sons or daughters are not mature adults by 17....... its because you gave them flawed genetic material and probably an average or low IQ to boot. If your son or daughter is not a mature adult by 17...... YOU GOOFED and shouldnt have bred. She is growing at the pace ADVANCED humans grow in. STOP TRYING TO HOLD BACK THE ADVANCED. And.. on top of that.. .she is richer than 99% of you "mature women". Dollar for dollar you have the value of mud compared to her.
Hey Melvin, when you become an adult you will realize that Miley has an awful voice and will never be a great singer because she hasn't got the talent. You just can't see beyond your hormones right now.
Yes, she's growing too fast and trying too hard. May have serious problems trying to keep up with others; daddy may not be 'round 4evr.
miley you are growing up to fast slow down you look older than taylor swit, you got a long way to go and belive you me the day will come when you wish you could turn back the hands of time enjoy
So long as she doesn't go the Britney Spears or Lindsay Lohan path she will become a great singer.
poor poor miley cyrus..............
hey miley a ant a big fan but you are great and you are relly sweet by.
