I'm glad one of my favorite artists this year, Duffy didn't go unnoticed by the Grammy committee. I'm actually excited about the British invasion. We can finally divert our attention from the British train wreck that is Amy Winehouse and let that poor woman fade into obscurity. I'm convinced that the only thing keeping her alive is the worlds interest in her. She actually died several months ago and is existing in a re-animated zombie state.
Check out the video for her single "Mercy" under the cut".
Welsh singer Duffy is among the British talent which dominated the nominations for record of the year at the US Grammy Awards today.
Coldplay, who earned a total of seven nominations, will compete with fellow Britons Adele, Leona Lewis, Led Zeppelin singer Robert Plant and MIA for the major honor at the awards show next year.
The British rock band, Radiohead, and Plant will also face each other in the album of the year category while Duffy - who shot to number one with her catchy single, Mercy - and fellow British soul singer Adele were among those nominated for best new artist.
Coldplay were only outdone by Rap’s most ubiquitous and successful artist Lil Wayne, who won a leading eight nominations.
In the coveted record of the year category, Coldplay was nominated for Viva La Vida, or Death and All His Friends – its first album in three years and a huge hit.via: Wales
