It's low hanging fruit, I know, but I think Luke Bryan singing for all of us when he says, "I don't want this night to end." Or this performance!

Now here's somebody who knows how to work a stage, and a twang. Nashville is going crazy for one of its hometown heroes.

What do you think of the show so far? #GRAMMYNomsby arjanwrites via twitter 12/6/2012 3:30:48 AM

Wow...wish there were some artists on stage who knew more than 3 chords.

He could melt igloos with that voice.

-
And @frank_ocean is now up for Best New Artist!!!! #GRAMMYNomsby SoulBounce via twitter 12/6/2012 3:32:41 AM
-
Here we are at nomination announcement No. 3, courtesy of the Alabama-bred country quartet Little Big Town. This time, it's Best New Artist. Another biggie. Remember the surprise a few years ago when jazzer Esperanza Spalding won? Or last year when Wisconsinite and indie favorite Bon Iver took home the prize?
-
where the fuck is esperanza spalding? why is it that the ones who deserve the awards never win or even get nominated?
-
Quite a list of musical newbies! This is a category that defies expectations, and always an eye-opening one. Is there anyone absent from the list, in your opinion? Are you familiar with all the nominees?

Use the commercial break to send in your opinions and observations. We've got a lot to talk about!
-
I was hoping Emeli Sande and Ellie Goulding would slip into the Best New Artist category. Hunter Hayes is a surprise. Ocean will take it.by arjanwrites via twitter 12/6/2012 3:33:21 AM

Two nominations so far for Frank Ocean. This one for Best New Artist. That boy good. #GRAMMYnomsby dawsonink via twitter 12/6/2012 3:33:29 AM

Alabama Shakes
Fun.
Hunter Hayes
The Lumineers

Ok, so clearly Fun., Kelly Clarkson, and Taylor Swift are going to be nominated for Album of the Year...hopefully they save room for someone with a talent, too...

We've already heard from nominee Hunter Hayes -- now he's a rival to Fun. in the Best New Artist category. Who's your pick?
-
OMG!!! TAYLOR SWIFT WAS NOMINATED FOR BEST RECORD OF THE YEAR
-
Well, we've already been treated to a genre-busting array of performances, but there's more to come, as we just heard. I don't mind waiting to hear the Country Solo Performance nominees if it means watching Fun. and Janelle Monae team up, with Ne-Yo directly on their heels, and I bet you don't either.
-
Here in the house, they're sweeping up all the glitter in preparation to have some FUN.
