Sorry if I left anybody out (Or spelled anything wrong). Keep posting anything you find. Thanks!



Buckeye, I’ve never heard anything about Tatiana since Idol ~ but apparently, she’s been busy! The girl never gives up ~ if you can win a Grammy in THAT category, she wins hands down!
Unless someone at VFTW is her record executive, either she or someone close to her did the submissions – which is perfectly legal as long as they are sold in mainstream outlets like iTunes or Amazon.com, since it was released in the period allowed (October 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009), whether 19E likes it or not. I had to keep my eyes peeled in case others like LaKisha Jones or Amanda Overmyer made submissions too (I never found them).
I highly doubt she will even make it past the first screening, let alone to the nominations, though…
If we knew them beforehand, I’d be curious to see how many pre-Idol recordings were submitted as well. Of course we couldn’t keep track because we didn’t know they would become Idols…
The voting deadline is October 9 if anyone here has voting rights (doubtful, but you never know).
Bo Bice has 3 tracks on this album.
Umm, why is Tatiana even being CONSIDERED? lol.
Madison – good catch! I forgot all about them.
Thanks, itsalleternal, for posting the Grammy timeline and the total amount of submissions.:-) I trust that it is okay to copy the info and post it elsewhere. I will credit you, of course, with putting it together. I wanted to post it at other fan sites where there different threads kept for other Idols, like specifically at Phil Stacey’s phan site, Ace Young’s, and Danny Gokey’s, where I do post. Thanks to everyone else, too, who has supplied info.
Who the hell submitted Tatiana? LOL…
I think Kelly could get a nomination both in the female vocal and the pop vocal album category. Those are the two she won in 06.
Thanks for catching that, Madison. I’ve updated the main post.
If I were you, I would credit this site as a whole, as MJ was the one that posted everything that I found. However, feel free to credit me for identifying the information and the Idols involved.
I had been looking for several days and only last night did I actually find the links (with the help of several other sites, such as Pulse Music and the Gold Derby boards, which were also following the lists).
However, NARAS (the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences) deserves the ultimate credit, as they leaked it – once again.
Reading some of the people (songs or whatever) on this list made me laugh out loud which really emphasizes that you can submit all you want & apparently these labels have a great sense of humor or they are throwing spaghetti against the wall to see if it sticks.
So if there are nominations that come out of this, that is impressive. Winning is better, but being nominated isn’t bad at all. Of course, I wouldn’t even bother to list what I think is ridiculous & I am not even counting Tatiana in this list.
I’m hoping for Best New Male Artist nomination for Cook. Heck his album went platinum in less than 4 months & he has two platinum singles off that album so that has to count for something & nobody in that list of idols under that category can say that.
I was shocked to see Tatiana on that list, then just very annoyed. Can’t she just go away?
Also mj, there’s just one t in Archuleta.
I found another Idol that’s been submitted but isn’t in the lists above:
Category 108 – Best Short Form Music Video:
Jennifer Hudson – “If This Isn’t Love”
I thought if the Idols made it to the top 36, it was in their contract that they could not release a CD until after the winner released theirs? I wonder how Tatiana was able release a CD. Not to mention why……
Apparently, Tatiana thought it was legal because she released it on her own without label backing…
BTW, there is no “Best New Male Artist” category. Just “Best New Artist,” regardless of whether the artist is a solo male or female, a duo, a band, or whatever.
Yes..epic fail again. Permanent really should have been submitted. It’s the kind of song that would probably get widespread critical acclaim. Light On stands a small chance because the vocals are really gorgeous (although the only live performance I like is the acoustic one). CBTM doesn’t stand a chance in hell. His best chance is with the best new artist nomination, which I think he really does deserve. As popular as Cook was during idol, I do think that a lot of people don’t realize how talented he is until they see him in concert or see him perform a song more suited to his style (like Permanent). I blame RCA for that. Tired of trying to rationalize what they do.
If I were you, I would credit this site as a whole, as MJ was the one that posted everything that I found. However, feel free to credit me for identifying the information and the Idols involved.
Added. Thanks!
Oops! Fixed.
The links to submissions don’t work anymore. Wonder why. Now I wish I had copied and saved the rock submissions and some others. Oh well. Maybe they will come back, but maybe we weren’t meant to see them.
It’s not separated by gender, there’s just one BNA award for both men and women. He’s nominated for Best New Artist.
I see that Daughtry is submitted for Record of the Year for “Life After You.” What song is that? Is it his next single off the cd? I expected “No surprise” and it was a “surprise” that it was a different song, lol.
Last year they were only posted for a short time as well. They always get deleted pretty quickly. Since so many were watching it, I am sure that someone will post it on their own files…
As for liabilities, it WAS the Recording Academy who set it up for a leak so only they can be blamed…
I heard that Life After You is Daughtry’s next single, but why would they submit it if first ballot is due Oct 9, when No Surprise is still spinning strong, and Life After You hasn’t even gained any traction? Weird.
I’m thinking about the whole first balloting to 25… I wonder if DC would make the first cut down to 25 for BNA. There are definitely 25 worthy artists in that list of 300-plus, IMO. Or is the first balloting process not for the general fields? Feel like I heard that somewhere.
All of them go through first ballot. It is just very tough to just pick 5 nominations out of the up to 750 valid submissions, and that creates the risk for fluke entries. Imagine, for instance, if the VFTW members were quick enough to reach voters and put Tatiana up there? She wouldn’t have to go through a second phase, she’d be immediately up for nomination…
