No, Britney should have been nominated, her song was top on itunes for several weeks. And for those that say she shouldn't be because of her life outside music...wth? Amy Windehouse sucks bleep and is an ugly crack bleep, yet she swings 5 grammys? Unbelievable. Kanye deserved his awards though. Look at the numbers, not at the person.

After a rough couple of months for Kanye West, things are finally looking up.
The rapper — who recently lost his mother Donda — leads the 50th annual Grammy awards with eight nominations, including Album of the Year for Graduation, it was announced this morning.
Amy Winehouse scored six nods, including Album of the Year. "I'm honored to have my music recognized with these nominations," she tells Usmagazine.com exclusively. "This is a true validation from people I respect and admire."
She also apologized to her fans for her recent harsh times. "Thank you for all your kind letters and emails, I am grateful for all your support."
Judging by the other artists nominated below, the red carpet looks at this year's show (airing Feb. 10 on CBS) should be interesting. See what they wore last year here.
