Beyonce, Madonna
The Grammys are drawing nigh, and while we, the buying downloading public, don't necessarily cast a vote for who walks home with the golden phonographs, we'd still like to know which artist you're supporting this year.
Are you under the spell of R&B queen Beyonce, or are you still a loyal Madonna devotee after all these years? Did you crank up the volume every time you heard newcomers Katy Perry and Adele's catchy tunes, or do you prefer to jam to Rihanna's chock-full-of-singles album?

The Jonas Brothers
Finding a distinctly new nominations rhythm, the Grammys announced this year's nominees in an all-star concert countdown Wednesday, hosted by LL Cool J and Taylor Swift. The unlikely emcee matchup set the tone for many of the categories' diverse nominees, starting with Lil Wayne and Coldplay topping this year's nominations count with eight and seven nods, respectively.
Going head-to-head for top album of the year are Lil Wayne's Tha Carter III, Coldplay's Viva La Vida (both of which were top selling LPs in 2008) and Radiohead's In Rainbows. Joining them are Ne-Yo's Year of the Gentleman and Robert Plant's Raising Sand, on which he collaborated with bluegrass crooner Alison Krauss.
Krauss and Plant also overlap with the nominations for best record of the year, along with Adele, Coldplay, Leona "Bleeding Love" Lewis and M.I.A.
More Grammy nominations, after the jump.
