4. New Artist: Heather Headley;

Wow. Cool. I used to authorize her employee discounts when she was an understudy in the World Premiere production of Ragtime in Toronto. She was really nice. I knew she hit it big on Broadway, but had no idea she was up for a grammy. Neat.

I mostly don't agree with any of these nominations.

Out of those choices, the only opinions I have are that Fountains of Wayne should win Best New Artist and Matchbox 20 should win Best Rock Album. And 50 Cent should not win anything.
