With these nominees I think Hair wins it. Next to Normal definitely deserved a nomination, a little annoyed it was not. What do you think about the nominees?

I agree, I can't believe Next to Normal wasn't nominated. But out of those I choose Hair.

No N2N and no ROAD SHOW.

Why AINT MISBEHAVIN?

AIN'T MISBEHVIN? You've got to be kidding me.

The only reason the 9 to 5 album was nominated was because of its connection to Dolly Parton.

These are an absolute joke.

Of the nominees, Hair should win, given its complete lack of competition.

Shocked that Next To Normal didn't get nominated. 9 to 5? They can thank Dolly Parton for that.

N2N should of been on there. Hair will win now.

These nominations are all about PR. I imagine that Time-Life has more PR resources than Ghostlight or PS Classics.

I think the sound quality alone of the West Side revival should have taken it out of the running.

Hair should and will win.

I'm actually shocked that the beautiful recording of Allegro was not nominated. If I were choosing 5 nominees I'd go with: Hair, Next to Normal, Road Show, Allegro, and Kitty's Kisses.

HAIR should've won even if NEXT TO NORMAL was nominated, IMO. Like the Grammy for Best OBCR really counts for anything...maybe a tick in record sales but that's about it. It's not even televised on the Grammy ceremony.

There isn't a Time-Life recording nominated. Companies are Rhino, Ghostlight, Dolly, Decca and Masterworks Broadway.

I'm sorry Smaxie, Ain't Misbehavin was originally announced on Tim Life and I have it stuck in my head that they're still distributing it.

"Like the Grammy for Best OBCR really counts for anything"

Wicked is quite proud that it won the Grammy, it always uses the "winner of __ awards, including the Grammy!"

Have either of you heard the album? It is really good.

I agree, Hair should win this.


...and a little part of me was mildly disappointed that "He Needs A Kidney" from 30 Rock wasn't nominated in the Best Song from TV/Movie. haha.

Yay "Shrek" and "9 to 5!" Big disgrace that "Ain't Misbehavin" which isn't on Broadway got a nomination over "Next to Normal!"

WSS should win, hands down. That album is ELECTRIC. Magnificent. It's my favorite recording of the score for Olivo alone, though Scaglione is no slouch. I don't mind Cavenaugh either, so there. Nonethless the ridiculously overrated HAIR will probably win. Isn't it on Ghostlight? If so, good for them and at least Ghostlight will benefit. That's what Grammy's are about anyway.

How is it a big disgrace? The category is 'Best Musical Show Album', not BROADWAY Album.

If you want to get technical Liza was just a long run concert...

I'm completely shocked that N2N wasn't nominated. I personally think it's a better album than HAIR. And WSS? Talk about one of the least passionate recordings ever. What I've heard of AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' sounded great, SHREK is... well... SHREK, and 9 TO 5 was a shoo-in because of Dolly.

Whatever. The only show to push their Grammy win was WICKED. It has no weight whatsoever, sadly.

I totally agree, that recording was so beautifully done.

I'm also shocked about the omission of Next to Normal, but Hair is most likely going to win now.

Why is everyone shocked that the Tony-winning Best Score didn't get a nomination??????

Damn, some of you folks must think the Grammys are about music.

Honestly, I find the N2N recording VERY dull and lifeless. The two times I've tried to listen, I've fallen asleep halfway through.

HAiR is my pick of the group, but I haven't heard Ain't Misbheavin' yet.

Perhaps they didn't want Ghostlight having two nominated recordings in one year, so they went with the better selling album?

[broadwayfreak2]

Posted: 12/3/09 at 2:01am

HAIR will win, hands down. I'm happily surprised 9 TO 5 and SHREK got nominated. Wasn't expecting AIN'T MISBEHAVIN' at all! If 9 TO 5 or SHREK pulls an upset, I'll be surprised. I consider WEST SIDE STORY and LIZA to be no competition.
