Lady Gaga got locked out of Best New Artist category for 2010 Grammys

[YCHofficial 5,293]

 

“Well, I’ve been locked out of the Best New Artist category¦ I was a new artist this year. But it’s fine, I wouldn’t be screwing anyone over there to have them take the award”
“I’ve been nominated in the past, so technically due to songwriting and things, I’m not a new artist. But it’s OK, because the biggest reward for me has been my fans.”

----------

Grammy President Neil Portnow told EW. “We recognize that situation is not perfect, and we are looking at ways to figure it out.” Because “Just Dance” was nominated at the 2009 Grammys, Gaga is technically ineligible to be nominated for Best New Artist, even though that single was merely the opening salvo in what has pretty much become Gaga’s breakout year.

She was the reason they changed the rules for Best New Artist category.

Her influence knows no boundaries.

It's a sin for the birth of such a revolutionary new artist to not be acknowledged with that award

 

It's ok Gaga already has more Grammys than most A-List artists will ever see

Anyway miss Gaga is doing much better than whoever won the year she was supposed to be nominated   She doesn’t need a best new artist award to be an icon and legend

Grammys missed out.

She couldn’t win Best New “Artist” because she was already the Best New “Icon”

In 2010, Lady Gaga's exclusion from the Best New Artist category caused the Recording Academy to change eligibility requirements for the next ceremony. She was ineligible for the nomination because her hit "Just Dance" had been nominated in 2008. The new rule stated that an artist can be nominated as long as that artist has not previously released an entire album and has subsequently not won a Grammy. (Via Wikipedia)

Basically everybody knew she deserved the award, but couldn't get it because of a technicality, so they changed it to prevent it from happening again in the future.
