The biggest moment in music is on its way. The night of February 10 will mark the 55th year for the Grammys. The annual music awards show honors the musical achievements of your favorite artists. Although, some dispute how winners are chosen (i.e. music peers, Grammy committee, group of men/women who have no clue), the lucky artist (s) could care less knowing that they’ve reached a huge pinnacle in their career.

 

This year, most of the same categories surfaced. All genres of music are being represented: Rock, Pop, R&B, Rap, Country, Dance, Blues, Americana??.  To our surprise, Frank Ocean has like five nominations.  In addition, Toronto-native Drake does good with three nominations.
