2005 Grammy Nominations

Rapper Kanye West and pop singer Mariah Carey lead this year’s Grammy nominations with eight each. Mariah’s up for album of the year with her Emancipation of Mimi and song of the year with We Belong Together. Kanye is also up for album of the year with Late Registration and song of the year with Gold Digger.

John Legend, a Kanye West protege, also received eight nominations.

I guess being at the Grammy nominations was one of the reasons why Mariah cancelled her Hawaii concert dates.
