A List Of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago

BUT WILL THEY BRING SEXYBACK? Because of the silly eligibility year, we missed the Grammy cutoff (September 30). Because of the oddball eligibility year, stuff winds up being eligible for awards in February 2007 that was big in the fall of 2005 (just one of many problems with the Awards). There are a few obvious front-runners and questions (Will the Dixie Chicks ride political sentiments out of the country categories and into Record/Album/Song of the Year? Can Christina Aguilera transcend mixed reviews for Back To Basics and score big nominations?). One of the more interesting categories in years is Best New Artist--The Fray and KT Tunstall seem like locks, and under the strange "prominence" standard, OK Go could get in, plus critical favorite Corinne Bailey Rae. Most interestingly, a person who was nominated for (and lost) the Best New Artist Grammy as a solo artist could be nominated for the same award this year as part of a group. For 10 points, name that artist, who is likely to lose most awards to the Dixie Chicks in their primary category.
