I disagree. Wholeheartedly. But okay. "

I guess you showed me.

Oh cool, they screwred the rest of the casts out of principal soloist nominations again. Gusss last year was just for "Hamilton," how unfair.

How bizarre that the West End Kinky Boots album is on there. I haven't listened to it, but perhaps that spot could have gone to She Loves Me?

[GreasedLightning]

The only reason West End Kinky is nominated is because of the team behind it. 

She Loves Me was not a good record. I'm not surprised to see it not on the nominee list.

Did I make this up or is the West End Kinky Boots a live album or something? Re: the team, they also won the Grammy for the Broadway album.

Waitress should win. I feel like they have a good shot. None of those other shows will be running soon (despite Kinky Boots).

"Oh cool, they screwred the rest of the casts out of principal soloist nominations again."

Yeah, what's up with that? Make up your mind, Grammys.

Thank you, BWW, for updating the title of your article. I was gonna say... how obnoxious to only include TCP in your title. 

I'd love to see Waitress win, especially for Sara Bareilles' sake. Kinky is an odd nomination, especially because they already won for Broadway. 

I could honestly see Bright Star taking it. With Martin and Brickell's name attached, plus the celebrated cast recording despite the shows premature closure. The concert next week is being billed as a "celebration of the success of the Bright Star Original Cast Album." It has done really well.

"

Why is this the case? Who decides who the "principal soloists" are? This year there's only one or two, which seems like even less than usual.

Keep in mind that there is often heavy campaigning even for a nomination. Kinky Boots has money with which to campaign, She Loves Me... not so much.

Such a shame.  She Loves Me was the best album this year.

[CindersGolightly]

Posted: 12/6/16 at 9:53am

Can we petition them to update the nominations to include every cast member that got a solo in the nomination? I'm too salty about Annaleigh being left out in 2013, but now they've backtracked and nominated even less people and I'm even more upset. It just doesn't seem fair that they included EVERYONE last year and didn't even try this year.

The principal soloist listing is absurd - but we do know if this is a recording academy decision? Or do the producers petition soloists and the academy approves/denies?

Grammy nomination this morning, Broadway debut tonight. Killian Donnelly is having a great day!

I really cannot believe how many people were nominated as 'soloists' last year and now it's back to being 1-2 people. It does not look fair at all, it really looks like it was done just to laud Hamilton more.

Kinky Boots again? I had to do a double take. And I'm surprised Fiddler on the Roof was nominated. But, nevertheless, congrats to everyone!

[Jeffrey Karasarides]

Posted: 12/6/16 at 10:50am

I actually predicted Fiddler on the Roof would get nominated, so I was thrilled that it was.

[CindersGolightly]

Posted: 12/6/16 at 10:52am

I had the album to "Bright Star" open on Apple Music anyway, so I compiled a list of who should have been nominated. It took me literally less than two minutes. Very upset about this.

"Bright Star" - Carmen Cusack, Emily Padgett, A.J. Shively, Paul Alexander Nolan, Stephen Bogardus, Stephen Lee Anderson, Dee Hoty, Hannah Elless, Michael Mulheren & Jeff Blumenkrantz

After Eight said: "What about the scores of Allegiance, Tuck Everlasting, and Paramour?"

probably because those scores aren't...good. though i agree that the Waitress album wasn't mixed very well.

I'm guessing you don't understand the meaning of the words "principal" or "soloist"?

All due respect, the daughters in Fiddler did as much if not more on their cast album than Oak did on Hamilton's. (I love Oak a lot but he's the best example.)

[gypsy101]

Posted: 12/6/16 at 11:41am

eh Okieriete did much more than, say, Jasmine Cephas Jones who has a Grammy now.

i actually agree that more than Carmen Cusack should have been nominated. Paul Nolan did about the same amount of work and that girl that sang Ashville was very good (it's one of the best songs on the album)

Jeffrey Karasarides said: "I actually predicted Fiddler on the Roof would get nominated, so I was thrilled that it was."

Before you start bragging too much, let's not forget you staunchly insisted that Leslie Odom Jr. wouldn't even get a Tony nomination for lead actor and then petulantly insisted he had no chance of winning over Danny Burstein.

SHE LOVES ME was hands down the best album of the year so this list is a bit of a joke. I imagine BRIGHT STAR will win but how I'd love to see Jessie Mueller win another Grammy.

[gypsy101]

Posted: 12/6/16 at 11:44am

i also predicted Fiddler before Jeffrey so that makes me even cooler

Slow clap.
