GRAMMY NOMINEES 2009

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost 15 years since these songs competed for Grammy Awards. As you might recall,   Robert Plant  and  Alison Krauss  were the biggest winners of the night, winning five awards, including  Album of the Year  for their critically acclaimed album  Raising Sand . Krauss became the sixth female solo artist to have won 5 awards in one night, joining  Lauryn Hill ,  Alicia Keys ,  Norah Jones ,  Beyoncé Knowles , and  Amy Winehouse .



Katy Perry made waves with her “I Kissed A Girl.” Duffy’s “Mercy” was the last nomination for a talented singer whose career imploded.



As usual, this sampler includes new groups and old groups, new performers and older performers. Do you remember these songs? Any favorites here? GRADE: B
